source?

So very insightful.

Lower numbers mean theyll be worse, I expect the 750 to perform on par with the amd tripple core processors because the numbers are similar.

I expect it to be about 4 times better than the highest score you can throw in darts.

Anyone got a source/any more details for this?

Sorry guys, lol

Oh, cool, my proc is in the same category with i7 920

Great!
By the way do you know anything about MultuGPU support for new chips mobos? P55 I mean... CrossFire and SLI in one system with X58 chipset was really great idea, I am waiting for this support in P55...

JeremyW · 11 Jul 2009 at 20:12

This roadmap shows the i7-920 being sold until Q3/2010. I thought everyone was expecting the 920 to be discontinued when the i5 launched?

Mmm confused....

PS.

On this public forum I especially like the Intel Confidential across the bottom of the slide

Me too =\

Also, what's Clarkdale? A new socket 1156 chip?

And Gulftown is a new 1366 i7 chip? Like the wolfies were to conroe?

JeremyW · 11 Jul 2009 at 20:20

I think Clarkdale has an integrated GPU whereas Gulftown has 6 cores, in case 4 with HT isn't enough!!!

BIGBC · 11 Jul 2009 at 20:21

So the i7's are going to be better than the i5's ?
It also appears from that table that my 9550 is gonna beat the i5's ?
I dont really know what the MS3/MS2 classifications are though.

JeremyW · 11 Jul 2009 at 20:35

MS = Mainstream. For some reason Intel think there are 3 levels of Mainstream where MS3 > MS2 > MS1

BIGBC · 11 Jul 2009 at 20:40

Oh, so this is their plan for phasing i7's / i5's into the mainstream market ?

JeremyW · 11 Jul 2009 at 21:07

Yep, just a shame they don't include a price list

Still, nice to know mainstream at the start of next year is dual core @ 3.2GHz..

That was one bs article from bit-tech.

I guess everybody already knows the specs of the new chips but I will confirm them anyways

i7-870 2.93Ghz 8MB 3.6Ghz turbo HT 95W
i7-860 2.80Ghz 8MB 3.46Ghz turbo HT 95W
i5-750 2.66Ghz 8MB 3.2Ghz turbo NO HT 95W

Drake22 · 12 Jul 2009 at 03:32

gulftown are teh 6core westmere

i thought they ll be called i9 though o.o

nightmare99 · 12 Jul 2009 at 08:46

You should not really need a price list as they are pretty much in price point order.

HighlandeR · 12 Jul 2009 at 14:25

hmmm 6 core action in early 2010

And sod all games/software to take advantage of it

Yeh considering that quad cores been out for 1,5year or so and yet no game can use it fully ( 80%+ on all cores ) and most games still use only dual cores and not like wolfdales will have problems with games for the next year or so.

So by the time games fully use quad cores and start using 6cores we will have 8 and 12 cores already out

Yet I bet you'll need *insert_newest_GPU*x2 for it.

Funny how since c2d showed up, CPUs are so much more powerfull than the games need.

Well I guess that's a good thing for servers and encoding machines as they fully utilize all the power - but those things anyways have already 16-32CPUs or more for long time and that doesn't get upgraded every year.

----
I'm just wondering what's gonna happen to the wolfdale and Q8xx series if the i7 is gonna take their price points ? Are they going to be better for the same price? I don't think so...

Intel is kicking itself in the nuts with all this i5/i3 mess tbh
