so dual cores are just starting to become norm, now Oct cores with 16 threads in total will "soon" be out?

im lucky i chose q6600

multi-core is the future!

a computer that greets me! i want one of those........

When I was new to modding I modded the whole startup to supply a greeting...it gets old fast, trust me. On the subject of 8 cores, wow! But the cynic in me wonders how long it will take for most software to take advantage?

Finally, Intel hypertransport.

Yonah, Penryn, Nehalem...The chip names are really getting supercool...a long way from "Northwood" and the like...

DXR_13KE · 18th Sep 2007, 22:56

will these ditch the northbridge?

Sort of, the cores are using on-die interconnects to talk to each other now if that's what you mean. Intel Quick Connect = AMD HyperTransport

If it means less fiddling around with straps for memory dividers when overclocking then I'm all for it!

completemadness · 19th Sep 2007, 19:25

umm is it just me or are there only 4 cores on that chip ?

kickarse · 19th Sep 2007, 19:29

Did he just say it booted into OSX??? Crazy!

yep, but there will be an 8-core product launched in 2008. That's 8 cores on a single die based on what Otellini said, not SMP like I reported here: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/09..._smp_working/1

Don't forget the silicon was only taped out three weeks ago, so Intel hasn't got a dual-die chip working yet. But Otellini has said it'll happen.

The chips on show are only quad-core versions.

sweet

Cupboard · 19th Sep 2007, 22:48

umm... does

however each core will have two threads, making a total of 16 threads on a single CPU package

not mean hyperthreading?

Tim S · 20th Sep 2007, 02:23

It's a new version of hyperthreading, but it's not been given a name yet.

DXR_13KE · 20th Sep 2007, 17:38

hmmmm.... hyperthreading2 ?
