Nehalem News: Intel's Bloomingdale processor rumours
William Henning - Friday, June 27th, 2008 | 10:06AM (PT)


Warp speed ahead...

Fudzilla claims to have the final Nehalem specs:

  • 3.2GHz will be the highest initial speed grade
  • four cores
  • two threads per core
  • triple channel memory
  • DDR3-1333 will be the maximum official memory speed at 3.2GHz
  • 6.4GT/s QPI transactions per second
  • 8MB of total cache
  • 130W TDP
  • LGA1366 socket
  • Q4 2008 launch

The "6.4GT/s transactions" for the QuickPath Interconnect may refer to 3.2GT simultaneous input and output transactions; and it is interesting to see that it will be launched at the same clock speed as the top Penryn - Intel must be confident in the architectural improvements getting at least a 15%-20% performance advantage to launch at the same clock speed.

In a second article, Fudzilla says two other Nelahems will also be released, a "low end" model at 2.66GHz, and a "medium" model at 2.93GHz.

I'm realling hoping that they did a better job with Hyper Threading this time around, from what I hear it's nothing great on the Atom and it was absolutely god awful on the P4.

If they haven't then this release is absolutely pointless in terms of gaining ground. If they want to do it right they'll probably end up at the door of IBM trying to get it done as it should instead of just trying to emulate what they did.
