Intel's 64 Bit Cpu


Recommended Posts

Arcording to PC Authority Magazine intel has come up with a 64 bit Xeon! code name: Nocona. WOW i can't wait to get on of these!!! Because its a prescott it has a 1MB L2 Cache but runs rather hot

 

Whats you thoughts on another 64-Bit beast?

hold on guys, before you go bashing this chip you should "try" one!

 

I have used these things. and I have to say a pair of 3.6ghz em64t xeons CRUSHES my wife's dual 2.66ghz xeon, and holds it's own with my quad 3.2gzh xeon rig.

 

now a dual opteron 250 dual core is supposed to be even faster... but I'll let you know how true that is when my chips get here (2 xeons and 2 opterons) either tomorrow or monday.

i think intels next line of cpus will be out around christmas time to march of next year.. at speeds of

 

3.6 (intro-end)

3.8 (middle-end)

4.0-4.2 (high-end)

 

all with 1 mb lvl 2 cache, and i think the 4.0-4.2 will have 2MB lvl 2 cache

 

dont take my word as law.. but i believe Falcon NW got a 3.8ghz from intel, to sell in there exotix machine (top of there line machine).. which they overclocked to 4.2 with w/c

 

so i think those figures are atleast the bare minimum that intel will ship.. prolly faster

the new P4'F' as it's being called is 90% prescott 10% athlon 64 if you really stop and look at it. they added the 64 bit extensions to it.

 

3.2 is the intro speed due out before christmas. and no 2mb l2 is on the road map anytime soon. at 3.73 they'll move it to the supposed 1066 frontside bus (divide by 4 for the real fsb as usual) and call it the new Extreme... which means they'll be nothing more than hand picked cores capable of higher bus speeds... big f'n deal there, just oc a regular chip. the Xeon however already shipped, but is not ready with the 2mb L2 yet. plans for 2 and 4 mb cache em64t xeons are in the works already :D

I think it's great that intel is lookign 64 bit, but really can they come back when teh A64 already has a hold on the high end market? high end not the extreme lol, you crazy pll out there with quad processor rigs (thats one for captain overkill himself :)) wont really see it that way but look at all the 64 chips that have shown up here in OCC AMD surelly has a jump on the market. And let us not forget, an AMD 64 3000+ can be had for jsut $164 at newegg. where as on the intel side....he current 3.0e prescott is $179. Lets see ultra speed for less or a PC that doubles as a toaster oven to more money........Looks like ill be going AMD as i get rid of these cheap systems that i can afford at the moment.
