Intel has recently released its latest state-of-art 65nm CPU based on its revolutionised Intel Core arhitecture. A transistion from 130nm to late 90nm to a now 65nm has bring Intel more fortune. Intel's old and terrible NetBurst arhitecture has led to Intel to fall off the top of the leading board, allowing AMD to take the top for 10 years. Now with 65nm, Intel is back to the top again! Grats Intel! These 65nm CPU will no longer based on NetBurst. Intel learnt its lesson from its world's renowned Intel Pentium M. Some background ... Intel Pentium M is first built and designed by a group of engineers in Intel's Wafer factory located in Isreal. Pentium M is known for its low power consumption and best performer in CPU history. Now they used Pentium M structure to built its desktop CPU. Bravo! Hers comes its new CPUs! Codenamed Conroe (for desktops) and Woodcrest (for servers)
Conroe:
- E6300 (1.83GHz), E6400 (2.13GHz), E6600 (2.4GHz), E6700 (2.63GHz), X6800 (2.93GHz) [X6800 is an Extreme Edition for Conroe]
- FSB 1066 (266MHz)
- TDP ~ 65W
- Supported by chipset 975X, P965, G965, Q965 and Nvdia Nforce 590 SLI
- E6300 and E6400 (2MB L2 shared), E6600 to X6800 (4MB L2 shared)
Conroe XE (Xtreme Edition) is yet to be announced, carry X8xxx. FSB (Front Side Bus) 1333. Speed about 3.33GHz
Blogger's opinion: If u are in tight budget and yet want to have an excellent CPU from Intel, choose E6300 and overclock it. Sources have stated that it can be overclocked to about more than 3GHz, exceeding the performance of E6600.
Woodcrest:
- Dual-core
- FSB 1333
- Server type
- 5000 series: 5130 (2.0GHz), 5140 (2.33GHz), 5148 (2.33GHz), 5150 (2.66GHz), 5160 (3.0GHz)
- 4MB L2 cache shared using Intel Smart Cache technology
