it raised it a bit for A64 back in the day, but not by a huge amount

Comment from Kougar @ 2008/02/29

Now that is a very good question JMke...

Will an integrated memory controller raise the voltage/heat requirements enough to offset the gains made by dumping all FSB related circuitry? I wonder...

Nehalem is a codename for both a processor microarchitecture and a processor. Nehalem will be released in late 2008 for high-end chips and early 2009 for mainstream chips. The microarchitecture is being developed by Intel and is the planned successor to the Core microarchitecture. The processor is expected to debut the microarchitecture.

Intel is already well into the development process for Nehalem. Nehalem uses the 45 nm manufacturing methods from Penryn and applies it to the new Nehalem microarchitecture. This processor will debut in the second half of 2008 according to Intel[1]; a working system with two Nehalem processors was shown at IDF Fall 2007.[2] Intel's new flagship manufacturing plant in Israel, Fab-28, currently under construction in Kiryat Gat, will produce the new 45 nm chips beginning sometime in late 2008.

According to DailyTech, all models of the desktop chip Bloomfield will have three DDR3 channels. The quad core models will have 8 MB of shared L3 cache (Penryn has 12 MB of semi-shared L2 cache), and the high-end models will have a 130 W TDP, compared to 150 W for high-end Penryns[5]. Desktop Nehalem processors will use either Socket LGA715 (Socket H) (according to DailyTech's Kristopher Kubicki) or Socket LGA1160 (according to PC Watch). Kubicki has stated that either he or PC Watch could have old documents. Server processors will use the LGA1366 socket with support for registered DDR3

So yep, new socket, new mobo, new RAM (DDR3) and possible new CPU Cooler

any word on the specs of that? hmmm that probably means that they will discontinue the 775 socket......

Comment from jmke @ 2008/02/25

seems 9800GX2 will be middle march, 9800GTX end of March, early May.
Core 2 Quad 45nm are already "out", just have to find them as they are not in very large quantity yet.

At the end of the year, brand new Intel CPU will be released too, with onboard memory controller

Comment from jakebot @ 2008/02/25

alright.. thanks guys... so does anybody know when the 45nm core 2 quads are coming out?

Comment from jmke @ 2008/02/19

or earlier...

the GX2 will be out end of March if reports are correct; I did read 9800... for summer time frame

Comment from Kougar @ 2008/02/19

9800 series is up in the air, not seen anything concrete on it that I'd trust. Not even seen a 9800GT mentioned at all, and the GX2 is mentioned far more than a GTX.

9600GT will be in March though.

Comment from jmke @ 2008/02/19

I'm not expecting to see 9800GT(X) before the summer

Comment from Faiakes @ 2008/02/19

Yes, I'd very much like to know too.

Comment from jakebot @ 2008/02/19

does anyone have any word on the release of the whole 9 series... mostly the 9800gt? i've heard anywhere from february to march. my 7900gt just isn't cutting it anymore
