Yonah and conroe

Everyone seems to be talking about these recently, some are also out arent they? What names have they been given ie pentium 5? what socket will they be as well?

Yonah is the Core Solo, and Core Duo. Conroe names haven't been announced yet. Not sure what socket Yonah is, I think it's 479 but not compatible with Pentium-M socket 479. Conroe will be LGA775.

Conroe will also be named "Core", like Yonah was. The actual product names (e.g. "Duo" and so on) haven't been announced yet for Conroe.

Conroe is socket 755, like the current P4s. They are also compatible with new P4 motherboards (ones with revised power circuitry.)

Ah ok thanks. Will they run quite hot or are they pretty cool?

They will run cool

And fast too, faster than pretty much anything else on offer now and when they are released too

CPC overclocked a Core Duo in a desktop motherboard and the load temp never exeeded 27c afaik.

Now that is cool! Wonder how easily they will run on passive cooling.

dont recall what board do you?

Amp34 · 28 Mar 2006 at 21:53

That would be especially good for a passive htpc system, but then i suppose it is a laptop chip. What cooling was it on?

Conore is set to be form 2.66ghz with 4MB l2 catch and run colder than any Intel ever and give amd a run, it's faster out the box than a Fx60 @ 2.8ghz!!!

I got 3 ES ones coming over shortly

A few mobos have been made, Asus have done a really nice one with a new chipset

I have a 1.83 dual core Yonah in my MacBook pro, not had the fan come on once. Though the case does get pretty damn hot to the touch!

is that even possible? - didnt know x86 cpus could run osx (unless its a different varient?)

Did you completely miss Apple's adoption of Intel CPUs?

Also: My friend has OSX on his Centrino laptop.

no - but i thought just because intel are fabbing chips for them doesnt mean they can now run osx on x86....

They had an x86 port for OSX for ages AFAIK.
