Clockspeeds of Intel’s 45nm launch revealed

Clockspeeds of Intel’s 45nm launch revealed

According to the damen und herren at Au-Ja!, news has lazily filtered to the surface that motherboard vendors are currently testing 45nm samples for release products in 4Q07. Now, the goods:

* Wolfdale (Dual-Core) 2.33 GHz, 6 MByte L2-Cache, FSB1333, Multiplier=7
* Wolfdale (Dual-Core) 2.66 GHz, 6 MByte L2-Cache, FSB1333, Multiplier=8
* Yorkfield (Quad-Core) 2.33 GHz, 6 MByte L2-Cache, FSB1333, Multiplier=7

Additionally, it is reported that the EE-series is going to gain a 10*333 Yorkfield brother before year end. A 1GHz clock spread between the vanilla and EE-series chips is the first time Intel has ever truly distinguished the Extreme Edition line so strongly.

For those of you who are curious, Yorkfield is simply two Wolfdales in a package. Let the “Inelegant! INELEGANT!” FUD continue.

    airbornflght When can I expect an elegant quad core to be available?
  2. Thrax
    Thrax AMD: Fall.
    Intel: 2H08/1H09.

    But it's really pointless to want one.

    airbornflght What's pointless about wanting lower heat output and power consumption?
  4. Qeldroma
    Qeldroma elegant? as in stylish and graceful showing sophistication and good taste? I suppose you'll just have to tell us what you're looking for besides performance ... :D

    Odd. I thought the Yorks were going to have 12MB cache.

    airbornflght By elegant I don't mean two dies slapped into the same package. I want all cores in/on one die. reduces the amount of power needed thereby decreasing thermal output and leaves more overhead for over clocking.

    That is what I am waiting for as well for my next upgrade.

    edit - because of AF typo - I am a Dumba$$ and I have no Idea what I am talking about??? - what typo?! ;) !!!!
    edit#2 - sorry staff for defacement of news bulletin - got lost in the posting loop!

Howdy, Stranger!
