d0w0rk24 Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 will the i5's be 32nm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 will the i5's be 32nm? No, i5 is Nehalem without QPI and with only two memory channels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConqueror Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Wait as in it uses dual channel, or as in it can only control 2 DIMMs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Wait as in it uses dual channel, or as in it can only control 2 DIMMs? 4 DIMMs, dual channel Back on topic, I don't see what the big deal is. Intel discontinued many processors before... and AMD too... and VIA... and... yeah you get the idea Edited May 31, 2009 by Zertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Threaded Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Intel is phasing out the old technology for something better. Happens all the time, same with the original C2Ds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtigerdragon Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah but in this case it isn't something better. They don't want to continue the 920's because they want the "enthusiasts" to spend more money. The 920 was a good price/performer, but now it will cut into they new processor's price range that isn't as good. Bottom line: AMD doesn't have a competitor for this line, so they can do whatever they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I heard that Intel said the i5's will not OC at all.. I have two responses and I can't choose between them, so I'll post both: 1) Heard from who? 2) And you believed them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtigerdragon Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I have two responses and I can't choose between them, so I'll post both: 1) Heard from who? 2) And you believed them? anandtech has an article showing them off here. It shows that performance wise they will stack up nicely with the 920, whihc is why intel wants to get rid of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Yea well, I heard Bosco is giving out free i5's to any member who's name ends with Kingfisher. We are all free to believe what we like! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
