Yonah or Merom

[Warship]

It's been a while since Intel released Pentium M, and not much has happened since then. Some minor improvements and a doubled cache (Dothan).
From what I've read it seems that Yonah is just a dual P-M Banias with improved SSE and FPU and a 166mHz quadpumped bus.

Will you guys buy Yonah, or will you wait for Merom (4Mb L2)?

If Yonah fits in my CT-479 adapter Im on it!

If Yonah fits in my CT-479 adapter Im on it!

Is it coming out on socket 479 ?

[Warship]

I don't think it will. since Merom-cpus will fit in the same socket as Yonah (drop-in replacement from what I've heared), I think Yonah will have a totally new socket.

no it won't, it'll be 479

[Warship]

So Merom will be 479 aswell?

FUGGER, who in his position as Intel Developer usually has the latest info, talked about Socket 480 some time ago - that's good enough for me..

Heh maybe therel be a new adaptor. Lucky you guys, I'd love to see dothan like cpus on lga775.

[Qkjhfhaiguihfma]

i dont think that will happen, but i'm hoping too. the reason we saw a 479 to 478 adapter i think, was because the pin layout was more or less the same, but just in different positions. i.e. both architectures have 478 pins, just in different setups.

lga is another story.

[caater]

for some reason, they talked still about socket479 at IDF..
i think there is a very narrow chance that yonah will work with ct-479.
but IF it works, i'm getting yonah straight away

[d94]

i hear there'll be an adapter to 775..but my source isnt so solid so i cant back that up w/anything

cpu 1 of 2

It will come in many varieties including a ultra low voltage version for dual CPU use. It may come in 479 but I am not positive. I have not seen dual cpu 479

Motherboard makers are already building limited boards.

I so cant wait to unleash FB DIMM's on you guys.

[Warship]

From what I've heared Yonah is _not_ going to have EMT64, that's pretty weak IMHO. Merom looks more solid.

[NightWish]

Yonah isn t supposed to use a new chipset ?
Personnaly i heared about a new 945 chipset, 2 versions will be available (with or without vga inboard)

sorry for my english

How far away is FB-DIMM? A year? I know it's impressive, but I don't see it becoming mainstream for at least another full year. DDR2 is just beginning to catch on...

Well, Yonah will change it more than that, and if you didnt know; there will be single core versions as well

• Smart Cache (on dual cores)
• Up to 1000 times more leakage resistant transistors
• 65 nm
• 50%+ higher performance per watt (aprox. for each core)

I cant wait to see if those new improved transistors will make these the most overclockable cpus ever..

I dont buy new systems very often, but the Yonah or Merom may be a reason to do so. But ill decide that when I see how the Yonah overclock, if I dont get impressed ill just wait for Merom and compare the two.

FB-DIMMS looks like it will hardly be of any benefit to end consumers like us.. It's more a server and database thing, based on what I've heard.
