What was between Pentium 4 Northwood & Core2 Duo?

[Big.Wayne]

Hello,

any cpu history masters care to fill in the gaps for me please. I've used INTEL CPU's since the days of the original Pentium but I didn't pay much attention to them after the Northwoods . . .

here is a list of what I used myself (I skipped the Pentium2's).

P133MHz (Socket 7)
P200MHz (Socket 7)

PIII 'Coppermine' 450MHz (FC-PGA)

P4 'Northwood' 2.6GHz (Socket 478) d1
P4 'Northwood' 2.8GHz (Socket 478) m0 < - Last of my I N T E L ' s early 2004

P4 'Prescott' (Socket 478) Feb/March 2004

P4 'Prescott' (LGA775)

H A Z Y ! ! !

Rumours of Pentium M being good for games, not much mobo support

Something to do with the MHz rating being dropped, now INTELs just have model numbers, 5xxx series then 6xxx series

Hear that INTEL is dropping the Pentium brand, talk of new CORE CPU

S T I L L H A Z Y ! ! !

Then 'BAM!' Core2 Duo Frenzy - Summer 2006

So basically what happened of note between the end of socket 478 Northwood and the new LGA775 Core2 Duo?

Many thanks!

After Northwood 478 came Prescott 478.

Then Prescott migrated to 775, and the dual core Smithfield 775.

Somewhere around this time they switched to silly numbering scemes instead of Mhz.

Then we had Cedar Mill (single core) and Presler (dual core), still on 775 and still Netburst.

Then onto Core 2 Duo 775.

Mobile, I think went something like Banias 479, onto Dothan 479 then into the Core Solo's and Duo's?????
There were also mobile P4's too, based on Northwood.

Thats about all I know.

LOL, why do you want to know so much about them, xeon are practically out now anyway still 775 me thinks (correct me if they all ready are out or i am wrong about the socket, probs am, reading somthing about 771 !! meh )

seen how much dual socket 771 xeon boards are at the moment, 200+ and i have yet to see one with PCI-express x16

Dont think a server needs anything more than a 2 mb onboard gfx card

X16 PCI-Express, Dual Socket 771 is out there, not from Intel but its out there. Supermicro have 4 or 5 boards, but as you say they arent cheap.

Apple found them somewhere, they ship theirs with 4 PCI-e 16x slots.
