Details of New Intel Dunnington and Nehalem Architectures Leaked
Daily Tech is reporting that details about Intel's new processor models were leaked over the weekend. Both the six core Dunnington and Nehalem architectures were featured in this leak. "Dunnington includes 16MB of L3 cache shared by all six processors. Each pair of cores can also access 3MB of local L2 cache. The end result is a design very similar to the AMD Barcelona quad-core processor; however, each Barcelona core contains 512KB L2 cache, whereas Dunnington cores share L2 cache in pairs. [...] Nehalem is everything Penryn is -- 45nm, SSE4, quad-core -- and then some. For starters, Intel will abandon the front-side bus model in favor of QuickPath Interconnect; a serial bus similar to HyperTransport."
Sounds like good names to be used in a D&D game!
Sir Dunnington against the evil lich lord Nehalem!
They could have gone to 3 cores, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do, but they said "Fuck it, we're going to six". What part of this don't you understand? If two cores is good, and four cores is better, obviously six cores would make them the best fucking CPU that ever existed.

/I'm just waiting for the day Intel says "this one goes to 11"
[Fuck Beta]
o0t!
Still doesn't run Crysis.
QuickPath: because Intel doesn't adopt standards... it rewrites them.
Does it go to 11?
Karma Whoring for Fun and Profit.
your forgetting the L1 cache, maybe 128-256 KB per core... thats up to another meg and a half!
Don't call me back. Give me a call back. Bye. So yeah. But bye our, well, but alright we are on a shirt this chill.
Which kind of puts in perspective just how long Duke Nukem Forever has been in development. It's almost getting to the point where the CPU alone meets the minimum requirements for RAM.
