Power Consumption

With no quad-core 32nm desktop parts on the market today, Sandy Bridge only needs to beat Lynnfield to be more power efficient - which it does very well:

Idle power remains unchanged, but load power is much lower at the same clock and even within the same price target.

"For example, today the fastest LGA-1156 processor is the Core i7 880. When Sandy Bridge launches early next year, the fastest LGA-1155 processor will be the Core i7 2600."

Shouldn't the second one also read LGA-1156? Are they changing the pin count/socket for this 'tock'?

Well, that's me being an idiot and not reading the whole article first... New socket indeed.

So intel has locked multtipliers because of some other evil companies, eh? To protect the consumers, right?

What a shame... :(

Cache comparison by wazzap123 on Thursday, November 18, 2010
The story of how caches are going to work in the 8+ core world is getting exciting. I like the overview at the daily circuit that summarizes how Niagara 3, Tilera Gx-100, and BlueGene/P processors weigh in on the issue too

The Apple iMac 21.5inch is a computer machine which uses the power of Intel Core i5-2400. Look at these page: http://www.bestdealscomputers.net/desktops/new-app... Processors like that, thanks to its strength, could draw the attention of everyone, even computer vendors at the level Apple also has without a doubt to hook them.

overclocking by Grooveriding on Friday, August 27, 2010
It's hard to wade through all this data so quickly. That said, as far as overclocking, the new 2011 socket will be the successor to 1366 ?

I hope with all these new overclocking controls there will still be that mainstay $300 CPU that can overclock to some extreme performance. Meaning a successor to the i7 920/930 that can deliver the amazing performance those can overclocked.

I hope this is not the death knell for such a CPU and Intel is expecting us to fork over $1000 for that performance level.

Good question, but judging by the road map, the Extreme and Performance segments are still Gulftown Processors. I think the 1366 stays for Gulftown.

On the 2P Server side of things, I have been told there will be a Westmere v2 coming in January 2011.
This is probably the same family that will produce the i7 990 and the other 1366 chips on the chart that don't exist yet. The Xeon 5600 and 970/980 are damn near identical aside from QPI Links.

Being those are being released in Jan, I wouldn't expect to see a socket 2011 desktop part until basically a year from now.

They will once again be a close relative to the 2P Server family. The socket for the 2P Servers will be Socket R and will be Quad Channel memory as well as supposedly having PCIe 3.0.

Yeah but.... will it run Starcraft II ? (on medium)
