mm cheap and more often. hopeful, although doubtful of the q9300...thinking that 3.0GHz q9300 [400x7.5?wishful thinking???] > 3.2 GHz q6600; i dont have uber cooling.
i think i'd be happy with a q9300 at 3.2ishGHz...and running cool aswell.
pre nehalem.

I am sure JF is relaxed and smiling these days with there intended launch schedule. SNB Xeon servers on the other hand....

there yo go bringing intel into a amd thread again lol, if that was someone droping a dig at amd you would be crying like a girl.qft!
Same here! WOW, agreeing with everyone LOL!

...also might be tempted by q9450 if only for the huge amount of cache [12mb]...just have to waitnsee..teehee the next month or two gunna be raveings about wolfdales...wunda if i'll survive.

This CPU will really push the poor x86 architecture to the limit. Even x86_64 is just flirting with the law of diminishing returns.
Open-source to the rescue! Hopefully Microsoft will recognize its place and be mercifully beheaded by Google in the online advertising market.
Seeing how AMD has stated they are cutting down on R&D (which honestly I think is the worst possible move they could do right now), I don't think we'll be seeing nehalem for a while anyways. Hopefully after fuzion is launched (assuming amd is around to do so) both companies will start looking at new possible architectures, would be interesting to see how long it would take for the software guys to catch up if we do finally make the necessary switch
Well, 64bit will tide us over nicely for the next couple decades till quantum computers go mainstream.
But, x86 is growing to be a significant handicap.. I'm sure power consumption on P4 would have been a lot lower if it wasn't spending all that time sorting and translating x86.
Any chance Intel might revisit idea of moving consumers over to IA64 (ie Itanium)?
Oh and does anyone know Nehalem core specifics... ie detailed specint/specfp, actual IPC in single-threaded apps? I'm sure server/3Drendering folks will appreciate the 8 cores/16 threads, but it would be nice to know if there will be any benefit for the 95% of consumer apps/games that aren't multi-threaded.
IMHO, >2 cores for consumers is a waste of resources/money... I dont think mainstream is silly enough to catch onto move to 8 core/16thread.
EDIT:
Is anybody actually really excited about faster CPUs? What's the point?
Games are all GPU limited, and market is moving from PC to consoles. And even the slowest Wolfdale (2.66Ghz) blazes through everything consumer joe throws at it. At times like this Microsoft would usually come to the rescue with the next killer up, or some newer version of Office bloatware.... where is the next killer app? what is it?

Once 64 bit becomes mainstream, then I could see why Intel and AMD would ditch x86, but it will be a very long time until 64 bit becomes mainstream.

x64 is dependent on x86. x64 is like peeing your pants in a cold winterday. it was the easy and quick solution, and everyone loves compability. But it wont take us anywhere as such. We simply need something new instead of trying to keep on patching the old.

ppc isnt new.
nehalem spi 1m run.. don't know is it true.. but it's nice score

Now now, that is not what XS stands for!
I believe that A64 clocks RAM as well as it does just because it has those 900 bios options for the user to tamper with. I'm hoping Nehalem's platform will offer atleast 901 bios options to play with.
You were not supposed to see this.
Nothing has been released yet.

That's 2x the performance per clock of Conroe in SuperPI!!
And check the cache size : 64KB L1 and 8MB L2.That's what I wanted to see!!
hehe, the CPU-Z shot looks even less believable there then the other one that was posted, but I have no clue and B-0 is available.nehalem spi 1m run.. don't know is it true.. but it's nice score

I'm really hoping the cache sizes are true in this second photo ..that's all.

That does look convincing

But at the same time backward compatibility to existing equipment/software is extremely important, and vice versa the future upgrade path.
The same reason is the cause of dominating/monopolistic technologies such as Ethernet, IP, Windows, x86 and GSM.

fun stuff.
"The command and conquer model," said the EA CEO, "doesn't work. If you think you're going to buy a developer and put your name on the label... you're making a profound mistake."
Maybe I'm wrong, but if you check that cpu-z screenshot you will see:
FSB 444
Multiplier x6.0 (6-10)
Maybe that SPI score is at 4440MHz, because at idle SpeedStep is working.
But Nehalem does not use FSB so...
Friends shouldn't let friends use Windows 7 until Microsoft fixes Windows Explorer (link)
The CPU-Z on this shot looks very outdated (somewhere ver. 1.3x) and the verification of the SPI checksum says Incorrect checksum!.

such lofty goals
sry i get less excited the older i get :/really excited
it seems the games i like such as total war and simcity type things are cpu limited rather than graphics limited.
alan wake will utilise quad core so....i think i want one besides having more things open and all that jazz could be handy.
if they stop developing games for pc i'll cry :'(
