I can see what im getting for Christmas next year. :D



Quad core Bloomfield, 12gb DDR3 RAM in tri channel and 4 graphics card. :eek:
 
Bloomfield seems to be on an entirely different socket altogether... Probably gonna be stupidly expensive. Lynnfield with hyperthreading's where it's at. Havendale just looks like an extreme budget solution judging by the way they assume you're gonna use its integrated graphics.

Quad core is the future! :p

Edit, yeah, I'm sticking with my E2140 'till Lynnfield hits the shelves at a sub-£120 price point...

Indeed.


Does look like Intel may try and sort out the gamers from the normal rabble.


i.e. because Lynnfield is on a different socket motherboard to the high end Bloomfield then the LGA1160 motherboards may not be higher suited to overclocking etc... but only time will tell.


I will proolu be getting Bloomfield though. ;)
 
'1.1x to 1.25x single threaded improvements'

That basically says to me 'clock-for-clock improvements are marginal'

Oh, and there was me thinking it was going to blow Penryn out of the window clock for clock. Then again, this is introducing more features that made their début in Pentium 4 so it might reach higher clock speeds than Penryn anyway.
 
You're gonna call 10 to 25% clock for clock improvements marginal? Those kind of increases are what made C2D what it is!
 
Nice, I,am still going for my Penryn quad whenever there due that is. It will be a big upgrade for me addtionally to my 2 * 1gb corsair, I will be getting 2 * 2gb Corsair all 800mhz , maybe SSD single drive boot up along with my 2*250 gb running in raid 0 as drive d , Windows Vista 64 :-) , M/ B New, power supply AOK..

For someone who is not so tech savvy can someone explain to me the difference between Lynnfield and Bloomfield? Cheers.

Lynnfield will be a different socket (LGA1160) and therefore their own 'line' of CPU's - a little like the current LGA775 desktop and LGA771 server sockets, except two sockets for desktop users. They will therefore use different motherboards which will be cheaper, as they have less PCIe lanes, 'only' do dual channel DDR3 (instead of triple channel) and only support single-graphics card solutions.

In terms of performance, Lynnfield < Bloomfield
In terms of price, Lynnfield < Bloomfield
In terms of price/performance, traditionally Lynnfield > Bloomfield but you'll have to wait and see on that one.

That pretty much sums up the basics. :)

Lynnfield will be able to support two graphics cards but only at x8.
 
That'll actually be nice, cheaper than getting 4, will be cheap in 2GB blocks at the point this really gets out there, would result in some superfast 6GB memory, would be nice :D
