New Pentium Chipsets Launched

Posted by Zonk on from the we-have-the-technology dept.

MojoDog writes "Today Intel has officially taken the wraps off their new mainstream Pentium D 820 Processor and i945 Express series chipsets. Additionally, they also cranked up the Pentium 4 6XX sequence line-up to include the new Pentium 4 670 at 3.8GHz. The Pentium D 820 is Intel's new dual core CPU clocked at 2.8GHz, which contains two Prescott cores per die but doesn't support HyperThreading like the Pentium Extreme Edition 840. The i945 is their new mainstream PCI Express based chipset, one version of which has Integrated Graphics and both supporting these new dual core CPUs. Additionally, Intel took their Pentium 4 6XX sequence processor, based on the Prescott 2M core, for a speed bump to 3.8Ghz."

    I hope someday some unknown guy owns up in the real world to posting on here. That day will be the greatest ever. For if I meet any of you /. commentors or mods in real life and you act you like you guys behave online, like crying nerdy prepubescent fucktards, I will repeatedly punch you in the face. That is all.

    I am sill amazed that the basic ingredient in these things (aside from oodles and oodles of smarts) is something I used to eat everytime my parents took me to the beach when I was a baby.

    Most of the software issues this guy cites as his reasons can be found on every hardware platform and every operating system. I've probably seen an equal number of really bad software on the Mac as I have seen on any WinTel based OS.

    As far as the hardware issues....well, MacOS ran differently on just about every Mac. I'm sure there have been improvements, but I couldn't just take MacOS from my Mac laptop and load it on a desktop. I could do this, however, with Windows or Linux. The memory problem he cites is going to be a problem on a Mac too. The only thing he gets away from is the motherboard clones, but that could be good or bad.

    In short, there is no easy solution for the complex needs of computing. There will always be work to do to get the required stability, regardless of software or hardware platform.

    Dang it that's right. America is the greatest country on Earth and we need to protect our borders. Damn. America uses it's God blessed technologies to spy on it's own citizens and those of other countries. It is perfectly acceptable to stop those darn yellow chinks from having America's blessed Intel chips. Damn. Damn. We need to lock up more terrorists because microprocessors from Intel that have the horsepower to do nuclear simulations are illegal. Bittorrent is also illegal and could be used by terrorists to download copies of American films. damn.

    Our founding fathers like John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart who beat and raped and tortured the savage red indian invaders of our god blessed land would turn in their graves if they new chinese terrorists could buy microprocessors from Intel which have the horsepower to do nuclear simulations.
