Intel’s new 3.0 GHz quad 45nm QX9650 uses less than 65 watts

Gigacore · 30-10-2007, 06:33 AM

TechReport has an early review on the new Intel QX9650 45nm 3.0 GHz quad-core extreme desktop CPU (due for launch next month) and the power consumption results are shocking. The new QX9650 quad-core based on the latest 45nm HKMG (High K Metal Gate) manufacturing process consumes less power on average than an Intel E6750 2.66GHz dual-core. At idle the QX9650 system draws 160W versus an E6750 at 175W idle. At peak consumption the QX9650 draws 215W versus the E6750 at 214W which is nearly identical. That’s shocking when you consider the fact that we’re comparing four 3 GHz cores versus two 2.66 GHz cores.

The E6750 is based on “stepping G” which is already the latest and most mature 65nm manufacturing process from Intel and it was already an extremely efficient CPU. The idea that the first 45nm CPUs on the planet that has barely matured can get these kinds of results is astounding. What’s just as astounding is the fact that Intel calls the QX9650 quad-core CPU a 130W TDP part when the Intel E6750 is already a very conservative 65W TDP part. It is noteworthy that the server version of the 3 GHz 45nm quad-core Intel processor is rated at a less conservative 80W TDP which makes perfectly good sense considering it’s in the same power envelope of a conservative 65W TDP chip.

Yes, please look at this video from zdnet

as it would explain the facts aboud the Hi-K Insulator and the Metal Gate what intel is using in their 45nm Technology

the 32 year old Silicon is no longer present the Penyrn processors, in fact the 65nm was the End of it

may be now we can call Sillicon valley the Hi-K valley

wohaaa.... just 65watts!!!

nvidia · 30-10-2007, 12:52 PM

Do these people at Intel sleep??

desiibond · 30-10-2007, 01:00 PM

no. it's the people at AMD that are sleeping.

Intel innovates... AMD follows it.... (except AMD offered 64 bit CPUs to desk for the first time)

azzu · 30-10-2007, 05:21 PM

^^ lol
really shocking just 65 watt's

on a Interview on Nehalem, the Intel spoke person from their RnD unit have said that their Competitor (note he has mentioned as singuler number, meaning only to AMD

) are at-least 2 years behind them with the launch of 45 nm QX9650

Now AMD might be on end of road . not sure

65w?!?!?! we can overclock it to atleast 4Ghz..............

Gigacore · 31-10-2007, 07:00 PM

^^ Yeah we can.. but still needs good cooling solution
