From TechReport: "Intel's mobile Core 2 Duo will mark the last of Intel's major summer introductions when it hits stores next month. It may begin replacing its predecessor, the Core Duo, rather quickly, as well. Industry sources quoted by DigiTim…

Quote: Originally posted by mwswami I agree, except I want to clarify the power consumption bit. Most of the Woodcrest line is 65W; 5160 is 80W, and 5148 is 40W. This doesn't mean that Clovertown will be 130W (65x2) to 160W (80x2). It will be mor…

Quote: Originally posted by jbaker78 There is a little confusion as to what is Clovertown, from all the reports I have read, its not a replacement for Woodcrest but intended to be at the very top end of the line up. Clovertown is 4 cores but on t…

Both Woodcrest and Clovertown are only DP (Dual Processor) capable. But, there may also be a Clovertown-MP** coming down the pipe- a multi-processor (> 2 sockets) version of Clovertown. Details are sketchy. We have to wait till the Intel deve…

Clovertown and Kentfield are coming end of this year. See this TechReport article. "Clovertown is essentially two Woodcrests together on a single package, for what Intel is calling the first "quad-core" processor. Like Dempsey, Clovertown will pr…

The details of the Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme are now available on Intel.com.

Aah, I know what the confusion is regarding Clovertown not being MP capable. While reading Intel Xeon Processor Numbers at Intel.com, I discovered that Intel makes a distinction between DP (dual processor) and MP (multi processor, >2 capable)…

Quote: Originally posted by JeffDM You heard somewhat wrong. Merom will do more for less power, but merom has a few more watts on the max power rating, something like 34W vs. Yonah's 31W. The data sheets aren't up yet, but I don't expect the id…

Quote: Originally posted by JeffDM I think you have to keep in mind that generation of quad core is not much different than two Woodcrest dies stitched together in one package, and that this is a very high performance chip. The Kentsfield will p…
