Quad Core inside

[Joe]

Ok its been know for a while that AMD have been eyeing Quad Core chips, now its intels turn

Its codename 'Cloverton' and will be on the Xeon platform

Cloverton is the lower end 4core Xeon it supports 2 socket mobos

the higher end chip will be called 'Tigerton' and providing support for 4socket mobos.

The comming out date of these chips is set to around 2007 ,,,but it is yetto be seen if intels take on HTransport [called CSI]

these chips are touted to be more or less two woodcrest Xeons stuck together

Woodcrest itself is based on the mobile arc as 'netburst' is no longer intels cared for baby

the cores work out @ bout 40 per watt [in current woodcrest protos but due to process shrinks this should becrease a bit]

Hmm whether or not Intel will have a one-up with this remains to be seen. AMD will be releasing their quad cores very soon and that will tell the tale

personally i believe intel will conquer this next gen proc war,

Better Architecture than AMD and they are hopefully gonna be @ 45 Nm by the time the 4Cores are out

I have a sneeking suspicion that your right. and to be honest I'm pretty glad Intel have got it together. AMD need a rocket up their ass now to get them innovating again

I see your Quad Core Cloverton and Raise you an Eight Core Niagrara.

Quad cores nothing new tbh, well only new in the consumer market.

Agreed, it has been a one-sided affair for too long, Let's hope Intel can step up to the plate and deliver the goods

lemme see AMDs current heat generation is @ least 30% higher than intels core chips not to mention the core chips having around the same ipc as the amd chips and intel moving to much more advanced manu processes than amd ... i dont smoke
