Intel "Northwood" spotted!!!

<< is that .13? >>
Yes. The Northwood is the first CPU built on the .13 process. That's sweet. I'm an AMD guy for now but that's still pretty cool.
What mobo is that?
That's a good question, because all the current P4 owners will have to start looking for that new mobo to upgrade.

That HSF looks pretty big though. Even with 0.13u it's still going to be pumping out a lot of heat at 2GHz+.
The heatsink doesn't look that big to me, plus it has the low-cfm intel retail sanyo-denki fan on it. It is wide, but that's to take advantage of the mounting method.... ANd it certainly isn't that tall.

Looks like PS will be compatible with P4. Look at the first pic. Damn, looks like we'll have to upgrade PS...
Hell I run my P4 1700 with a 275 watt PS from PCpowercooling useing an adapter for the cpu power plug that I also got from them but they not cheap on there products but you get what you pay for,BTW mine will run with out the 4 prong plug adapter,so no big deal as power goes,the power supply will work just fine with the new chip.

Actually, Cyrix has a .13 micron cpu called Joshua.
I wouldn't mind having one of these processors, coupled with a stable Intel chipset and DDR SDRAM at, say, 200 MHz (400 effectively, matching the FSB speed). Too bad we have to wait until at least January.
Whats the point, SDRAM is going to choke that P4 down to 1GHz Athlon speeds and it will cost significantly more than a 1GHz Athlon.

Ummm, what's the big deal (it's not like it's new news
)...this size/form-factor (Socket478) was "spotted" last week in Anand's article:
http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1481&p=2
It was actually "spotted" even earlier than that here:
http://www.anandtech.com/shownews.html?i=13333&t=w
And as stated in Anand's article, it is most likely not the Northwood. It's just a Socket 478 Willamette...but WingnutPEZ could probably clear that up for us.

Uhh... Bear my lack of knowledge on this, but what's the diff btw the Northwood and the Tualatin?
