Nehalem to become Core i7 processor
Thanx for the info. 
whats with "i"? wtf?
sick name
nice name intel know how market his product
^^^
Core 3 would have been alright. But why i7 ???

Nice going Intel. I've had enough of trouble trying to explain it to people what the differences between Core Duo, Intel Dual Core and all the others put together, and now this. i7.
Aren't you happy ? iAnything is always apple related right ?
Doesn't this mean the newer macs are surely going to be Nehalem i7 powered iMacs ?
Logos looks cool dunno abt the proccys
dunno abt the proccys
the nehalem previews are a MUST read by anybody. They have three versions currently, a 2.66GHz version, a 2.93GHz version and a 3.2GHz version. All Quad Cores.Logos looks cool
Native quad?
^^Yes it is native quad. Even the hexacore 32 nm Westmere will have native hexa-core design. But since nehalem can boast upto 8 cores, I dunno whether that will be native or composed of 2 discrete quads on same wafer. This piece of news states that supposedly only Bloomfield (45 nm QC) will see the light of the day at launch. I am still excited about the octa-core version (Beckton), which I guess will only be unveiled as a server side proccy... anyways, way to go Intel; this represents another significant processor-architecture based complete overhaul by Intel.

I guess it's more or less P7, but if they bring back P, then people will ask where did the P5 and P6 go after P4? I guess they branded them as Dual Core and Core2.
So, instead of the P, it's an 'i' I guess, more like Intel7... P1.....P2.....P3.....P4.....%#$.....^$%*.....i7

^^ good logic. .i think u're right.
Yup. Imagine running quad core on a mac. Only the rich mac pro owners have had the privilage of doing so. So congratulations, you are going to experience quad two years after everyone else, but at the same time, do it with STYLE.
What logic !!!I guess it's more or less P7, but if they bring back P, then people will ask where did the P5 and P6 go after P4? I guess they branded them as Dual Core and Core2.

i from the apple, 7 from windows 7, lol....
I rad somewhere it will be 4 cores and 4 virtual cores, as hyperthreaded stuff and all.

4 cores,8threads

logo looks damn kewl.i'm waiting for i7 to launch.
8 Cores , 32 Threads4 cores,8threads
intel i7 inside,bankrupt outside
Sun UltraSPARC T1 inside , bankrupt outside
WRONG.
UltraSPARC T1 could handle only ONE thread per core.
T2 can do TWO threads per core.
Both are OpenSource now.
UltraSPARC T3 is the new thing, and I don't know much about it.
Lame lame lame.
Lets just say it'll be easier to say than "CORE TWO DUO"

Well I'd call the dual core Pentiums(Pentium D) as Pentium 5. Though they were nothing more than two P4s glued together; yet they gave a marginal performance boost to people; Multi-core for the masses..
And then Id include, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo and finally Nehalm. So for me; this is Pentium 8. This kinda analogies make it hell lot easier to explain to my friends(all are noobs
) the whole line-up. Most of my friends dont even know anything newer than Pentium 4 !!
Well, 999USD seriously, choke up, Intel's just robbing us all.
Have you ever read some benchmarks, then you should know that in REAL-TIME, a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad with 2.67 GHz clock speed will give you the best performance.
So, if you have a Q6600 OC to 2.67GHz, and a QX9770, you won't get more than 5% rel-time performance increase trust me. And mind you, this also applies to the Core 2 Duo's.
So, it is not the increasing number of cores that is going to help, we need something new, something that created a revolution just like the Core2 xxxx did.

^^ Man I didnt understand a single bit of what you said.. Care to back it up? Maybe its me whos dumb but still?
I need a Core for Dummies book .. *sigh*

wats this buddy?do u hav any substantial proof to support ur views.cuz according to me this is nothing but crap.
cuz if this had been true we wudnt hav been spending on 3rd party coolers to oc ours procies to the xtreme and get the max perf out of them.
moind giving us some proof?
Thnx.
True. But all the latest+best CPUs come in that range. Thats been the culture since I remember.com@ddict said:
Well; like you, we also read benchmarks; and we may be less qualified but have not come across any such review. We would be obliged if you would educate us in the matter.com@ddict said:
Im so dumb.com@ddict said:
Lets stop increasing the cores. We need something better; let's start playing mario and enjoy 10000 FPS on our Celerons.com@ddict said:
PS : Sorry dude; got time from another thread; this was something I wanted to post since long. I apologise for anything that's been demeaning as I intend good humour out of this.

all these cores, now just give the s/w that can utilize those...at least 2 , in proper condition , then we shall think about 4, or 8 or whatever .
most of apps don't even use that 2 to its full potential ,leave alone 4.

Little specs on Nehalem:
731 million transistors for the quad core variant
45 nm manufacturing process
Integrated memory controller
DDR3 support (1 to 6 channel)
Native Quad core
FSB replaced by Intel QuickPath Interconnect
HyperThreading
off-die IGP (on same package)

all rit.. so the processors are here.. but where are the motherboards.?? intel preponded this launch.. but still motherboard manufacturers are not sure if they can prepare this 1366 boards in time //
When will this i7 be mainstream?
Thinking about my pc uprade later.
