Just a quick question, will my current motherboard support the new Penryn processors, the moterhboard its self says it will support fsb1333 processors so does that mean the penryn?

also does anyone know how much better the penryn will be in terms of gaming, overclocking, heat?
 
I'm pretty sure current motherboards wont have support for penryn, you'll need 1 of the P35 Chipset boards available at the moment.

As for performance check some of the preliminary reviews, overlclocking and heat issues will be hard to judge at the moment as the NDA hasnt been lifted on the chips yet so no info is really available.
 
Well the P35 motherboards are Bearlake correct? thus they are supposed to support 45nm cpu's which is Penryn correct?

It's rude to answer a question with a question. Correct?
Well I'll apologise, if your that bothered why don't you use your initiative & e-mail the motherboard manufacturers & state the question to people who can give you a 110% answer!!!!!!!!

How many people do you know who have Penryn CPU's????? Exactly.

Its 45nm

Based on 45nm technology, Intel Penryn is all set to replace 65nm Core 2 Duo processors. Carrying 820 million transistors (quad core), the new processor uses a new transistor technology to boost performance and reduce power consumption. Intel's newly created chip is booting every popular OS including Windows XP/Vista, MacOS and Linux. It will speed up media applications because of its increased L2 cache size (6 MB L2 cache, up from current 4 MB) and Streaming SIMD4 (SSE4) extensions. The processor provides increased clock speed and some thermal improvements.

Cheers.

At least someone can be civil.
Hey look, I am really sorry I dont like falling out with anyone, I didn't mean it to sound rude I wrote it in totally the wrong manner & I apologies, the second reply was me being wound up with your reply was silly of me.

nVidia 680 and 650 chips will do 1333, but i don't think Penryn atm, but they might release a firmware upgrade.

firmware upgrade won't help the VRM requirments

i'd be highly doubtful of any board out now but P35 that will support penryn

Told ya :p
 
i wont see much point in upgrading if my current system is doing a heck of a job then, maybe when 4 core processors become usefull (very usefull) for gaming id consider switching, but my current cpu will rock for a long time.
 
even the Intel XBX2 needed a mod to run the initial Penryns..... 6xx series Nvidia wont stand a chance.

Intel seem to have a tendency to make chipsets obsolete quite rapidly.....
