hey people, is the new xeon processor using the 'kentsfield' core? if so does anyone have any idea on the release date of them cause im not gonna go conroe, im gonna hold out for the new xeons and go MP i think, might go for a small AM2 upgrade to hold till xeons hit the stores
 
Yep it is as far as I'm aware. Just on a different socket. Q3/Q4 2006, and it's 1333FSB I think.

Mul
 
well its official, screw conroe, im gonna wait to see what woodcrest is like, might just get myself a little CPU upgrade or something, perhaps the nice and cheap 3800+ X2 and overclock, will woodcrest still be MP?

Edit: just found this on the register 'Intel is set to ship its 'Woodcrest' processor, the first 65nm Xeon chip to be based on the chip giant's next-generation architecture, will ship at 2.93GHz and boast a 1333MHz frontside bus, a purported copy of the company's server roadmap posted on a Chinese-language website claims.' does this mean woodcrest is coming very soon, sooner than expected?

It is released before Conroe but won't be available in the same levels of retail quantity that Conroe will be. 90% of Xeon produce goes straight to the OEMs.
 
its motherboards that are hard to get find for dual xeon based systems, especially with the likes of SLI and PCI-E, hope to see more for woodcrest
 
Looks like woodcrest has officially launched today. Supermicro also announced immediate availability of woodcrest systems and motherboards.
 
Supermicro is just another manufacturer like Gigabyte, Asus, etc. They're not an e-tailer.
 
It's out now both of them 6 months + but ES only

They will change a lot okay

Quad core will work on bad axe and will cost you $2000 for the Kentsfiled. Thinking 4 cpu's, 6 months ahead, 18 second super pi time 1m with all 4 cores

Oh it'll work on all the Conroe mobos but when realse happens there will be better mobos hopefully

This little beasty is ready for the Clovertown Xeon "A quad-core version of Woodcrest, consisting of two Woodcrest dies on a multi-chip module. Rumoured to use a 1066 MT/s FSB. Intel plans to release Clovertown towards the end of 2006, and the clock speeds will likely be a step or two down from Woodcrest. There will also be an MP-capable version of Clovertown, codenamed Clovertown-MP."
The successors to 45nm technology will be 32 nm, 22 nm, and then 16 nm technology. Just think of it...........
 
if i was to get a woodcrest system dual PCI-express graphics is a bonus, one PCI-express is a must, think there'll be a motherboard supporting two woodcrest CPUs, overclock well, support two PCI-express graphics?
 
Two woodcrest cpu's and two pci-express slots yes but no one seems to know about overclocking potential yet.
