Interesting bits of information...

So DDR-II will be present? DDR533 highly suggests a 1066Mhz FSB anyway...

I do hope Intel goes all the way. And I also hope that at some point, Intel too will go 64 bit on desktops.

Also, it's interesting to see that Tejas will be around as soon as 2nd half of 2004...

markgun · Jul 2, 2003

Ah, I hate these spurts of information! They make me want to put-off upgrading forever.

HardWareBoss · Jul 2, 2003

Wow Tejas was due sometime in 2005. Now 2nd half 2004. What happened to Prescott?

HardWareBoss · Jul 2, 2003

I know what you mean. I'm buying 2.4c soon!!!. Going with Prescott in 2004 say next July. Now that Tejas is jumping the gun 6+ months early. Why buy Prescott?

markgun · Jul 2, 2003

You have a pretty good upgrade path picked out though! The 2.4C has a really good price/performance/oc-ability factor. And you can just pop a Prescott in there in a year (hopefully the Socket 478 Prescott will come down a lot in price by then too). Then you can drool over the Tejas reviews after you have your Prescott hehe.

knewt · Jul 2, 2003

Why buy Prescott?

If it's due out in 2H 2004, that most likely means Q4. Unless you're a real enthusiast you will probably want to wait for the price to come down a little before upgrading. Figure 3 to 6 months. That puts your realistic upgrade time in Q1 or Q2 2005. Do you really want to still be using your 2.4C until then?

Listen to me now and forget me tomorrow

A couple of thoughts.

Im anxious to see how the LGA socket is going to work, how do you clamp down the CPU and maintain full interfacing area for the heatsink, i dont see it.

Also 0.6 micron woah that is seriously small i hadnt read anywhere that they were even thinking of shrinking again, they are just now going to 0.9 micron for pete sakes, and already they are gonna shrink it again?

Intel is making some serious advances as of late, i wonder if they recovered some alien technology and are exploiting it or something HAHA

XeeN

Mephistopheles · Jul 2, 2003

recovered some alien technology and are exploiting it

Yes... that must be it. And they not only have 64-bit disabled tech, but also a 128-bit mode and a turbo floating point unit at double speed... :evil:

Mephistopheles · Jul 3, 2003

Um... I have a question here!

...I read it somewhere that Tejas was supposed to be a 1200Mhz FSB part. OK, so it appears they won't do that. But here's my question: how was 1200Mhz a possibility at all? There's no memory that works synch with a 1200Mhz FSB! If you go DDR533, you'll get the 1066Mhz FSB (which'll probably be the case!); if you go with DDR667 (which might happen next year or 2005, who knows), you'll get a 1333Mhz FSB... (1066Mhz->8.5GB/s; 1333Mhz->10.7GB/s)

Were they really considering the only alternative I can think of which yields 9.6GB/s (1200Mhz): quad-channel PC1066 RDRAM?... As in SiS659's chip?...

HardWareBoss · Jul 3, 2003

I read the same thing. Tejas was to have 1.2 Megs FSB in 2005. Prescott 800 MHz to 1066MHz.

HardWareBoss · Jul 3, 2003

Intel going to 90nm with Prescott. Than 65nm. After that maybe 2007 or sooner 45nm. Thats the last I've seen. Nothing on 30nm yet. Maybe 2010.

pIII_Man · Jul 3, 2003

recoil...i think you mean .06 and .09...a .9 chip would be HUGE considering the pII's use .25micron technology...

xeenrecoil · Jul 3, 2003

heya pIII_Man

yes i did, thanks for pointing that out...although no point in changing it now...hehe

Personaly will very surprise to see TEJAS before 2005 1H if not 2H.

I dont like french test

slvr_phoenix · Jul 3, 2003

The real question is what nicknames will we be giving these products?

Willy = Willamette
Wilty = Willamette Celeron
Northy/Woody = Northwood

So what will the new products be?
I vote for:
Nutty = Northwood Celeron
Prezzy = Prescott
Prissy = Prescott Celeron
Tejy = Tejas
Tetchy = Tejas Celeron

Mephistopheles · Jul 3, 2003

Ow, that's a hard one...

None of those names will beat "Willie/Willy" anyway... Willie is just way too "cutie"...

Oh, I've got a good one!!! What about "Scotty" for the Prescott? That actually sounds nice!!!

slvr_phoenix · Jul 3, 2003

Hey, that is a good one! I like Scotty.

That make me think about Star Treek.

It must be faster to write a nickname is need a abriviation is also need.(PSTT) prescott (TAS) Tejas.

I dont like french test

Mephistopheles · Jul 3, 2003

Yeah... so now we've got Willy, Woody, Scotty, and... Tejas should be... Hm... wait... Tejjy? Teggy? ...

How about Jazzy, as in Tejaz or Tejazzy? I can't come up with anything better than that!... Or maybe Tazzy? or Tezzy? better than Tejjy!...

Mephistopheles · Jul 3, 2003

That made me think about Star Treek

Absolutely. Why not?...

Intel Engineer: Now we'll ramp up to 6Ghz. Give me 6Ghz NOW, Scotty!
Prescott/Scotty: But, Captain, "the engines cannae' take it any more! I'm givin' you all (she's) got!"
Intel Engineer: Warp 6, Scotty! Er, I mean, Ghz 6! No, no, 6Ghz NOW! Engage!

and so on...

slvr_phoenix · Jul 3, 2003

Yeah, Tejas is kind of a hard one because it's so short. 🙁 Intel should know better than to name a core something so short. Mean people at Intel.

Seriously though, I'm pretty open to ideas for Tejas proper.

Jazzy might do. At least we have time to think on it as it won't be out for a while.

I am pretty partial to Tetchy though for the Tejas Celeron.

It reminds me of Red Dwarf. :O

Kryton: Now you know what happens when you call me tetchy...
Lister: Tetchy. Tetchy. Tetchy!

I love that show.

shadus · Jul 3, 2003

Reddwarf rules!

I just picked up season 1 & 2 on dvd... Kryton makes an appearance but isn't really part of the series yet at that point... cant wait to get the rest of the series... that's definetly one to own.

What about just "Tay". That's 50% less syllables.

And then there's that nForce3 Opteron board just below. . .

I'll just have to take one of everything I see.
