New Pentium 5 Details - 5-7ghz?
zymano writes "This article gives some details on Pentium 5. It will have 64 bit extensions and maybe a 4000 mhz frontside bus. Quote from the article,'The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design. '"
Is it me or would you pronounce that "Nail 'em"? A dig at AMD perhaps?

... will it be able to do Math correctly?

'The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design. ' And raise the temperature of the room it's in by 50 Celsius.

First things first, people - Apple thinks this new chip is great and all, but what is its Photoshop filter performance?
This article is all speculation...
Ok here, um the next AMD processors will be faster than before, have more cache, maybe some new instructions [doworkNow! then doworkNow! (ext)].
I must be an AMD insider now, l33t l33t !

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
I still prefer AMD chips for some reason.

but will actually perform the same as a 2.5 GHz Athlon

Will it make coffee?
Windows will certainly get just as bloated and suck down all that speed and power. That's how it has always been, and always will be.
I'm waiting for the day that Microsoft Windows GUI will be fully raytrace/radiosity/photon map rendered.
I won't be happy unless I have a glass refracting mouse cursor made up of at least 64,000 triangles, updating at no less than 60fps. It had better be casting both a shadow and also focused light complete with chromatic aberation.
That'll show those OSX zealots!
War crimes, torture, lies, illegal spying... Would someone give Bush a blowjob, already, so he can be impeached?
I had a P5 back in 1996! And it could whip through Windows 95 like nobody's business.
If Windows can't do it alone, our IT department has a magic bag of software tools that'll finish the job. Maybe McAffee with double-dare mega hueristics wicked up full blast.
Intel: "Oh my god this is so AWESOME because we have super high gigahertzian-ness and you dooooooooon't!"
AMD: "Uh... We don't need GHz to keep up. That's what We have these new nifty + ratings eh?"
Intel: "Uh... HYPER-THREADING! WE'RE AWESOME!"
AMD: "And we have a better 64-bit processor than your dinky Itanium. It doesn't need to 'emulate'. What a bunch of idiots."
Intel: "OMG OMG! WE HAVE ULTRA 1337 SPEED! I MEAN 5-7 GHZ AND 4 GHZ FSB! I MEAN AREN'T WE COOL! 64-BIT EXTENSIONS!"
AMD: "... Shut up. Better yet, don't shut up. It's good for our business, because at least we're delivering."
The 4GHz bus does sound good, thought.
It's Intel, more likely to be 20x200 MHz...
Maybe their slogan should be "The Inquirer: All your baseless speculation are belong to us."
I'm wondering what type of PSU they're hooking this thing up to as well. I mean, at that speed and probably power consumption, we'll be seeing a whole new line of PSU's just to power the thing (not to mention needing a new video card to take advantage of it).
Wonder if I'll have to unplug my stove in order to allow my PC access to the ol' 220V, or perhaps I'll just ask my landlord for access to the MAINS.
Either way... I have this picture of the lights in my apartment dimming and my power meter suddenly spinning around at 60rpm...
When AMD's K6 came out following up on the massive name recognition of the K5 I was really looking forward to eventually being able to buy a K9. Think about the possible slogan: "Introducing the AMD K9. No fancy names, no gimmicks, just pure processing power that dogs the competition." Then when the K9 got older people would say "K9? Man, that slow-ass chip's a dog!" Yup, I was looking forward to both. AMD could have even made that robot dog thing from Dr. Who the mascot. But then AMD blew their chance by listening to some marketing twits and called the K7 the Athlon, whatever the hell that means--sounds sort of like someone sneezing right before they jump off a diving board.
I still bought one, though.
Can you name the OS with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..

Well, it goes real slow with the Pentium down, It's the operating system endorsed by a clown!
Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!

The Linux Users' commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for WAN or LAN use.

Well MY inside source tells me that Intel are ready to release the Pentium X, running at 50 Ghz and having a FSB of 25,000 Mhz.
.......... yes, yes ........ THEY'RE ON SALE NOW!
It has their patented uber-cool ultra-wizzer-extra-special 128-bit extensions, and it also has an expansion port that you can slap an extra processor on in case AMD releases a 256-bit processor in the meantime.
This thing is going to scream, baby! It will plug into existing Slot-1 motherboards, and will be built on a 2 nanometer process.
Microsoft are believed to already have a version of Windows running on the beast, with their new 'WTF That's Friggin Incredible Mate' extensions that go hand in hand with Intels 'Fuck Me If This Isn't A Faster Chip Than AMD Has' architecture.
Wait a moment
right I'm off to buy a 286
From zero to a superheated lump of useless plastic in only 3.25 seconds!!!!
Intel are apparently in negotiations with the Malaysian civil construction firm that built the Petronas Towers to develop the heat sinks for these little cookies...
