Intel's dual-core CPUs to set new record high in power consumption

[KamiXkaze]

I figure that it would get hot like that considering there track record.

I am not surprised AMDs will be so low....The sckt 939's and think lower speed chips initially are in the low 60-70's now....And since it has been said a few times that the current A64's with the Hypertransport technology has always been designed with dual cores in mind. I think that minmizes some of that as well..

I keep hearing just 2 prescott cores...That is too bad...

I believe Intel will defintily bring out the new closed loop sealed water cooling device they just recently devloped to cool one of these.

I am not done with Intel...i would still love a dual exon 2.4ghz oc'd to 3.4-3.6ghz with 4 virtual cpus....That would help my rendering times in CAD...opeterons would do, but cost too much, and I ca't oc them to get the bang for the buck....

Actually I just read that the dual-core's will not have HT enabled...


*Edit*

Yup here it is:

Anandtech CES coverage

"Task Manager shows the two cores in action, note that there is no Hyper Threading on Dual Core CPUs so there are only two physical CPUs listed"

Yeah I was talking about Xeons not dual cores....

I origimally thought or hoped INtel dula cores would be like Dothan cpus and then in that case with the much shorter staged pipeline the idle waits start diminishig and thus you take away the need or effectiveness of the HT anyways....

Ooho everytime I see MarkFW900's Dual Operton system I just wanna start crying because its so beautiful....gosh you should take more pics na post them~ the ones you had never really satisfied me...

"We did get a bit of information about AMD's dual core - the first Socket-939 dual core Athlon 64 processors will be priced at $700 when they are released later this year, so start saving up."
