The important thing here is its not lovely. Is it terrible compared to a discrete option? yes. From the documentation its very much on par with current AMD on board offerings. However this is not targeted at you. Its for inexpensive PCs and businesses. e:fb

dud root posted:Also there are still 1366 CPUs due Q2/Q3 next year- 990x from memory, so flipping the production switch between Nehalem & Sandy Bridge will take all of 2011 I expect Is this confirmed? I held off on 1366 because it was built with a evolutionary dead endness in mind with the 6 core CPUs that were launched.

WhyteRyce posted:I moved my old Ninja cooler from a 775 board to a 1156 one. I took off the pins on the heatsink and used nylon screws and bolts to attach it to the board. If the holes line up, you can reused it. I don't know how reliable a Wikipedia article linked to VR Zone is, but it appears its hole comparable with 1366. A few motherboard makers figured out how to use hole compatible 775 HSF on 1156 motherboards with the same hardware. It does require extra engineering and some "high level OC capability" concessions, but its doable.

WhyteRyce posted:Won't the next line of Atom netbooks have better video decoding as well? Intel is advising OEMs to use a broadcomm chip to help flash video decoding. What IS interesting and most people will look over is AMD will be at every price point with OpenCL support, something that Intel has been ignoring for quite a while. (Perhaps they should of focused on that instead of x86 in the smart phone) If AMD can give the "Mac OS experience" to apple at all price points in the x86 arena, then this can be a small step forward for AMD. incoherent fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Nov 24, 2010 |

No, not really. Most games don't even use more then two physical cores. Engines even have issues: Source has wildly swinging levels of compatibility (L4D2 works great, TF2 still doesn't work properly). Starcraft 2 tops out at 2 cores. GTA4 would be the best example as its heavy in its multicore requirements. I'd want the proc for its sweet, sweet L3 cache.

One click update of ALL the drivers outside of windows, easy OS install staging area, manage iDRAC, RAID, network iSCSI boot. Not going to lie that poo poo is slow as all hell, but impressive.

Alereon posted:Anandtech has posted a summary of the Intel 2011 Investor Meeting. They're pushing REALLY hard to get their 32nm Atom SoC (Medfield) into smartphones, but this is an uphill battle as nobody would make a phone based on their 45nm Atom SoC (Moorestown). Nobody is going to touch a x86 platform without the operating system to go with it. It will be interesting to see how intel (going at it alone) is at porting honeycomb to x86. It should be noted the references to this port are larger tablets that could clock faster, not smartphones. Short of giving away the hardware or sweetheart bundling intels going to be out of this race for a generation or two.

It is looking like we'll see ivy bridge motherboards with thunderbolt ports very soon. I do hope intel doesn't arbitrarily lock out thunderbolt support to motherboards running IB CPUs and Panther Point. I'd really like a Panther Point motherboard and keep my 2600k.

You're going to have to explicitly and physically abuse the processor in order to invalidate this protection plan. If there are no defects that are visible (i.e. BURN MARKS) you are quite literally in the clear. gigabyte protection plan. E: Think of it this way: If you've never done overclocking, or you've done due diligence on the capabilities of your processor but were afraid to push it to that limit this is the plan for you. incoherent fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Jan 20, 2012 |

IB is unique as one mfg is shipping bioses with IB cpu support right now. However there is a caveat to IB support: It is not 100% guaranteed. If your motherboard mfg cheapen out on the bios chip, you are SOL. Intel is not above any of this as well. They've shipped motherboards that wouldn't support the next revision of a processor (conroes->wolfdale). I'd recommend getting the 2500k and keeping the board. Its a very respectable board.

Now that I think about it, bundling an SSD which is going to rapidly depreciate in value with a motherboard that might spend some time on a shelf is a pretty poor choice, I guess they're hoping to move these things quickly. Now they should sell a model where you can bring your own mSATA card.
