- Man, Intel is really pushing ahead. I wonder if they're ramping up this hard to try and deliver a hard blow to AMD. 25 watts, dual core? Niiiiiiiice.

- more like they're flooding a market then giving people choice.
25W dual core isn't that big or special, merom T7xxx's only have 34-35W TDP. Merom ULV's only have a 10-17W TDP. AMD on the other hand are still head of the game with lowest TDP with Sempron 9W TDP and others in their range compared to current competition both in desktop and server. -

What is it with this 'Intel hate' - fanboys, the reason why I don't purchase AMD products because their approach to open source developers is "**** off, we don't give a crap about you". Themajority of us have decided to go Intel and nVidia as a result.
If AMD choose to align themselves with open source haters such as BroadCom and put out half-assed drivers such as their graphics cards, they've only got themselves for their declines in profits. -

Intel is hated around here? You're insane sir. -

Who the bloody hell suggested that? follow the conversation for goodness sake.

Same here. I've got one Core2 Duo (1.8GHz), one Pentium D (2.8GHz) one AMD Athlon XP 3000, one Pentium M Laptop (1.4 GHz) and an iMac (poopie G3). I need to upgrade.

- Intel is just so far ahead, its amazing. I love my core 2 duo, but I can't imagine what a 32 nm processor would be like. They'll probably overclock like mad.

- yeah intel is far ahead now... but from around the time athlons came out (2000-2001ish?) til about mid 2006 AMD was king.
hopefully by the time i build my next pc... amd will be back on top
cause it aint like intel needs the money. -

I've never understood brand loyalty... go with whatever is the best...

- Jeez. 32nm. If they get much smaller, they'll be dealing with quantum weirdness in their CMOS circuits....

#6 Posted by Izlude on 19 Sep 2007 - 00:26
- 32nm??? but the blitz extreme says it'll support the 45nm cpus when they come out... things are moving along too quickly.
Well this gives ASUS a chance to make a board like the Blitz extreme and Striker extreme, but better! They'd better put the street lights back in their next board :o The blitz is ugly. Oh oh and it should come with a cpu water block this time, cuz the blitz only came with water cooling for the chipset bridges. I can't wait!!!!

- Does anyone else see the Irony in intel's statement of "true to life entertainment and real-life graphics capabilities."?
Since when have general CPU's ever outpaced a dedicated graphics card? Even intels fastest Quad Core would get trounced in graphical operations by whatever ATI/Nvidia has out at the moment. And they're still on 90nm.
Intel currently uses a 65-nm process to manufacture chips, but the company’s future processors built using the 45-nm include its Penryn processor, due in November, and Silverthorne and Nehalem processors, slated to appear early and in the second half of next year, respectively. In the first public demonstration of the Nehalem processor, Otellini said it will deliver better performance per watt and better system performance through its QuickPath Interconnect system architecture, which will include an integrated memory controller and improved communication links between system components. Otellini also announced a Penryn dual-core processor operating at 25 watts that will be available on the upcoming Montevina platform, which will also include WiMax technology. To meet multiple computing needs, Otellini said Intel also plans to introduce 15 new 45-nm processors by the end of the year and 20 in the first quarter of 2008.
