First Penryn Core 2 Chips Top At 3.33GHz

Yeah and the magical diamond cooling system. AMD is in trouble.

By the way what is the limit to the size of the cpu?

don't forget that 2 ghz phenom is prety much a low end of phenom, they will release higher clocks later on...

Remember, all of this "released clockspeed" stuff is rumor.. and much of it old... much of it could change.. or it could get worse.. AMD is unusually quiet.

Reliable production is the only physical limitation really...

But for realistic purposes, smaller die = cheaper = better in so many ways

think only amd uses native quad and integrated memory controller

and 16 mb on chip memory aswell

3.33Ghz on a conroe already murders every stock clocked AMD processor... poor amd

Yes die shrink will dramatically decrease temperatures but reduce the temperature tolerance. Also it decreases wafer costs which means intel doesnt have to pay so much.

a die shrink ALONE will NOT decrease temp only lower the volts will drop the temps run 2 amds a 130nm newcastle and 90nm venice side by side both at same clocks and volts will have THE SAME TEMP (within a 1 to 2C diff in temp)

is their a penryn core dual core?

LOL!

Wolfdale sounds a lot cooler to me than Penryn :rockout:

I'm sorry but does anyone else smell the stench of AMD fanboy in here?

Is Core 2 about to top out (GHz)? Very few processors (whatever the architecture) can get a lot higher than 3-4GHz without fancy sub-zero liquid cooling.

What is the next performance trick?

Power 7 will come in at 6GHz stock

Edit:
I've been subjugated to the sleeper effect.

Power6 can reach 6GHz on air, but the initial release was at 4.7GHz.

no BUT OTHER THAN FLAME BAIT..

idk i just like the word penryn....idk though i dont think ill go 775 the exp iv had with those HSF have not been fun but maybe i will idk i really want a penryn i just dont see the reasoning for 4 cores (fanboyism were?) but eaither way penryn or wolfdale the preformance will be amazing

Intel

I just think pple should just accept the fact that intel has the superior product right now and quit arguing or trying to find any little minor defect. 2 years ago I was perfectly happy with my San Diego + Nforce4 Ultra cos it was cheaper+faster....period. right now intel kicks ass and will do so for a few years till amd gets their head out their ass and builds a better platform. anyways what I think is just mind blowing is a stock quad core wolfdale with 12mb, l2 cache 1333FSB and 3.3ghz core

I still think that Opteron is far superior in massively SMP applications, and IBM and Sun Microsystems agree (yes, that statement should be the other way round

)

I think it's dangerous to think about this in black and white. One is superior in some ways which make it superior for my particular application, would be a more accurate way of stating it. Judge each on merit in your particular application, instead of just judging on hearsay, PR, and overgeneralised and uselessly vectorised benchmarks.
