| Intel's next generation processors revealed These chips are going to give AMD a very hard time. They do almost everything right, and the one that they won't talk about for another week is called Cloverton. It is a four core, two Woodcrest die MCM, and it is slated for Q4 2006, probably early in that quarter. There was a JAB version on the drawing board, but that would have delayed it until after the quad K8, and that is unacceptable to Intel, so they are pulling it in at the cost of performance. I still am of the opinion that AMD will pip them with a quad core K8 even if volumes are not great. We will see. Now, why do I say that it will be not so hot on performance? Well, Woodcrest is set for a 1333FSB, which with a decent chipset like Blackford with its "DIB" will be about enough to keep it fed. The planned 1666FSB was pulled off the drawing board a while ago, so you can see what they were aiming for. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25349
