Intel's Response For Q3 '07: Yorkfield

[.sentinel]

Obviously you've never seen nor heard anything about SSE4.. I think I'll just let you remain ignorant and laugh at you

Also, if this chip is real, it will be on 45nm, smaller process than what Core 2 is on now, so it will consume less energy and have less leakage.

Are you bullting me?

[fhpchris]

OMG.... IT'S GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!


Let's reserve judgment until the product is on the market shall we?

Or when people @ XS get working engineering samples....

Really, how can I get editied by saying something ontopic, yet NN_step gets to post like 6 messages flame baiting other people?

I do not understand perky?

[Fred_Pohl]

Funny fact that most people miss is that K8 still beats Conroe in interger performance...

They probably miss that "fact" because it's pure fiction.

Remember guys, the enthusiast/performance market is relatively small. As long as AMD meets price point projections and continue to grow in the larger market segments (i.e., servers, mobile, OEMs, etc.) they'll be fine as a business.

[zabomb4163]

I'm wondering, what exactly are the advantages of reducing 90nm to 65nm and on to 45nm? Someone mentioned reduced power consumption.

http://www.intel.com/technology/sili...nm_silicon.htm

"More than 20 percent improvement in transistor switching speed or more than a five-fold reduction in transistor current leakage."

I think I'll just let you remain ignorant and laugh at you

No your not.....

Stop the pissing contest and get back to your daily routines

We'll see once ES samples hit Xs won't we? and NN almost always had a ES sample up till now so... or he could at least get one so lets just wait and find out instead of making this into a pissing contest

The original quote from VR-zone says 12MB L2 cache 2x6MB.

Should that not be 4x3MB for Yorkfield ?

I do like AMD's new naming convention for the series. It's easy to be underwhelmed by AMD bare figures as they tend to be smaller than Intels, but that does not mean it will not be competitive.

yes but because it is shared between two cores the said 2x6mb (or 3x2x2) the thing is that one core can get a max of 6mb if necesary from the cache

[kemo]

All the rumors about yorkfield doesn?t make any sense to me old road maps said it has two quad cores each sharing 6mb of cache now they are saying quad core with 6 X 2mb of cache I think it is better to wait and see official road map from Intel

Edit : penyrn is merom replacement (old road map)

K8L is obviously superior to Conroe if Intel needs Yorkfield to compete with it...with that in mind, K8L has always been a future product.

Vaporware only occurs when you have a product launched or announced but nowhere to buy it...calling this vaporware would be like calling ddr3 vaporware because it isn't here yet.

K8L = Future product
Yorkfield = Future product

Both companies are working on a better products, or should the company that has the best product at this time, stop working on future products until the other company has some better products?

I expected better from you...

Intel are releasing yorksfield as it will be cheaper to produce and consume less power, as well as give them a good deal of time to improve yields on the 45nm process. A 3.73 clock on 45nm is also very conservative considering you can get this on 65nm so I suspect the idea is to further reduce power consumption rather than ramp up clocks to beat amd's new design.

Whatever the whole amd vs intel pissing match will result in, the most presient bit of information for me is that intel will be moving to 45nm 9 months after amd get to 65nm. Amd is not catching up in process technology like we all thought.

[Sanborn]

I'm not really sure how people expect Altair with 4mb total of L2 thats 2.9Ghz at 65nm to compete with a product that has 3x the amount of cache...a Ghz faster (not that it matters anymore)....at a smaller size.

and question: how much will lets say...normal temps of a Core 2 Duo be lowered if it were a 45nm ?

K8L is obviously superior to Conroe if Intel needs Yorkfield to compete with it...

A regression fallacy, I'm afraid. And a premature one at that. All it would take is for Intel to think that the K8L or any future AMD product-line will be superior to Conroe, or that consumers will at some point in the future wish for something faster than the Conroe, for them to want to keep developing new technologies. I'd say that the probability of that is around 100%. Again, I think we'll have to wait for benchmarks before we can be certain.

[Mr.X]

Will Yorkfield need a new socket and/or chipset? I assume it will but i just want to make sure.

[uOpt]

They are going back to individual L2 caches?

Interesting...

why would you say that conroe is better than K8L

Just because its cheaper to produce doesnt mean its going to cost less.... Im pretty sure Intel uses binning, and im PRETTY sure that Intel also charges ALOT more than it cost to make. I know this, because they are still in business. I also know the same thing about AMD. We were up into the 1000 dollars for a processor, when Intel had a far crappier product than AMD, Intel was STILL selling those processors for 900-1000 dollars. Even tho, the AMD part @ 900-1000 dollars was a faster product.

Now that Intel has a faster processor, It no longer cost 1000 dollars for AMD top of the line processor. Its more like 700 dollars. I really cannot say the same thing about Intel. Intel will always sell thier top of the line processor at the top of the line prices. AMD tends not to do that. If AMD is on top they will, Of they are on the bottom they wont.

Another reason I buy AMD. I dont have to pay top of the line prices for .

it seems you don't grasp the idea of tiered pricing, and obviously you have not pay any attention to the numerous BIG price cuts Intel went through before C2D.

the price of the latest XE or FX edition is a extremely poor indicator of price/performance. its more a statuary tag.

EDIT: btw, i would cross fingers about a single die quad core yorksfield just to be safe.

I believe the point both of you are trying to make is that AMD and Intel will only keep prices low IF they don't have the absolute best on earth. As LONG as they are both competing performance will always be good and the Prices will always be low
