Quick screen capture of the entire (tiny) article here

The GDM link points to here (japanese)

The Xeon roadmap link points to another vr-zone article here (probably also slashdotted)

Kinda contentless, apart from the pic.

I had found an interesting article exposing the innards of the 775 pin Prescott -- see it here

It looks like the AMD chips just don't overclock as well as the Intel ones do,...

I cannot infer it from those OCDBs (and was about to shop for AMD for the first time ever):

Intel 875P MCH is built on the FCBGA package that allows Dual Channel 4 layers PCB and is 37.5mm2 in size and has 932 pins count. Interestingly, 875P and 865P/PE/G share the same core and the only difference is that 875P falls on the right side of the manufacturing curve.

Intel has specially selected the top quality chips that falls on the right side and separate from the rest and ran through a series of comprehensive tests to ensure robust operation for the 875P chipsets. As for the rest, they would be branded as Springdale chipsets and sold off cheaper. The chipset timings of the 875P are improved to allow faster memory access and lower latency therefore we can expect 875P to be faster than 865PE/G.

Rumor nothing. The stripped-down version of the Pentium M, called the Mobile Celeron 600A, is used in the Sony U101 subnotebook. See here or here (use babelfish or just check out the screenshot) for some info on the CPU. And you can order one in the US from Dynamism or Japan Rush.

that the only truly efficient cooling system is liquid nitrogen in a styrofoam cup!

Theres no answer to your question. Everything depends on the way you use your machine. A processors power consumption depends, among others, on the processing load. In most modern OSs (I dont know if it applies to Netware, but am sure that it applies to 2000/XP and Linux), when the kernel notices theres nothing to process, it issues a HLT instruction, replacing idle cycles with a suspend mode. Then not only the processor takes less energy, but it also cools down.

For older Windows versions, there are some programs that cool down the processor, thus lowering power consumption.

So the power consumption depends on you OS, how you use your machine, etc, etc. But lets face it. Nobody really cares to [desktop] computer consumption, because it usally takes more money to build a low power PC than the savings itd result in a lifetime.

For instance, the cost difference between a $159 17" CRT and a 15" LCD, wich takes less power, simply would be enough to pay you computer power bill for years, IMO. And also, do you really think server monitors should be turned on 24x7 ? The server probably will be locked in a room. Get a cheap CRT and simply turn it off when not using. Its much cheaper.

Unfortunatly the pencil trick will not work for XP processors (including the new Duron).

Try 2.8 GHz

Or why not 3.0!

I find it amusing that Tom's Hardware went through "
several dead processors" before they figured this out. Especially since other hardware sites had posted this a week or two ago. Guess they had to read the articles and find out how to do it.

Check out VR Zone's method. Much better and reversible.
