nekton Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I wonder whether this transplant might be supported and long lived? According to Tom's Hardware, the 2.6 G C2Q draws as much power at rest as the C2D running at full bore, so heat and PS might be issues. Anybody here tried it yet?

eire3678 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The quad requires a 775 socket which the iMac does not have, unless I missed a new release of the quad core that uses the mobile socket. A simple Google search would have told you this.

nekton Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Similar to the current Core 2 Duo processors that were launched on the Napa platform (which was introduced with Core Duo in January 2006), the 45 nm successor of Merom will launch on a refreshed preceding chipset platform. The mobile variant of Merom is expected to ship in the first half of 2008 in volume. The processor will bring some enhancements in the performance (SSE4, up to 12 MB L2 cache) and power savings department. Intel also has decided to release a quad-core version for gaming notebooks. Well whaddya know! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48780-core-2-quadro-in-core-2-duo-24-imac/#findComment-349531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eire3678 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 As is expected. But since the processor in question doesn't as yet exist why ask if anyone has tried it or ask if it will work?
