Nehalem-EP......BLOOMFIELD

[Scog]

The bus speed looks good, I assume they left the multi at stock to show how high the reference could go.
3.6 GHz on $300 i7 920? Yes please!
I think I will build a Nehalem box around the beginning of next year, should be a rendering beast!

[dan7777]

when is this available ? and how much is it guna cost around ? looking forward to the upgrade i will probably do it next year saving now

[Blauhung]

Again, interesting ... if D is launch stepping and C is showing these kind of numbers.... hmmmmmm.

I would guess that C will be launch and D will be some minor change that we will see come out later.

Core i7 965 XE Unboxed, Stock Cooler and Processor Exposed


Intel would be rolling out an elite fleet of desktop processors based on the new Nehalem architecture soon. The first derivative, the Bloomfield core, is supposed to be the architecture's flagship for the desktop PC market. And for it, Core i7 Extreme 965 is supposed to be the leading processor. Priced at US $999, the processor is clocked at 3.20 GHz and features four cores and eight logical processors thanks to HyperThreading Technology (encore). Details of it are covered here.

Mobile101, unboxed the i7 965 before launch. The contents show a massive stock cooler and the processor itself. The stock cooler is composed of the same fins projecting radially, just that they are much thinner, and more in number (to boost surface area of dissipation). The cooler uses 50% of fins made of copper and the rest 50% made of aluminum. The large CPU contact base is made of copper and pre-applied TIM. The box pictured is the "white-box" part, expect the retail box to be of that exact size.

When can we expect an NDA lift on the date that the release date will be announced? (which is NDA)



The "lift" on the first Penryn (QX9650) was around October 28, 2007 while the release date was November 12, 2007. Does that mean we can expect info on Nehalem's release to be in mid-October?

The NDA lift date is under NDA!

This may be the case .... having tracked this for many many years, typical launch steppings are in the B or C arena with occasional D steppings.... considering the radical departure of the architecture (i.e. IMC, QPI), it would not surprise me if Intel made a few extra spins to debug and we see D ... who knows, we will know when we know or when the NDA lifts, which is according to Dr. Who? still under NDA

Around the 3rd of november

*hopes*

reason behind November 3rd is...?

[Scog]

I think we will find out after November 3rd

Halloween surprise!LOL! Wouldn't be the first time.

[Slovnaft]

Ooh, OOh, late birthday present for meee?!!

[AuDioFreaK39]

yay! finally some leaked specs!

http://diy.pconline.com.cn/cpu/revie...426985_10.html





confirmed: 133MHz QPI bus speed and 22x multi for Core i7 940?









I don't work for Intel, so no one can take me away in a black van for this.

Looks like they pulled the graphics ... you didn't happen to save a copy to repost .. did ya?

HOLY

Look at those BW numbers. At those latencies. The FAST cache. A mem controller able to do DDR3-2100.

...

[Morais]

Awesome performance on memory benchmark indeed

[Charles Wirth]

You guys are yet to see "real" numbers.

[JPQY]

Yes,like you can see test results on Benchmark forum!!

i just wanna know good the i920 non ES will oc, otherwise its a q9550 for me

Pretty much that's how I'm leaning.

[Drwho?]

You guys are yet to see "real" numbers.

You guys are yet to see the "final" tuning.

"
nehalems overclocks automatically, even to 3.4 ghz or more, so the inflated benchmarks corresponds to overclocked processors and that explains the 130 tdp, even for the 2.6ghz processor.

i think this is not good for (dirty) intel. using overclocking to improve results."

I`d like to ask for whole mounting socket dimension.. same guys are talking about 80x80mm but few other are talking abou 113x113... which is the true, jejeeje no body want to answer me..
