3 eggs, apperently a space heater... WHY???????? 115 watts???? the 2500k is 95 watts


i thoughts intel was good SadFace...

Just what is a 'REFURBISHED' CPU?

They removed the thermal paste 😀

Haha that's good! I also wonder. Not like they are going to rip open the thermal package and re-tune the fabrication process.

by high wattage i though around 65 watts which is like twice the sb per-core wattage, not more then the i5

You still forget that that was also on 90nm process compared to 32nm process, which is almost 1/3rd of the process size.

I bet if they took that same CPU and shrunk it down to 32nm it would have a TDP of 38w, or about 1/3rd of its original TDP.

Intel found it under one of thier fab machines while installing the 3B upgrade, dusted it off.

actually going from the pentium 4 90nm transistors to 32nm should see far greater temp reduction. transistor size is squared so 90nm is actually 90nm x 90nm, just by going to 65nm you half the transistor size. This should half the power consumption at the same performance. So by going to 45nm you'd be at about 38w since its a 4th of 90nm size.

netburst has potentiol (misspelled), 22nm and a few fixes would be great but sb might still be better

You mean they stuck it under one of the legs to keep the machine level? 😀
