New Intel CPU's & Nehalem rumours
William Henning - Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 | 1:21PM (PT)


Competition is good for the consumer :-)

The Register reports that Intel is introducing some entry level processors:

  • Core 2 Quad - Q8200 - 45nm, 2.66GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB L2 cache for $224
  • Core 2 Duo - E5200 - 45nm, 2.5GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache for $84
  • Celeron D - 450 - 65nm, 2.2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 512KB L2 cache for $53

Fudzilla says he has gotten a hold of some Bloomfield prices:

  • Core i7 @ 3.2GHz, QPI @ 6.4 for $999 in Q4
  • Core i7 @ 2.93GHz, QPI @ 4.8, 8MB cache, $530+
  • Core i7 @ 2.66GHz, QPI @ 4.8, 8MB cache $284

And later he says that Core i7's will only support DDR3 800 and DDR3 1066 - a far cry from the high speed DDR3's on the market. Apparently this may be due to a requirement to run the DDR3 modules at the CPU core voltage, which is capped at 1.65V, which is lower than the voltage needed by high speed DDR3 modules.

What is this requirement I hear of?

Can someone give me a technical reason why this is?

Can you not run the i7's with any DDR2 either? After seeing this, the i7's don't seem very appealing.
