Dual channel with the new nF4 board don't hurt eitherOriginally posted by: Markfw900
More cache, and possibly core enhancements.

anybody know how fast the athlon 64 line will get up to on 90 nm. i've seen estimates of only 3.2-3.3 on air, but the 130 nm ones were only esimated to get to 2.2-2.4, and many of the fx 55's will probably be able to do 2.8 or more on air. it would be nice to see amd clock up as high as intel,![]()

You have a penchant for stating the obvious, but since you didn't include it in your first post I added itOriginally posted by: Markfw900

All 939 boards are dual channel. And with NF4, even if it supports 754, a 754 chip IS single channel, as the controller is on-chip.

how do amd cpus keep getting faster
While still running at only 2.4ghz???

I seriously think AMD will probably reach 4GHz on 90nm. They are taking their time getting there though, milking the lower speeds for all they're worth.

i dont think amd is going to reach 4ghz(stock), they are going to be using multi cores before they ever reach 4ghz![]()

Dual core will be in about 9 months.
4GHz is probably about 18 months away IMHO. So yes, they will have dual core first. And those dual cores will make it up to 4GHz I think.

Just one question: Do you think Intel could make a 4GHz part on 90nm?

I believe the REAL question is:
How do Intel P4 processors do so little while running at 3.6 GHz???
In the days of the PIII vs. Athlon, Athlons were slightly faster than PIIIs per clock. Not much though, things were pretty close to AMD MHz = Intel MHz....
...Because of this I feel you have to ask why Intel P4 processors do so little at such a high MHz rather than asking why AMD processors do so much at such a low MHz.
Since they canceled the 4ghz it is evident they will be leaving mhz=speed behind for awhile tooOriginally posted by: masshass81

I think Intel only cares about acheiving high frequencies since the majority of people equate speed with higher Mhz..
For example (I'm sure we all see this), I'll browse the laptops at Best Buy and people are always looking at the 1Ghz-1.5Ghz Mobiles and say 'Wow that is so slow I bet, why don't can't they at least be 2Ghz like the Pentium 4s" or "Yeah, this Athlon system is cheaper than the Pentium 2.6Ghz because its only 2.0Ghz"
IMO, overall, Intel has the advantage because of their higher frequencies - even if they don't perform nearly as well as lower clocked cpus with more efficient architechture.

Dual core in 9 months?
Will dual core be socket 939? Is a dual core going to run on, say an, nforce4?
