Socket 1160?

They said a new socket would be introduced for Nehalem with the IMC and the new transport bus

:slobber: :eek2:


Good GRAVY that's some impressive specs.

yup...

and its two in the roadmap because one of them is the desktop one and the other for servers....

skulltrail uses the server socket, so i bet the 1366 is the new server socket and is on that dsktop roadmap because skulltrail 2 (or whatever they will call nehalem version of it) will use server socket aswell.

and then the 1160 as the regular desktop socket.

Is bearlake-x the x38 and x48 motherboards? So if they use different sockets for the high end and mainstream, they can price discriminate much better.

ATM you can use pretty much any lga 775 chip in an x38 board. If they differentiate sockets, that cant be done in the future with the high end motherboard.

just looks like a penryn with IMC and less cache plus a pci-e controller, doesnt look that spectacular if you ask me, it will be good cpu, thats for sure, but not such a big step forward as conroe was over prescott.
Looks good.
desktop platform only in 2009, i was expecting that one
Q2 for fusion like thing,sounds plausible.

Looks good:D

Ohh I like...30% less power than Penryn on the same process for the same performance. Thats pretty kickass when looking on Penryns already very very low usage.

Some promising claims.

one thing stood out for me there is the native displayport/ HDMI compatibility

looks to me like a very powerful, low noise, low power media pci would bet they underclock really well also

i may buy the cheapest one on release :-)

whats the estimate on these?

I surely hope no one puts the 2x12 plug where the reference board design has it :rolleyes:

QFT

and move the cpu socket a bit towards the backpanel to increase the spacing between cpu cooler and ram slots...

well, atleast they will kill the ancient ide and floppy connectors

Need we say any more? They make it LOOK official but in the end, it is the same old HKEPC with a new slogan. ;)

You are forgetting that each core can now run two threads. That's a significant step in and of itself.

awesome looking forward to the future of cpu's :)

Don't you mean Timna like feature since that's where AMD got the idea for Fusion from LOL!:rofl: :ROTF:

I hope so!

130w for bloomfield? .... ready the LN2 for home use

Yay for the return of HyperThreading. Oh how I have missed thee :yepp: Otherwise Nehalem looks decent, I just hope DDR3 prices continue to drop otherwise it'll be a rough adoption.

yeah not impressive at all :D
10-25% single threaded improvement over the best existing x86 CPU out there and 20-100% for multi threaded software.
It's not a new conroe, at least for desktop, but server...

Which one, that one most AMD users with slight overclocks are using now LOL!?

the one on the processor family sheet.

lets not turn this into an amd bashing thread ;)

As DDR3 becomes mainstream, the prices will drop. Look at where DDR2 started not that long ago? Intel will put up the Seed money just as they alone did for DDR2.
