Is the new Canterwood Same as Northwood?

[OverVolt]

The Canterwood everyone is talking about, with 800 fsb. Is it just a Northwood on 200Mhz fsb or is it a totally different cpu core. Or is it just with added cache that Northwoods thirst for. Just clearing some things up

I think the canterwood is a motherbaord chipset...The prescott is the code name I belive for the 800mhz fsb cpus after the northwood...

Also I though rumor had it they should also be powered with HT2 and 1mb of cache instead of 512kb...

if that 1mb cache does what the 512k did for Northwood ~ its gonna scream 😀

Duvie's right
Canterwood is a mobo chipset while Northwood is a CPU core
canterwood should have dual-channel DDR 400, ICH5(with Serial ATA intergrated into it) and a improved memory controller

I heard that ICH5 isn't even going to have standard IDE it's gonna be strictly serial.

Wasn't ICH5 going to be the first south bridge to use PCI Express?

nah, i don't think so
Serial ATA is a standard designed to replace the ageing PATA standard
it is also backwards compatitable to PATA

Nah it was just a joke muhahahhaha
