Intel Launches New Pentium Extreme Edition 965

RL-20 II Rider writes "Although Intel is hard at work readying their next-gen Conroe core for a proposed 2H '06 release, it seems engineers at the company are still improving upon the existing 65nm Presler core. This review of the brand-new 3.73GHz Pentium Extreme Edition 965 dual-core processor shows that the CPU is based on a new stepping of the Presler core that runs cooler and overclocks higher than older chips, while consuming a bit less power as well."

  1. "965?" by Guppy06 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is that the number of amps it pulls down or the number of watts in heat it puts out?

    No, no, no. "A Beowolf Cluster of these" reference might be obligatory. Or perhaps the fact that all our base are belong to these new chips might also apply.

    A Spaceballs reference on slashdot, though? Naw... not obligatory.

    Actually, it's a reference to something outside of the usual targets on Slashdot, which makes it an oddity anyway. You should be proud. Prefixing something with "Obligatory" usually means you've put up a roadside sign saying, "There is no originality beyond this point! Nothing funny to see here"
