32nm technolgie

why does'nt intel make i7 in 32 nm technologie?

They will. IIRC, in Q4 2010.

 

[xaira]

they dont need to as yet

They do. Gulftown (i7-980X) is 32nm, and a bunch of Xeons: http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?codeName=33174

They do: i7 980X

lol, true that. I'm assuming OP meant mainstream i7s lol.

The i7-970 should be a "cheap" 6-core on 32nm. If you consider $500 "cheap" 😀..

Too bad Jenny got banned. Again. Otherwise she'd be here ripping holes in the OP for wanting to know anything about Intel .

I'm waiting for the 32 nm die shrink of the i7 quads. Until then, I'll just limp along with my OC'd C2Q's.

^ I'd agree. Too bad Intel didn't make the i7-930 a 32nm part. But I guess they want to keep those 45nm fabs busy still 😛..

The Clarkfield's GPU core is still 45nm so that's no excuse!

Where's my 32nm quad-core i7 Intel?

IIRC Intel won't achieve 32nm crossover until this summer, so yeah currently >50% of their product is still 45nm.

But, if Sandy Bridge is badged under the i7 moniker, then you'll have your 32nm quad by Q4 of this year or Q1 of next year 😛.

fazers,
That is a hilarious sig you got there. :lol:

LOL - yep, considering she forgot to specify which planet 😛. I'd bet on Pluto, except it's no longer considered a "planet"...

Think you meant "Clarkdale". Clarksfield is a mobile chip with no integrated graphics, and is fully 45nm. Not that you could possibly be confused by the two codenames... they're so dissimilar.

That's the puppy. A colleague asked me what difference between a Bloomfield and a Lynnfield was as I was typing - I guess "field" got stuck in my fingers!
