|
 |
As we have spread out posts about the upcoming Intel Nehalem architecture, I thought to make one collective thread about it.
Intel Nehalem Technology Overview Webcast
| Quote: | The first products in this new family of processors, which will be in production in Q4 and feature a unique mix of performance and energy efficiency, will also carry a new identifier and be formally branded the Intel® Core™ i7 processor. Believe it or not, this new naming scheme should make it easier for PC buyers to decide which technology is right for them. The “i7” identifier is the first of several new identifiers to come as different Nehalem-based products launch over the next year.
Nehalem is an entire family of products that span from Server to Mobile.
Fast by design with quicker connects between cores and greatly improved memory bandwidth.
Hyperthreading greatly improves efficiency.
Power Management has been GREATLY redefined from previous chips both through new techniques as well as physical transistors being changed. |
Intel's Rajesh Kumar talking about the Nehalem series of processors
A bit hard to follow, if its the guys dialect or the share tech of things, well you judge  .

Well no kidding... intel really is the class of hardware technology right now. Good on them for keeping their R&D going so hard with AMD really faltering in terms of the CPU market.

man. why.. what do i buy now..
how much are the new mobo's gonna cost.. how much for the new CPU!!?? am i gonna have to set a place for bill at xmas dinner... whats the plan with this new tek?

not too impressive if you ask me...
buy a dualcore 45nm newest stepping now, clock it ~4000 MHz or more, wait 2 more years till you buy something new...

Nehalem won't boost games much
| Quote: | Threading is hard
Don't expect miracles with game performance on Core i7 CPUs. Some titles will get a performance boost of 10 to 15 percent, but most of them will get less than 10 percent.
The big issue is that games cannot take the advantage of four cores and Nehalem / Corei7 has four physical cores and eight threads when it uses Hyper-threading. Games simply cannot take the advantage as it’s very hard to make a code that can run eight threads simultaneously and if you do that, all CPUs with four or two cores would end up being slower on such an engine.
This might become a real problem for Intel in the future, as the future of CPUs is multi-core / multi thread and if gaming industry cannot put four core in use, what will happen with sixteen and thirty two cores that might come in the next few years.
In most of contemporary games you won’t see any noticeable difference in frames comparing dual core Intel at 3.0GHz and Quad core Intel at the same speed, you might get a few percent but not enough to justify a saucy investment in quad core. |

Hm...I wonder...

Anyone have any idea how many upcoming games will take advantage of quadcore processors?

No doubt that this will be more than helpful, and the "new processors boost games" slogan on the other pic could become true with that built-in memory controller and the return of hyper-threading.
