First Look At Intel Tejas & Socket 775

Anonymous Indian writes "The snoops at Anandtech have unearthed some details and photos of Intel's rumored Tejas 90nm CPU which draws 150 watts of power, a 50% jump compared to Prescott. It's also got an interesting locking mechanism instead of the traditional metal clip from hell for most processors." There's not much info beyond the photos, but it's still interesting to see what lies ahead for Intel.

Re:So much power

So much power use from the first 90nm process cpu? There can be only one reason for this... the rumored twin core intel CPU. Let's see how hyperthreading run's on THIS baby!

Mod parent as troll.

Hyperthreading and dual core are two different thing. Hyperthreading places two execution units with the same CPU core. It doesn't work very well. Dual core cpu's have two complete cpu cores inside one 'chip' package. Effectively, a dual-cpu machine 'on-a-chip'.
