News Intel's Lynnfield will hit upwards of 2.3GHz DDR3

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2009/07/22/intel-s-lynnfield-will-hit-upwards-of-2-3gh/1

We've had a play with some P55 boards in the labs and come up with some interesting revelations about Intel's upcoming CPU.

 

2352? Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
Waiting for benchmarks. Any hint on when other than "soooooooooooooooon"?

 

Run that setup 24/7 and let us know if that ram fails.

 

^^ yup

 

This lynnfield thing might be the holy grail of overclocking if that ram is fully stable and those 5ghz on air rumors are true

 

bit tech did it last time and they went up tp 4ghz

i think it was bit tech

 

no Uncore voltage options? am i right in saying Uncore are the quickpath bus controllers, in the same sense as northbridge are FSB controllers on LGA775?

i hope they open up all options. otherwise LGA1156 will be a fail for tweakers and overclockers.

 

Could someone please state in brief what is going to happen with the intel processor sh*t (meant in a good way), I'm currently thinking that i'll buy a Core i7 920 and OC, am i right in sticking with that for the time being (futureproofing irrelevant) or is it worth waiting a month or two (considering i've been waiting for a loooong time anyway). I'm not sure whats going on with i5 and i7 or whatever...thx

 

If the difference between 1600MHz and 2000MHz is irrelevant (to gamers, not OC guys (and gals)) then does a jump to 2300 really matter?

 

In AMD terms is Uncore the same as the Northbridge speed (CPU-NB)?

I have AMD chips so just trying to make sense of the Intel Nehalem ones thanks.

 

Yes, both the Intel and AMD "uncore" area are integrated northbridge and L3 cache.
