Bloomfield Q4 Launch clock speeds unveiled

AthlonXP1800 · 06-10-08, 05:18 AM

Here will be 3 Bloomfield CPUs to launch in Q4 2008, 3.2GHz for Extreme, 2.93GHz for Performance and 2.66GHz for Mainstream.

2.93...they really couldn't get that extra .07 -.-?

**nekrosoft13** · 06-10-08, 06:46 AM

i wonder what the price will be

**K007** · 06-10-08, 06:48 AM

2.66, 360~
2.93, 499~
3.20, 999~

AUD.

Quad Extremes will probably be close to 2000AUD.

Don't forget the motherboard...x52?...Probably 450AUD~...no SLI motherboards ><

So what Bloomfield brings?

Oh hai 6 core Westmere, my next upgrade

45 nm, 4 Cores (8 Threads),256 KB L2/core, 8 MB shared L3,Dual and Triple channel DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600 MHz, Socket LGA1366

( From Wiki ) It has been reported that Nehalem will have a focus on performance, which accounts for the increased core size. Compared to Penryn, Nehalem will have:

1.1x to 1.25x the single-threaded performance or 1.2x to 2x the multithreaded performance at the same power level
30% lower power usage for the same performance
According to a preview from AnandTech "expect a 20 - 30% overall advantage over Penryn with only a 10% increase in power usage. It looks like Intel is on track to delivering just that in Q4."
Compared to a 3.0 GHz Core-based "Clovertown" microprocessor, the Nehalem-EP "Gainestown" processor will have 1.6x the SPECint_rate2006 integer performance and 2.4x the SPECfp_rate_2006 floating-point performance.

Bloomfield systems will have a theoretical memory bandwidth of up to 38.4 GB/s using triple-channel 1600 MHz DDR3. In experiments with a pre-release 2.93 GHz Bloomfield, AnandTech measured 12.0 GB/s copy bandwidth using triple-channel 1066 MHz DDR3, against 6.9 GB/s using dual-channel 1066 MHz DDR3 on a 3.0 GHz Core 2 Quad system.

Overclocking Nehalem processors will only be possible with the X58 chipset. The mainstream PCH will not be capable of overclocking unless a hardware mod is found

Thanks

So, finally Intel goes with integrated memory controller and that's a lot of pins...

I think that i'll wait for the 8 cores version. But i think that it will be a server chip, so, i dunno.

xbob · 06-10-08, 08:35 AM

I'll probably grab a Q9650 and ride that through 2009, then when Windows 7 ships shuffle that to my wifes system and get some Bloomfield on.

LordJuanlo · 06-10-08, 09:22 AM

Those new processors are really awesome, they just crush the Penryn, but I don't think we gamers with a Core2 Quad will "need" to upgrade (except for the "cool" factor) while we are bottlenecked by video cards. My Q6600 with DDR2 is going to stay for a long time with me, I will just upgrade video card.

**nekrosoft13** · 06-10-08, 10:56 AM

i will probably stick to my Q6600 for a while
