Interesting...

[Knight]

The center looks like a picture of a Core 2 Quad.

Nice to see some real pictures of this beast.

yay for 1st pic of intels death to overclocking and servers (or atleast bad quarters)

As a Moderator here at XS I have to tell you that Pr0n is not allowed!

[Ashraf]

So, we will have two different motherboards LGA1160 and LGA1366 for the same Nehalem-based chips?

Noice...
Looks like they are saving room for the octocore.

No.
As I understand it, it will be one socket for server/enthusiast and one for desktop, IMC and no IMC respectively.

[JAG87]

wow baby that is a lot of PINS. oh mama

[werty316]

now that looks quite sweet.

I know what I'll be upgrading too.

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

As I understand it, it will be one socket for server/enthusiast and one for desktop, IMC and no IMC respectively.

I thought: (?)
LGA1160 for mainstream desktop (dual channel DDR3)
LGA1366 for high end desktop (triple channel DDR3)
LGA1567 for MP server (Quad channel FB-DIMM)

Looks sexy! Can't wait!

If this come true, looks like xmas is going to be fun for a lot of us.


wait.... neha has less cache then yorkie?

[MpG]

wait.... neha has less cache then yorkie?

I'd guess that three channel DDR3 and QPI will make the cache size less important.

probably to save money and improve yields since this a monolithic quad core. also, don't forget the k8 cache situation, imc reduces the impact that more cache has. plus, its probably going to be tweaked as well.

8MB on 1 die vs 6MB on 1 die.. hellllllo

6+6 = 12 is like cheat

[zanzabar]

nehalem is a stacked duel core with hyper transport 8MB will mean 4+4 or 8+8


i dont like the imc its bad for amd and its going to be bad for intel we dont need the added heat to the cpu when the cpu puts out more watts, and it kills memory advancements we will be with 1600-1800mhz ddr2 for a while (maybe some 2ghz but no real innovation)

[g1raffe]

So there will be Naahelm's for more than one socket?

[bot@xs]

can someone shed some light for me regarding the 2 and 3 ch ddr3 setup?

1. why is the 2 ch coming out later, seems to me that would be the lower
performing one.

2. i take it the 2 ch does not relate to dual channel and 3 ch to triple
channel, if so why ddr3 dual channel, wasen't the hole point of goin to ddr3
to get an additional channel besides the change of memory access pattern?

thanks

btw, i wish they were here next week. a whole year of waiting

[adamsleath]

i heared bloomfield first, which supposedly is the most expensive platform with tylersburg chipset / QPI and triple channel ddr3

Lynnfield (performance/desktop) and Havendale (integrated graphics core) later with dual channel ddr3 and ibexpeak PCH.

but as to what when where etc it could all be subject to changes prior to actual release....who knows?

and i also thought all 3 had integrated mem. controllers

also heard rumours that there will be a dual core nehalem; a 775 nehalem; with and or without imc... and a variant to support ddr2 aswell; and a kitchen sink codenamed nehalem also




...but it's a pic. of a chip up there for sure.

[schnulli]

thx for the new information

[LordEC911]

and i also thought all 3 had integrated mem. controllers

IMC is supposedly only for server and enthusiast chips.
