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.
Looks like a German dental tool.
Actually, the Germans are known for their skill with machined parts and their engineering prowess.
This looks more like a dental tool from .
Now before you mod me a troll for bringing up Soviet Russia again, let me teach you something. In Soviet Russia, a manufacturing facility's productivity was measured not by the number of units sold, or by customer satisfaction. It was measured by the quantity of raw materials used. The problem with this, is that quality immediately goes down the toilet, and raw material consumption goes through the roof. A soviet era farm tractor, was so unreliable - but contained so much steel - that when Jonev Vladstov (That's John Doe in Russian) bought a tractor, it was worth MORE if he melted it down and sold the steel than it was as a tractor! That's called 'negative value-add' in the economic world, and that's why those old 'In Soviet Russia...' jokes use role reversal as their humor mechanism - because Soviet Russia really was backwards.
Intel Tejas. There. Now this post is not off topic.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
That's about $10/month; similar to the cost of adding a movie channel or two to your cable subscription. Something to think about for those that will use this CPU to volunteer for distributed number crunching projects.
And it also may approach the heating capacity of an AMD chip
No. It's much higher. The 'super-hot Athlon' preconception is way way out of date. It was true comparing Athlon "Thunderbirds" with PIIIs, but hasn't been true since the P4 - the 2GHz Willamette and 3.2GHz Northwoods both dissipate more power than any Athlon.
The first Pentium was a stripped-together combination of 2 486-like CPUs
No. You're trying to describe superscalar-ness but not succeeding. The Pentium was the first superscalar x86, having two integer pipelines. All modern x86 CPUs are superscalar (except the VIA C3). Superscalar-ness is not CMT/multicore. CMT appears as multiple CPUs to software.

So it looks like it will come in in 2005 instead of the original 2H 2004. It'll have 24k L1 instead of 8k or 16k like current and prescott have. When it is made at 65nm insteadof 90nm it'll have 2megs L2 instead of 1meg.
It should start eventually run as high as 5Ghz. Maybe that is on the 65nm process years from now? Bus speed should be 1066Mhz (266*4) or 1200.
It should have some new instructions in order to make life harder for AMD.
Fortunately for AMD Prescott was already supposed to be shipping at 3.8Ghz, but Intel is a bit behind on their road map too
