Do you guys think there's a big difference in overclockability between older and newer Winchesters? Some say so, which sounds possible, thinking that the 90 nm process have become better the last months.
The 35 W TDP for the fastest new model is not very impressive compared to todays model. They have doubled the cache and uses the E stepping, but that's about it AFAIK. Then we have the 25 W models but that's no big deal either, todays D stepping mobiles runs at 1.35 V/35 W so going back to 1.2 V...
Have anybody seen any mobo maker mentioning mobile CPU's except for the MSI K8NM?
Update info for latest BIOS (1.1):

- Support FSB to 450MHz.
- Fixed K8 MOBIL CPU ratio cannot adjust.

I still wonder if...
Yes that's right. They've been around for two months now. See my post here.
Good to see that it works!!
Renderman: How low can you go with the Vcore at stock speed?
...and then we have those who get 2800 MHz from a 3000+, 1.4 V and AMD cooler. 1000 MHz overclock on air and no extra Vcore, that's crazy! Probably not 100% stable though...
If you read the threads at xtremesystems it seems like they get much better overclock from the very latest CPUs made...
I think that everybody who believes in a dual core S939 are fooling themselves. 12 months after the first A64 release we had three different sockets. They're not exactly afraid of making new sockets!
Or put it this way: If you buy a mobo today you want to upgrade CPU within 12 months, because...
I'm asking you because I really don't know who else to ask.
Does anyone know what the new 35 W mobile 90 nm are called? I've found AMD3000BKX4LB but I'm really not sure what it is. 1.2 V should be the "Q", not "K", and what is "LB"?? If it's a revision D core then it should be "B(x)", like "BI"...
