Considering the resources available to Intel I'm surprised they haven't decided to debut Nehalem with an eight core CPU considering it's something AMD has planned. I think I read they [AMD] have a 12 core processor planned too.

I'm sure that was originally 6/12 cores...

So far I'm liking the current technology presented in the Nehalem,and hope AMD puts up something people actually want. 🙁
 
Sounds like exciting stuff comming down the pipe :)
I don't want to sound like an Intel faboy (I would cheer for AMD too if they also where making something like this, and maybe they will soon)

12 threads per chip sounds like a good thing for a server.

The same people who need Quad SLI in their desktops. :)
 
Now if they can only produce something similar to AMD's HyperTransport, but better (much lower latency, much higher throughput). Those core aren't gonna feed themselves, ya know 😉
 
It's all talk. Marketing hype. And $ee the mob be lead by the no$e. Spintel marketing. Show me an UNBIASED test report. Don't believe anything - prove it to yourself - find out HOW they BIAS test reports using $elected app$ and condition$ (?) - and biased review $ite$ - like hahanand.
Apps bias-compiled for spintel?
 
Im pretty excite for Nehalem, it almost sounds to good to be true.. Im gunna sell my current rig now and get myself a new system when it arrives.
 
So that which has long ago debuted with AMD Athlon 64 dual core a few years ago - is now an INNOVATION? That's very creative - once again, my intelligence is insulted by total spintel bs hype.

I have yet to see anything of real interest here - just hype talk, and people led down the path, and eager for more. I guess spintel is still tweaking the bubblegum? Or tweaking the crowd. Chew it up people. I prefer truth. Put it out there. Does it work?
 
[citation][nom]eklipz330[/nom]anywhere to watch this IDF live or something? [/citation]

Goto www.intel.com/idf they have the keynotes.

It's called QPI its faster and wider than HT 3.0 spec and it has more links with shorter hopps.

Yet Intel processors work better..AMD's original hyper-transport is nothing better than a regular FSB.
 
Wow, It looks like Intel figured out a way to glue 3 Core 2 Duo's together.
AMD should have figured out the quick way to make a Quad or 6 core just by gluing 2 X2's or 3 X2 processors together but instead they designed it so that each core was a individual core which resulted in a B2 stepping bug and their upcoming 8 core processor will problem have a B4 stepping bug in it also.
But to be honest, I really like AMD because they build a processor from the ground up unlike Intel does.

That's a bit thick. Hypertransport is better than FSB in many ways and that's why quickpath is to replace FSB, it's the processors that aren't keeping up.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I don't think you got what I mean.Obviously noone here has a wit to understand this thing we call,English,but I guess they abandoned that at schools.SO let me reword it.A simple little bus will NOT replace a crappy processor.You must first get a GOOD processor,THEN worry about bottlenecks that will affect it in 2-6 years.
 
I'm not sure who to criticize on the quote that the IBM X3950 M2 with 48 cores is the first computer to break the 1 million TPC-C benchmark, but that was first acomplished way back on 4/14/2004. The current record holder is an IBM Power 595 Server Model 9119-FHA with a TPC-C result of 6,085,166. Check the facts guys!
 
Man I'm an amd fanboy but since I bought a new laptop i went with c2d and I guess next year when I get a new desktop it will be nehalem. I really do feel bad for leaving amd but I need speed for converting hd videos.
