Intel Nehalem and AMD Phenom Update

[comp@ddict]

INTEL:-

Well, to update all on nehalem.

1.The 2.53GHz Bloomsfield i7 has been tested and posts a score of 16000+ in PC Mark.
2. The 2.83 GHz almost touches 18000.
3. This is compared to the QX9770 which gives a 10300 score only


---Intel announced that mainstream nehalems will not be overclockable while others will be.


---ASUS has displayed a X58 prototype that supports 6 Graphics Cards and 24GB DDR3 1900/2000 MHz RAM.


---Performance nehalems will be priced anywhere between 266$ to 1200$





AMD:-

1. AMD quietly started selling low cost Phenom X2's a while ago.

2. AMD phenom X4 9950 B.E. price drop from 235$ to 186$, 4$ more than the X4 9850 B.E. which is now going to be selling at 182$.
The X4 9950 B.E. thus claims a sweet spot with prices almost touching 7.5k in India(I'm sure of that, at least after this price cut). Thus this makes us think twice before buying another one of the Q6600 which is although priced at 183$, is a little put down in front of the X4 9950.

3. AMD Deneb no further updates. Although the OCing has been facilitated to 3.6 Ghz now. Quite good huh.

Sorry but I read it on the blackberry and the source was not very easy one to copy, my bad.

[desiibond]

awesome.

[comp@ddict]

Well, the Phenom X4 9950 B.E. will be available for about 8.7-9k from next month onwards once the price slash effects India.

And AMD Deneb, no further news yet, looks like Intel is going full out with Nehalem, or maybe AMD is hiding something!!!!

[The Conqueror]

Awesome

[comp@ddict]

One more update: the Deneb procc. from AMD, which has 2.5GHz speed, has been successfully OCed to 4.05GHz.

holly , that's some serious OC.

AWESOME. one more nice step by Intel.

AMD now finding a way to hell.......

We were surprised to see that the Bloomfield generation of CPUs will officially support DDR3 800 or 1066. Even the extreme edition 3.2GHz Core i7 officially only supports DDR3 1066 and not faster. There won't even be an official support for DDR3 1333 not to mention 1600 or faster.


Fudzilla has already mentioned the fact that for some reason you need to run memory CPU voltage synchronously which might be an overclocker's worst nightmare. At this current stage you cannot go over 1.65V and some memories such as DDR3 1600 or DDR3 2000 might need a bit more than that. With more than 1.65 you will kill any current Nehalem CPU.

Bloomfield Nehalem doesn’t run with DDR2 memory as the memory controller is inside of a CPU and so far we are not aware of any plans to release Bloomfield Core i7 CPU that would support DDR2.

It's bad that ddr2 support is not there. DDR3 costs a bomb right now. This means that the Core i7 rig wil blow your wallet away

[Psychosocial]

^^No, I think that with the launch of i7 the steep DDR3 prices will come down by a great margin .

[desiibond]

^^ Hope so

Yeh to hona hee hai. Demand badegee, price girenge

[MetalheadGautham]

I am waiting for Deneb X4 9950 BE
EXTREME overclocking bliss 8)

[desiibond]

and am holding my PC upgrade for AMD's Fusion.

[Psychosocial]

Me waiting for Nehalem no matter what the faults. I am upgrading on 1st November.

Nehalem + X58 + 4GB RAM + VFM NVIDIA GPU at that time.

[comp@ddict]

VFM nvidia

Possible the 10800GT or the 10600GT lolz

[ax3]

intel is way 2 ahead ........

Man I do hope it lives up to its name!

[desiibond]

If it doesn't, I will go for Nehalem

As simple as that

[MetalheadGautham]

I hope we see a repeat of the Athlon XP pwning Pentium 4 era.

Since cheap nehalem ! = OC and since Deneb 2.5 GHz cheaper than Phenom 2.5GHz 9850 cheaper than Rs. 10,000 OCable to 4.05GHz, Deneb is THE way to go for me.

[nvidia]

^^yeah.. And Deneb will run on AM2 sockets right?
So ill sell my 6000+ and buy a Deneb
@desiibond: Fusion wont come out anytime soon. Nehalem will be old by then.

[desiibond]

^^I know that Fusion is going to take another year or two and my HD2600XT would serve for atleast another year.

As of now, everything runs at superb speeds on my rig and that is the reason I have decided to wait for Fusion.

If Fusion fails, I will get the best I can get at that point of time.

[nvidia]

^^Fusion won't fail. AMD is the 2nd largest GPU and CPU manufacturer. Combining them in one piece of silicon will be the end of Intel

[desiibond]

Am really hoping that AMD will get back to the Athlon XP and Athlon 64 like glory days..

[nvidia]

^^Check this out

No at the end of 2009 INTEL is going to die in the hands of AMD ------------ AMD glory days has come back --------- both dual core / pentium 4 ------ already died in the hands of ATHLON ........ now core2quad gona die in the hands of AMDdeneb------ phenom9850/9950 which kills core2quad6600 in hardmultitasking
