diff. between 65nm and 90nm

[kooabs03]

guys i wanted to know whats the diff. in performance between 65nm and 90nm amd proc. also is there any price diff. for the same?

[solomon_paulraj]

yes... there is difference..

to know about 65nm check this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/65_nanometer

and about the price.. there is definetely diff in it..

i bought P4 3.0GHz procy for Rs.8700/- with 65nm.. at that time the price of 90nm was Rs.8000/- (june 2006)

^^^^ actually i was looking for the price diff. in AMD X2 64 prcessors like 4800+ and 5200+. any idea?

[assasin]

^^^ afaik they cost the same

[solomon_paulraj]

more or less the same... but insist on 65nm when buying... seller often sell 90nm procy's

thnx guys...

Well .. lets summarize (short one :P) :

65 nm :

(i) much newer
(ii) consumes less power , so less heat generated
(iii) smaller in size (literally)
(iv) lower manufacturing cost

90 nm :

All the inverse of the above :D ...

Hope that helps ..

^ but heats (65nm) superfast ?

[kooabs03]

^ but heats (65nm) superfast ?
do u mean 65nm heats faster than 90nm?

[freebird]

^ i doubt :-|

[deathvirus_me]

No way ... like i said .. the 65nm requires much less operation voltage .. so its obvious it'd run cooler ...

is amd x2 3800+ available in 65 nm version. What is its price ???

[cynosure]

^^ I think it was. I mean I faintly remember all procs below the x2 5000+ were of 65nm arch.
AMD was to launch other higher (5200;5600;6000 etc. etc. etc.) variants of x2 this year in the 65nm version.

^^^Sorry to say this dude,but all those belong to BRISBANE core are 65nm....AFAIK.
