ES are often multi-unlocked, I wonder when we will hear what kind of frequencies these things can hit on air.
5500mhz ?

 

[podspi]

This batch is labeled QAX5, is a dual-core processor and packs 4MB of L3 cache memory. The 22nm based processor have a base frequency of 1800MHz that can turbo towards 2.4GHz and come with a TDP of 95W.

Except for the 22nm and the fact that it's only a dual-core, it sounds like BD ES

Sounds more like BS to me. Ya picture is worth a 1000 words

Intel's really sticking it to AMD with their Bulldozer delay. Revenge for that meh "ours work" AMD marketing from earlier in the year I would guess.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Firrst off . TDP wouldn't be known . Second on that 2 core chip voltage is set to high. By alot ES chip or not. Looks to me like someone got a picture from a person doing debugging. and added his own story line.

 

[podspi]

It's an ES. We have no idea what its operating characteristics are. And I bet they are more or less uncorrelated with the future performance of the retail parts, too

(Assuming they're early ES, which if the description is anything to go by, they would have to be).

Having working 22nm is awesome.

 

[Vesku]

Yeah, I wasn't referring to the extra info, just the picture. Impressive that they have their 22nm with fancy gates working well enough for ES sampling.

Go to utude they have 3 running . Server Desk Lap

The TDP on an Ivy dual core wont be anywhere near 95w.

 

[tweakboy]

The TDP on an Ivy dual core wont be anywhere near 95w.

So less then 95 or higher then 95 TDP

 

[GammaLaser]

So less then 95 or higher then 95 TDP

Less?

A 1.8/2.4 GHz dualcore sounds like a low end mobile chip, and it should have a TDP of 25W at the most, certainly not 95W.

I would worry if a dual core has a 95 watt tdp.

Unless its gonna be a powerhouse of a cpu with ht support.

why coulnd't the ES be running at 95W TDP? its an ES for god sake.
