Im not in till late, was going to post last night but I was quite tired. Check back in a day or so, may try and lower it and take a pic.

Going to bring it down to defualt when I get home, then try with my FX at a decent overclock.

super PI stable, crashed after 2 hours prime95, haven?t tried the blend test yet. Update with pics when I?m home. Needed a 1.5V core, using XP120 temps. 47 idle, 59 load.

Dipping your toe in the river, rather then jumping in not knowing what waits. Its very touch and go.

As far as I know Northwood on .13 process cost around $25 to make. I cant tell what it costs for or rather what it did cost to make a sledgehammer on .13 micron process, but back in the old days, when Intel was puming out the old slot one PII there would cost about $60 per CPU. So cost is down...

Our competition says MHz doesn?t matter. Do you think they really feel that way? ? - Intel's George Alfs Ahem :)

I wont say much, however 3 Ghz Opterons are slated for Q1 2006. Yeilds take time and tweaks, just give them time for you overclockers out there.

The work of the Branch Prediction unit in Intel processors with NetBurst architecture is based on the work with Branch target Buffer (BTB). It is a 4KB buffer storing the statistics about the already complete branching. In other words, Intel?s branch prediction is based on a probabilistic model...

Its been a month at least since they were starting to be "shipped". Vendors are (im guessing) being told to wait for the date that AMD indecates. You have to give them (vendors) time to test (alot of thats done before they get sent out too) etc.

Sorry ( Had to retract what I was going to post)

Cedar mill appears to be single core. http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2005/03/15/intel_cedar_mill_power/

My understanding is that they are both dual core. Presler from what I?m reading and being told is a decedent of Smithfield (i.e still based on netburst), that would explain the 130W TDP. Cedar Mill on the other hand is two Pentium M?s( I could be wrong). I think Intel has also used this code...

Shame on Intel

Embedded capacitors and resistors have great potentials for high frequency, high density

Take it from me, now is a better time to buy stock.
