Performance gains will be larger than 20% per watt for SSE2/3 and 64bit optimized code because of the extra registers and the wider architecture. Merom is rumored to have a TDP of 34W, up from 31W for Yonah. So at the same clockspeed, gains will …

Quote: Originally posted by laughingman Well that's an overly simplistic way of looking at it. Apple's claim of around 200% performance is strictly from a SPECint and SPECfp perspective. Those benchmarks are synthetic, but reflect general purpose…

We will definitely see Woodcrest in PowerMacs and Xserves. Current PowerMacs and XServes recently got support for ECC memory. Conroe will not support ECC while Woodcrest will so unless Apple drops ECC memory support (highly unlikely), you will defin…

Dual quadcore Kentsfield/Clovertown. That's eight cores in one box. After that, we'll get dual eight-core Yorkfield/Hapertown for 16 cores in one box. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_N...roarchitecture Yonah is actually a stop-gap (re: dead…

SDW, I thought you were a capitalist.

Old news.

Nothing beats the original Apple Extended or an IBM Model M.

I think ThinkSecret meant 1280x800 which is 30% more pixels than the 14.1" iBook.

I have heard similar stories from some friends in California, although nothing as concrete. Apparently, Apple wants something more than Mac OS X to differentiate itself from the sexy hardware of the likes of Sony and Levono. A flash drive may mak…

January 6 has been confirmed to be the Yonah launch date. http://www.cooltechzone.com/index.ph...k=view&id=2064

Some more wonderful benchmarks showing the superiority of ATI's new line: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...-x1000_38.html

The Fast and Furious. I walked out of the theater on that one.

Keep in mind Yonah is a stop-gap until Merom. Yonah is simply a extension of the very mature Dothan microarchitecture. Merom is the first chip of Intel's next generation micorachitecture and is rumored to clock similarly to Yonah but offer over 50% …

Quote: Originally posted by dojobi Same speeds actually. The X2 3800+ runs at 2GHz. Anyway, clock speed is irrelevant these days with so many architectures. Since it's a notebook chip I also expected better power consumption. For a 65nm notebo…
