Blowing Off Santa
@ 2005/10/31The first will be Intel's 65nm/975X early next year. True, it won't be a lot better than what's available from AMD today, might not even be quite as good. But at least it will be new, the dually will be cheaper, and hopefully, so will the video card. As an added bonus, the 975X will support Intel's second-generation 65nm processors, so that's killing two birds with one stone.
The second will be AMD's socket M2. Don't expect any miracles from that, either, but if AMD expects a 3GHz FX out, that sounds like they've got one performance tweak left in 90nm. It ought to be a little better than what's available today, and at least I'll be able to see which is really better, and I can use the same video and RAM for both systems.
