Intel padded out plans for its upcoming Nehalem and Penryn CPUs. You may well be surprised by what's coming this way in 2008

Will the new Intel CPUs fit in existing S775 motherboards (It says Penryn will...) specifically my Gigabyte DS3 REV 3.3 with the 965 chipset (supports 1333MHz FSB) ?
You'll be OK with Penryn, but I doubt that Nehalem will stay on LGA775
Nehalem will need a new socket for the fact that the memory will be interfacing with it, rather than the northbridge.

Gah, Nehalem sounds to go to not wait for. I was planning to make a new penryn system but with Nehalem on the horizon soon after I'll probably be better waiting for that instead.
The Intel 80386SL was truly YEARS ahead of its time.Nehalem will also introduce an integrated memory controller on the processor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine who has done this before, and some time ago.
Oh, and that Athlon 64 thing had it too
Hands up who feels a but sorry for the AMD posse?

They've got some serious looking internally to do, I'd say.

It's exciting times for the industry and interesting to look at Intel and AMD's outlook.
AMD has always had plans - and detailed plans which only mildly change depending on the ecosystem or environment it is working within. The K8 core has lasted a long time, through a succession of small tweaks and manufacturing process changes, but it has been pretty much the same concept. Barcelona, too, will be another revision and update on it, rather than a totally new concept. K10 will be totally new, as AMD will soon have wrung out all it can from the present K8.
Intel, on the flip side, used to work on long-term plans [netburst] which has been painful to a certain extent. Now ,though, it seems to have commited to totally new architecture (albeit potentially borrowing some bits from some places and others from elesewhere). With its move to C2D and C2Q we saw the performance kick - this 'core' architecture will last for 2 years with Penryn the culmination of all that's good about the Core microarchitecture, shrunk down to 45nm.
We'll see the next jump up with Nehalem, featuring intergrated memory and graphics controllers, as well as a new host interface.
With all this stuff from both sides, finally, the CPU market is becoming akin to the graphics war between ATI/NVIDIA of old - either step up to the game to win, or give up

please....tell me the Green and Black logo are up for the fight. I lub dem.
I have no doubts they know what they are doing
Just a question on getting the AMD/ATI merger settled in
ok....
/strokes his assembled AMD kit and gets ready to iron his AMD FAN-BOIH T shirt.
so when can i buy an intel-powered cluster that doesn't suck for memory access?
Don't forget the Cyrix MediaGX that fits into the middle there! It had integrated north and south bridges along with the graphics controller. It then turned into the NS/AMD Geode and gained the IMC.Originally Posted by Thorburn

And the cancelled Timna
Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Never saw the light of day did it?
