We also have the upcoming launch of the 915PL and 915GL chipsets, but there's nothing exciting there. 915PL is the new budget 915P, and it drops HD Audio and DDR2 support, as well as limiting the chipset to 1 DIMM per channel with a maximum of 2GB of RAM
Intel finally made something worthwhile!
Now if only they made Northwoods into LGA775 as well that'd be super.

Moz posted that in a thread a while ago.
I cant believe how very much like a pr piece that is. I wonder how much Intel paid for it, or maybe they just got a couple hundred systems instead.
You will note, no mention of tdp, those suckers are going to put out 135 watts.
The part I really liked was where they said mobile parts were always on time. Can anyone think of a mobile Intel chip that was on time? Seriously, dothan was supposed to be out a year ago last september.
It might have been nice if they talked a bit about intel's em64ty performance, but not a word. There are a lot of ommisions, and just a couple of pounds too much sugar.
And they're putting 2MB of L2 cache on their 6series.
Thats just hope they don't further extend the pipelines...

I saw a site last night where someone had OC'd a 3.6 to 4.3 and had the memory up to 711. Ive gotten mine up to 1040 on the FSB with the multiplier unlocked. The best that I have done so far with the RAM is 667, but OCing one of these puppies is complex compared to the 478, AGP, and regular DDR. There are alot more variables that must be considered wtih the 775 and PCIexpress.
Where's P4man I thought I mentioned something about this.

Pipeline is the same, latency isn't. The L2 on Irwindale is slower than the L3 on Gallatin (the OLD EE, now replaced by Irwindale as well). X86-Secret has a review of both, neither are impressive in the least (the 3.73EE is barely faster than the 3.46EE, if at all and the 6xx is no more than 5% faster in anything than the 5xx yet costs 25% more).
Maxtor disgraces the six letters that make Matrox.
