np101137 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Which Intel chip? Some more information would be helpful... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35146-new-intel-chips-next-month/#findComment-249577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Kentsfield (desktop) and Clovertown (server). Basically just two conroes on one chip, not a "real" quad core but close enough, consumes lots of power, makes more heat etc etc. Only really useful for multithreaded apps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35146-new-intel-chips-next-month/#findComment-249590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 consumes lots of power, makes more heat etc etc. Ridiculously hot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35146-new-intel-chips-next-month/#findComment-249599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedguy Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Not sure if they pushed them back but they were suppost to release some "lower end" conroe/allendales. E4300 I think was the lowest a 1.8. runs at a lower FSB (400)but higher clock (9x) to the e6300 which runs at 1.8 as well (533) but 7x clock Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35146-new-intel-chips-next-month/#findComment-249645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedfreaK Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I read a review in my pc magazine and they say that these chips are only good if you are a hard core multitasker. They are slower clocked than the best core 2 duo, so they are slower for games (as games don't need 4 cpu's). AND they cost a lot of money!
