Oblivion Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Tejas, Jayhawk, Tulsa Sacrificed for Dual-Core Chips Intel confirmed Friday that it cancelled the Tejas, Jayhawk and Tulsa microprocessors originally scheduled for the year 2005 launch. Now the company promises to deliver dual-core chips across all market segments next year. Intel claims that it will have top-to-bottom families of dual-core microprocessors next year. The plans now include Itanium 2 chip ?Montecito? for mission-critical enterprise servers as well as dual-core products for mobile computers, desktop computers and typical mainstream servers. Dual-core processors can process two times more data per clock and handle more than one threads at once. This allows the whole system to perform a lot better under high load when running multiply processors. The new chips for desktops will fit into the platform guidance submitted by Intel for its 2005 products before. Therefore, on the chipset level the new desktop dual-core processors are expected to be compatible with Grantsdale (i915), Alderwood (i925X) and Lakeport chipsets that are anticipated to roll out in 2004 and 2005. It is not clear whether the chips will fit into Socket T infrastructure. An Intel spokesman emphasized that the changes in plans are done in order to offer better solutions for customers, as dual-core chips typically perform better than single-core microprocessors. There were no issues with Tejas, Jayhawk and Tulsa, he said. The representatives declined to comment on actual performance and estimated benchmark results for the dual-core chips. Originally dual-core microprocessors from Intel were scheduled for very late 2005 or 2006 introduction. But lately Intel discovered that there is a possibility to roll them out already next year at the time when Tejas should have been here. Even though it is logical to expect Intel to offer dual-core chips for desktops, mobiles and servers that share the same micro-architecture, Intel?s official declined to comment on architecture-specific questions. There are rumours that all chips are to feature Pentium M-like architecture. X-Bit Labs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexor Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 But are they going to keep the same socket T as for Presscott? Or are they gonna change it agian? I hate indecision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 I sure hope my prescott doesnt go out dated too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverUnknown Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 nice but i wonder how much this is going to cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radium Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 nice but i wonder how much this is going to cost Overpriced, as usual. If chip A is 50% smaller than chip B then chip A will be 50% cheaper (production cost)... but then you have research and things behind it too... so it will be overpriced from the beginning. You know Intel. ;) A singlecore CPU will cost 50% less than a dual-core CPU. That's also why larger caches increase the CPU price drastically. It will probobly cost just as much as Tejas would've. :D ...if everything about Tejas is true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyout Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 me wonders...isn't 2005 the same year AMD claims it will have dual processor cores produced too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexor Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 me wonders...isn't 2005 the same year AMD claims it will have dual processor cores produced too? yep but AMD only gonna do it for Opterons (Socket 940, ECC RAM - the server chip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 sounds damn good, IMO. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Frosty Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Looks like intel wants to get in the big leagues with Sun and IBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 yep but AMD only gonna do it for Opterons (Socket 940, ECC RAM - the server chip) I'm planning a dual CPU Opteron if I manage to get that job tomorrow. Should be nice in 2005 then, upgrading to two dualcores... 4 CPUs, yeah :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
