We've spent the majority of this morning talking about the architecture and the direction behind Intel's new microprocessor architecture, but now we've got some pictures of the chip.

Above you can see the 65nm Conroe chip, and below you can see it compared to the 65nm Pentium D:

Yonah and Monticeto

What I don't like... by Questar on Wednesday, August 24, 2005

Why doesn't Anand give the details of these CPU's? How many in flight instructions? How deep are the buffers? Do the 14 stages include fetch and decode? Micro ops fusion. Instruction cracking and grouping. Branch prediction.

All these are significant to overall processor performance, but the talk is still about Ghz and FSB.

Other sites analyze this info, why not Anand?

Typo by IntelUser2000 on Sunday, September 11, 2005

BTW, I am not sure if I am posting a little too late but I hope the editors notice.

The last pic is Montecito, not Monticeto. Its funny how you guys exactly copied the typo that Intel had.

Wow... by Jeff7181 on Wednesday, August 24, 2005

The Monticeto being such a huge piece of silicon is impressive. All that silicon, and it all has to work. I guess that explains the huge price tag.

wow by sprockkets on Tuesday, August 23, 2005

Even though we know Intel rushed dual core out, at least I thought they were both together on one die.

But Intel really did just slap on two cores right together for the Pentium; both are separate dies! Is this the first time we get to see the actual die? Probably because I would be embarassed!

Wait, that is also the 65nm Pentium D. They still will make it like that? Sad.

RE: wow by coldpower27 on Tuesday, August 23, 2005

Slapping two Cedar Mill cores together instead of having to use 2 Prescott that are next to each other will enahnce yeids for the Dual Core Pentium D processors on 65nm, not to mention the decreases in costs for producing these reduced die size cores on 65nm, were looking at 150mm2 max probably for Dual Core Pentium D on 65nm, with 80mm2 or somewhere in that area for Single Core Pentium 4 on 65nm. Rememeber the experience on 65nm process used by these processors including Yonah will help with Conroe as well. So it's not all lost.

They still need to produce NetBurst up till the release of this new architecture, hence a few more cores on 65nm for NetBurst.

I'll wait for the new architecture. Oh wait, I already have the "new" architecture. it's called AMD. :p

Looks good by Hacp on Tuesday, August 23, 2005

Looks good. This should be able to get 3.4 with 65 NM process..........

It's gonna take a Hellava lot more than JIVE Talking for Intel to catch up to AMD. by Beenthere on Tuesday, August 23, 2005

As expected, Intel is just Jive Talking about future tech and products they can't deliver for years at the earliest. SOS, DD. About the only thing Intel is good at is pulling the wool over the eyes of naive consumers and cheerleading journalists. At least Wall Street is starting to wise up to Intel's bogus claims and obsolete product line. Have you noticed Intel execs have been dumping Intel stock lately??? Gee, I wonder why they'd do that...

go away by stateofbeasley on Tuesday, August 23, 2005

You're an f'ing moron. Intel had working demos of Woodcrest at 2.16 GHz, and if you look at the roadmaps, the release of the products is about a year away, not "years" away.

Clockspeeds of the demos mentioned here:

What the f is it with you and Intel anyways? Did they kill your dog or something? God damn you are stupid.
