With the upcoming launch of Intel's Nehalem CPUs, the highly integrated CPU means a boost for corresponding flip-chip (FC) substrate demand is likely as more substrates are required for new designs, according to industry players. Read more
First, we learned that Centrino 2 is delayed (confirmed), then it we heard that Nehalem may slip as well. Read more
Intel plans to launch three Nehalem-based quad-core processors (Bloomfield) at the end of the fourth quarter this year targeting the company's new LGA1366 socket, according to sources at motherboard makers. Read more
Intel announced that the first Nehalem processors to be made available will be desktop processors (Core i7) and high-performance server products code-named Nehalem-EP. Read more
On this, the second to last day of our System Builder Marathon series, we add a $500 gaming PC to the mix. It's not going to be as quick as our other two builds, but we think Paul was able to get some serious value from this thing. Read more
We're following up yesterday's $4,500 behemoth with a more affordable $1,500 mid-range build. Let's see what sort of performance (and overclocking headroom) you can get when you spend one third of the money. Read more
This month's System Builder Marathon spreads the system prices out even further to $4,500, $1,500, and $500. Is today’s $4,500 system really worth three times as much as an upper-mainstream performance machine? Read more
We'd all love to upgrade every time a new piece of gaming hardware drops, but that's an expensive proposition. You think your Athlon 64 system is fairly quick--any chance a simple graphics upgrade can bring it up speed? We're aiming to find out. Read more

I'm going to just nab a q6600 probably and wait for nehalem...who knows when it will come out though. I might or might not. Did they happen to show off the performance at the IDF?...Really curious on what type of performance that sucker brings. Message edited by Kamrooz on 09-19-2007 at 02:40:51 AM |

Yeh i think your right mrmez, we have quad core cpus that most users will never utilise, my q6600 is running server2003 64bit with exchange server, WSUS server, azureous bittorrent constantly and im still using it as a general email web viewing machine and it barely touches 20% utilisation on the CPU CRAZY |

Actually, the problem isn't even really graphics anymore.

I know Valve is big on the multicores. I do believe the updates to the source engine for Ep2 will handle upto quadcore. So not everyone is sitting back and not paying attention to trends. |

I hope the early revisions are relatively bug-free and OC like da shiz. |

from fudzilla it appears that nehalem will have a dedicated core to graphics basically Intels version of AMD's fusion. Id believe it but not from fudzilla. Message edited by shargrath on 09-19-2007 at 09:44:59 AM |

Hardware has so outstripped OS and application capabilities, it seems rather pointless. Hmmmm...if we could just put...say.....16GB of RAM on the die.....what's the point?....XP addresses 3GB.

Probably alot, but the lower end ones won't (hopefully). 5 years ago you would have said the same about dual cores, but now they are cheap as hell and are the current standard. |

Looks like Intel liked AMD's fusion idea - they liked it so much that they will get to market first with it!!!!
