bofors Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 ...Bloomfield will be the successor to Yorkfield (monolithic die quad-core), which is a successor of Kentsfield. And Kentsfield is nothing more but two Conroe dies stuck together. Conroe is.... well, you know. This desktop component will play a key role in mid-2008, when Intel faces a fight against the successors to AMD's Stars line up from Q3'07. Bloomfield is a key product to attack AMD's Fusion CPU as well, currently scheduled for late 2008. A mobile variant of Bloomfield will be named Gilo, while the server parts are codenamed Gainestown. So, you know the codenames, but now, it's time to reveal what Bloomfield/Gilo/Gainestown actually are. First of all, forget about Socket 775 and the upcoming mobile Socket P. The name of the new baby is Socket B, and it features an interesting number of golden-coloured dots on the back of the CPU packaging: 1366. Almost the double number of 775 connects is required because Bloomfield is a single-die, high-performing 45 nanometre part that features four cores and an integrated memory controller supporting DDR3 memory, most likely in the flavours of 800, 1066, 1333 and 1600 MHz. The real clocks are 400, 533, 667 and 800 MHz DDR, of course. The ,emory controller plays an important role in the architecture, since Intel is introducing an all new Hyper Threading tech. ... http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35892 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33925-intel-to-intergrate-memory-controller-in-2008/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe75 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 They finally got their heads out of their ass AMD still has a big lead and they are planing on adding an additional controller on their mother boards to further increase speeds and to lower latency.

-jordn- Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 i must agree, this is most interesting. integrating the memory controller onto the CPU will really allow Intel to kick the {censored} out of AMD, which goes against everything i stand for and 45 nanometre process as well?! how many transistors per sq mm is that?! but as i was saying, this kind of thing is excellent for consumers such as ourselves. As long as these two rival companies compete for our custom, the higher performance (and better the technology) the future chips will have/become. just my two cents. jordn Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33925-intel-to-intergrate-memory-controller-in-2008/#findComment-240198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVENGE Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Funny. Socket changes are always funny. You see, by the time Intel finally gets an integrated memory controller, AMD will have moved on to integrating other things such as PCIe with their Cerberus type sockets due in late 08. Of course, whether or not AMD will once again have a competitive core by then is anyone's guess. Marchitecturally, however, Intel still lags behind in terms of on-chip integration, although this hasn't stopped their Core 2s from wiping the floor . Btw, I have a very similar system compared to your's jordn, cept I'm running nicely on a new Semthex kernel with QE/CI enabled on my geforce! :gathering: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33925-intel-to-intergrate-memory-controller-in-2008/#findComment-240207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The bigger advantage for AMD will be DDR4 and the means of correcting poor latency times Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33925-intel-to-intergrate-memory-controller-in-2008/#findComment-240209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
user2 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 They finally got their heads out of their ass AMD still has a big lead and they are planing on adding an additional controller on their mother boards to further increase speeds and to lower latency. A lead? which currently doesn't seem to be helping much. Me thinks you might be smoking a large AMD branded crack rock.

joe75 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've been trying to stay off the crack these days I'm very impressed with my C2D, but AMD had to fight their way to the top and I don't think they want Intel to steal the show for too long.

But Intel has the resources and now the incentive to keep on the cutting edge. They will not allow AMD to ever and I repeat ever take the lead again. Not that I think this is a good thing but Intel got complacent and that is the only reason AMD had the run that they did. I welcome competition but for many years Intel allowed AMD to exist primarily to avoid having a monopoly and violating US law. Intel invented the microprocessor and basically licensed their technology to AMD. AMD was merely a blip on the radar until a few years ago. Intel has been reinvigorated with the competition and that is a great thing but I think AMD awakened a sleeping giant and the game is now on. Look for Intel to dominate the market for many years to come.

Urbz Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 ...but as i was saying, this kind of thing is excellent for consumers such as ourselves. As long as these two rival companies compete for our custom, the higher performance (and better the technology) the future chips will have/become. just my two cents. jordn I couldn't agree more with this: a lot of people have been saying over the past couple of years how competition is good, because not many people saw it: Apple switching to Intel is just one example(vs IBM), but we've also seen it in other industries, such as the video-game market. Now that the playing fields are being leveled, there are better products all around. Microsoft is stepping up tp the plate (well, kinda...bear with me...USE YOUR IMAGINATIONS!) with Vista (yeah its all copied but still) and bringing loads of great features to the masses, but in the meantime, people are looking to Apple (finally!) for serious computers: they're finally gaining market share. And AMD and Intel will only do the same thing: both companies will push until their product is better, and eventually we'll be left with nothing but killer processors. YAYE!
