This is like a cycle that never ends, its almost if not impossible to keep up with the technology, you can buy the "newest and fastest" CPU or videocard as soon as is released but most likely are already working on a faster one thats they way they work .
No, they have more cache, higher FSB speed and higher clock speed and it will have SSE4 instruction
It will have 6MB of L2 cache (Quad core version have 12MB)
It will have a bus speed up to 1600MHz
It will have Clock speeds over 3GHz
45nm instead of 65nm
And the addition of SSE4 instruction
I've been following the 45nm's for awhile now. This new process is really pretty exciting. They will sport the newest advancement in transistor technology using "metal gates and the high-k gate dielectrics".
Also, Intel is currently putting the finishing touches on their "32nm plant" and will have their "28nm plant" ready for first part of 2008"
I can only image that the 32nm & 28nm will reach 1 billion transistors. The 45nm has reached about 860 Million transistors. And something insane like 300 million switches per second.
Can't wait for this, to drive down C2D prices for me....
My single core S939 3500+ Venice core cpu is still more than sufficient for anything that I have thrown at it.... well, I suppose folding times would increase with dual core & higher clocks....
