Intel's 45nm chips coming next year

[apache_lives]

ah so there the final specs?

 

[endyen]

Those Amd TDPs are only for 90 nano chips. No firm numbers yet for 65 nano parts.
I would also like to see netburst on 45 nanos, though mainly because of the SOI.
10G is probably a pipedream, but 5g would be a cakewalk. Maybe even 6.
Still, I would rather see it on Northwood than scotty, and a much faster fsb would be the way to go (true 400, would be increadable, but 333 might be more realistic)

prescotts do 7.12ghz, dunno bout 65nm's tho but i think 45nm might do 10ghz - its half the prescott.

Yeah AMDs thermal specs are impresive for 90nm, just in a memory controller (or lower vcore for controller) change - 65nm should show some even more impressive results, but the big question is could it be enough to take on a dothan or yonah (both single and dual core) and later conroe and merom (if they turn out alright)?

AMD (or better said IBM) will be increasing clock speeds rather than decrease power consumption.
Opterons are to reach 3.4 GHz, not quite the power-saving approach?

What are you trying to say?

Intel P4 based desktop CPUs and Xeon Server CPUs consume about 40+% more power than comparable AMD CPUs.

An Opteron @95W is AWESOME.

At a 3.4GHz core clock an Opteron can beat a P4 running at over 4.6GHz

95W will be far from being competitive after Woodcrest has been launched. For now its good but it wont be good in 3 months time.

uhh dude look at the opty 150 when it first luanched it was at 89w and now it goes down to 67w thats just from 130 to 90 nm what about 65 nm maybe it would be at least in 40s or 30s

yeah woodcrest aparently will have the 95w thermal specs (max heat for the whole range) and thats for speeds exceeding 2.66ghz i believe.

Also by the time AMD also has 65nm Intel will have 45nm and quad core, and by the time AMD does quad core intel will prolly be doing 8core with CSI and IMC's.

ya and by the time ppl realize amd is bigger and better intel will go bankrupt

Bigger and Better? Pentium M's make A64's look like prescotts (equal efficency, 1/2 the thermal/power), Intel went a bit offtrack with P4 in the end but they will (alreadt have) turn around with better chips.

Besides, Intels having fun selling cheap dual cores cause AMD cant sell em cheap cause they will loose too much money, its a dirty market scheme but it works and they overclock to make an alright cpu.

Intels where AMD was with the AthlonXP - leapfrog time.

geez dude cant i joke
