Intel Bloomfield On X58 Board

Another interesting hunt over at Computex is definitely the Intel Nehalem and we managed to get our hands on a 2.66GHz Bloomfield running on a X58 Tylersburg board. Its 3DMark Vantage CPU score is pretty remarkable at 16334 which is about 45% faster than a similarly clocked Yorkfield

Bloomfield is planed for the fourth quarter and the price will start by 316 USD. The top-of-the line model will cost 999 USD. The clock frequencys are probably 2.66 GHz, 2.93 GHz and 3.2 GHz.

In pricing terms I reckon it's gonna go down like:

Bloomfield replaces Yorkfield. (mid-high end quad core)
Lynnfield replaces Wolfdale (low-mid range quad core)
Havendale replaces Celeron and Pentium Dual Core (low end dual core) - oh and Havendale is a GPU-CPU combo as well apparently.

Which'd make sense I guess.

100% correct Lightnix.

were is nahalm or what its called ? its coming after bloomfields?

Can not compute, please rephrase.

 

[Azza]

Bloomfield is Nehalem.


Its just the code name for the performance / extreme desktop CPUs.

Indeed.

Mainstream stuff will be on 1160 socket.
