Intel "Kentsfield" coming to XS...

You guys know how much I like to stir the waters.... :toast:

Just thought I would get you all buzzing about the new "dual die" Conroe chip coming from Intel Q1'2007. :D

The first ES chips are like a dual E6600 Conroe....
1) Quad core
2) Socket LGA775 (to be comptable with all VRM11 boards including the Intel "Bad Axe")
3) Similar to the Smithfield core in that it is two dies on one wafer. Future quad core chips will be a single die once the shrink to 45nm happens in Q3'2007.
4) 2.4Ghz, 4MB L2 cache per die for a total of 8MB L2 cache.

These chips are going to be FAST even with a moderate OC of only 3.0-3.2Ghz (although I see no reason why they won't go higher given appropriate cooling). :D

Keep your eyes peeled for an XS exclusive first look in the next couple of weeks.

which applications are we expecting to see the biggest increase in? will gaming get a boost, cause that would be unreal. the reason i ask is because i always hear people saying a higher clocked single core is best for gaming (amd fx line), but i'm curious what kentsfield will do for sure.

considering there is nothing on the market right now that even utilizes two cores the way they should dont expect to see anything huge.

the increase will come from the backbone of the conroe, and hte massive L2
dont forget the more L2 the harder they traditionally are to clock and keep stable at high clocks.

my 955 XE is as close as you can get to a quad core right now and i'll be honest.. i dont see anything special about it.
the simple fact tha an X2 chip will smoke this 955 XE pretty much tells its own tale.

but a friggin quad core Conroe.. sweet jesus im VERY sure the performance will match the price tag .. oops switch that around lol.

how will the conroe be more impressive? one die can't access the other's l2, and even if it could it would be slooow going over the bus (they use the bus to talk to eachother, right?)

i think we'll see the biggest gains in rendering, 3d content, audio/video compression and the like. right?

I think Kentsfields are supposed to be the new "Extreme edition" CPU, while Conroe being the main market.. So I don't think we will see Kentsfields under $900.

The real question is, will current apps benefit from quad-core? I also question what they'd be called? Core 2 Quartet? Core 2 Cuatro? I think they'll just all be Core 2 Extremes.

quad core would rock if Intel or AMD does reverse hyperthreading :D

8mb cache and 4 cores would blister the IMO useless superpi benchmark but would rock at gaming and encoding.

I have to agree here. The Conroes are of course kick-ass, but more because of overall architecture than two cores. Conroes will be great for multitasking, but until developers catch up, I don't see how 4 cores does anything other than increase the heat.

Of course, since Intel is now a multi-core company, developers should eventually be coding therefore...

There is something interesting on my mind! Is it possible to shut down every 2nd core on Kentsfield's two dies so we could have ultra-powerful dual core Conroe with no shared cache, but 2 cores with 4MB's of cache each? :D

Keep me posted on the board you get please? I been awaiting boards...I looked at supermicro and tyan so far. I don't know how stable and reliable since they are since they are fairly new.

Edit: Need one of them for 8 Gigs of FBDIMM 667 2GBx4 and two 5140s

I think you can feel pretty safe with the Supermicro boards..Never seen an issue with one and I even have a 1998 S2DGU DX700/2mb/100@784 running my ftp and also running Rosetta 24/7 at 100% cpu..no issues and thats 8 years old..

Most games are currently unable to take advantage of two cores, much less four. This should change, given time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but single-threaded games, and other applications, are not supposed to see performance gains from multiple cores unless you are running multiple applications.

I don't think that two dies using unshared cache use the bus to talk to one another. Rather, the unshared nature of the cache forces more trips over the FSB to main memory because information stored in one die's cache cannot be retrieve by the other die, if the cache is unshared. This is assuming that Kentsfield will use an unshared cache, like Smithfield, which everybody thinks.

Kentsfield is quad core, 2 die, single package, single socket, 65nm.

But I think he is referring to Bloomfield, which is quad core, single die, 45nm. October of 07 might be a little early for that, but Intel has been accelerating everything lately, so... why not dream the impossible dream. :D

Probably sooner

Q107 is the current official roadmap date, but rumor has it that both Kentsfield and its server equivalent, Clovertown, have an internal target launch date in Q406.

Given that they are both already up and running and are Conroe/Woodcrest MCMs, that doesn't seem all that unlikely...

