|
 |
| Quote: | Good news for all Intel lovers. After Intel launches its Wolfdale and remaining parts of Yorkfield 45nm generation, the top out of the box dual core speed will increase to 3.16GHz.
This new CPU branded as Core 2 Duo E8500, it will work at 3.16GHZ and will feature FSB1333 and 6MB of cache memory. Of course, it will fit in most of the existing LGA775 sockets and motherboards and it will sell for $268 if you buy many of them.
The current plan is to replace a highly successful E6850 based Merom at 3.0GHz and its 65nm and to continue the good name for Core 2 Duo.
This item should launch on the 20th of January, at least that is the current plan and the launch plan involves two more 45nm dual cores. You can bet that they will overclock great as its TDP is about 65W at 3.16GHz. |

Nice, but I think I won't be replacing my oced E6600 just yet. All this processing power is a bit too much for the console ports we get.

yeah.. I also think I'll keep my overclocked E6550 for quite some time now.
If anything needs more speed nowadays, it's the graphics cards. But CPUs seem to be ahead of what's need/useful.
Hell, I'm sure you'd even be fine with a 3 or 4 year old athlon 64 single core CPU in almost all games nowadays, while a graphics card from that time will have you run around on low settings with a low resolution.
the biggest problem I had with my CPU before upgrading was supreme commander, but other than that it was fine, and there are almost no games that are as cpu power hungry as supreme commander.

45nm Core 2 Quad launch delayed due to erratum?
| Quote: | | According to our sources, dual-core Penryn processors (code-named Wolfdale) will indeed launch in mid-January, but quad-core versions (code-named Yorkfield) won't become available until late February/early March. Behind this delay lies a bug that, in some very rare cases, could cause a system to crash. Although the bug has only been detected in the lab through a new validation procedure, Intel has decided to fix it before the chips' launch. |

If only Nvidia tested their driver's properly, we would only need one release every quarter, instead they throw out half-assed crap that need replacing within a 2-4 week lifespan.
