Tualatin-512 Benchmarks!!!

[ragiepew]

Snoop- The way they are going to do it is by not pushing it on the desktop... they are going to concentrate on the Mobile market for the most part. The desktop versions will come out about the time the p4 hits 2ghz and by then the new p3 wont beat it. Anyway, not sure how well it will do in a notebook (limited ram, HD speed, small cache, slow vid card, and other notebook issues like that) but they need something because I fear the mobile Athlon 4 "should" beat the mobile p3 on a clock/clock basis... no benches to prove it... just a hunch.

I wish Anand would do an article about it so we'd know if it'll run on my BX... If it can't, I'm just gonna wait and see what happens before making an upgrade...

<< isnt that similar to the tbird and athlon? >>


No the Tbird and athlon were succesions of a core design. Intel has a new design, that im afraid will be beaten (in some benchmarks) handily by their old design.

Tualatin will not run on a BX, nor will it run in any Socket 370 motherboard currently on the market. If it could, AMD would have a big reason to be scared. However, I don't see people dumping their old P3 motherboards for new ones just to use a chip that costs more than a P4. Mind you, I'm quite happy with the Tualatin's performance, but for an upgrader, it isn't a good choice at the current moment.

<< Tualatin will not run on a BX >>

. Are you sure? I keep seeing rumours from Asia that it does on some BX boards. However, so far I have seen no absolute proof either refuting or supporting those rumours.

Mith... don't forget that 'upgraders' who don't replace the motherboard, are a very, very small piece of the pie. So neither AMD nor Intel would be worried about that the competitor catoring (or not catoring) to that demographic.

I don't like the motherboard he used to do the test, he should at least try to use the same brand motherboard across all 3 processors.

Not bad, at 25 degrees with no load, no higher 30 degrees under full load.