Meh, I don't think so, it will be more like Presler then Smithfield, it's Dual Die implementation, we will have to see if communicating with something else other then Shared Cache will have a dramatic impact on Core 2 performance.

Programming multi-thread apps

I know that most games are currently single thread. I understand that multi-threaded games are heading our way (there are a few that do seem to work sorta already).

Is the programming for a multi-threaded app using a dual-core different than the programming for a quad-core? Or would any multi-threaded app be able to 'automagically' accelerate itself that much more on a quad vs a dual core without having to reprogram the whole thing?

I'm having trouble phrasing my question here... I hope I am making enough sense.

Hell, at least we can hope to skip a mobo upgrade :p:

FCG, can't wait to see how performance will scale with 4 cores. I think it will be most useful for multitasking rather than 3D at this point. Although CPU score in '06 will be ~5000 with o/c :rolleyes:

Theoretically we should be able to if you pick wisely... I am under the impression that a lot of the Core 2 boards will support Kentsfield...

Bill Gates said that the move to quad-core and beyond is going to require architectural changes to the software in order to make effective use of the additional cores:

"Now, the software has always had the ability to run multiple threads in parallel, so we immediately get benefit from this capability. However, optimizing the software, particularly as you move up into large numbers of cores, as you move to 4, 8, 16, 32, that requires architectural changes, it requires understanding where the bottlenecks are, it requires changes in the tools and the performance analysis that gets done. If we're going to keep those cores working for the user and not just sitting idle, it requires actually some very, very innovative work. And this is very necessary, because the raw cost performance that we're going to see changing over the next four or five years won't be the rate of the past, it will only be a doubling, or at most a tripling it appears. Therefore, a lot of the performance gains will come from activating those additional cores and making sure we have the right parallelism.

This has been a huge focus of our research activity, thinking through the tools, high level expressions, but it has an impact on all of us here, the drivers, the way we think about the way that the hardware and software are coming together."

Hey if you find or know of a board that will support Kentsfield i would love to know, i am dying to drop the one i have in a rig and take it for a spin, so if any of you guys know for sure what boards will support Kentsfield, by all means let me know, i would love to go from my 965XE straight to quad core.

Actually, I'm really excited about the quad-core era. I think I'm going to hold off on Conroe for now and invest in a Merom notebook to play with...

Although I am torn between splashing out on an X6800 or waiting for the Kentsfield and then splashing out on that... either way, I end up in a financial gutter for a while (but oh, the computing bliss...)

I think so, wasn't it true that INtel had no plans to revamp the 975i chipset for a good while -> Kentsfield will work on the chipset as it will be in the market long before the new chipset is released (1075i ?!)

Can be either.

When a programmer is assigned the task to make a former single-threaded application multi-threaded for the purpose of increasing performance on SMP machine (and a poor soul he is), then there are two ways to do so:
- Find something for the other CPUs to do "on the side", while one CPU execute the main program controlling the fate of the application. This means you find some isolated piece of code that can run besides your main program flow and that you can do on the side.
- Rewrite single pieces of code so that you can split them up into things that can run in parallel, all doing the same thing just on different small chunks of one big chunk of data.
The former is much easier to do but it usually scales pretty badly to more thn 2 CPUs, usually you have difficulty even making use of 2 CPUs.

But while the latter is much more rewarding on multi-CPu machines it is not only harder to - it is also very error-prone and it can decrease performance when you actually only have 1 CPU at this time.

From what I have seen most recently threaded games and Windoze apps are of the former kind, not surprisingly.

well i guess this means new conroe rig with E6600 this year, and ill swap E6600 with Kentsfield next year, they better have it b4 April

Who waits these days anyhow? We're all "early adopters"...it's ridiculous. :cool:

what's the cpu code ? conroe = E6XXX kentsfield = ?

someone had already ran on 965, test fine, cpuz and mobo bios can't recognize,

kentsfield is 8m l2,but cpuz just show 4m;)

Who? :D

Taiwan or China? Interesting:)

Well as soon as i get my board in, i will try and do some Kentsfield runs for you guys, hopefully it will drop right in and work, otherwise might have to get my hands on a diff bios. I'll post back when i get the board.

I was asking who you are in terms of who you are here. Just a new guy with serious connections? A friend of some of the other guys here (if so who)? Or just some newbie trying to be funny? ;)

I asking honestly too, out of curiousity, not trying to be a :banana::banana::banana::banana: or anything.
