I was wondering if any of you had this issue with the Intel 4600 (4770K) driver whereby it makes core 1 spike to 100%. When I login to windows, I have no mouse and the keyboard lags. Sometimes the sound is garbled. I broke out my trusty 9800 GT, installed the drivers and disabled the Intel...

I have a question that i have been thinking about (hope this is in the right section) What is harder to make? DRAM, NAND or logic (i.e CPUs, etc) The ITRS uses DRAM half pitch for its projections, but if you look at 2012, it calls for a half pitch of 32nm. Intel has been using the 32nm...

Does anyone have this phone or know how good it is? http://szhrfkj6090.diytrade.com/sdp/406783/4/pd-2192486/4591380-1098877.html It's $150 shipped and i need a new phone and the specs of this one look really good. It's a HTC clone and i want to get one.

I've been reading around and it seems like Intel's processors use more power when it comes to idle but on load they are pretty close to spec. Why do Intel's CPUs use more power then AMDs when it comes to DBS and Enhanced SpeedStep?

I've heard it said that channel pricing is 30-50% lower then retail prices. Makes sense as system builders need to make some profit. I talked to a channel partner and the price that she quoted from her vendor was like $10 (including S&H) more expensive then the retail. Why is that? Is there...

http://www.dailytech.com/Article.aspx?newsid=4253 Basically, the main thing to walk away with after reading the article is that Clovertown based Xeons will have a 1.33 GHz FSB and Kentsfield based ones will have a 1.066 GHz FSB. Pricing is very competitive with the top end costing $1172...

Intel's G965 was supposed to be really good. Poncho said that based on what other people at Intel said that the G965 is pretty fast. So if this (http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33660) review inaccurate. It seems that the stuff that a lot of sites report is actually old news/older...

Intel accelerates shipment date of its Opteron beater "Tulsa" Wolfgang Gruener June 12, 2006 10:04 The Associated Press (AP) is reporting that Intel has moved up the shipment of its Tulsa processor, which will succeed the current Xeon MP 7000 series with Paxville core. Instead of making...

Has anyone heard anything about a C1 stepping for Conroe? I was on XS and someone mentioned it. I know some people don't like XS that much and stuff, but i was wondering if it was indeed in the works or if it was false information.

Yeah, so the question is self explanitory... Basically from current information, Intel is giong shrink the Conroe family's die to the 45nm process. They are only going to increase the L2 cache by 50% so there's quite a bit of die space left... I know it's not an IMC being that it's due...

IF YOU FOLLOW server and workstation processors at all, you probably have a sense that Intel's Xeon has been having some trouble competing with AMD's Opteron. Intel is looking to reverse its fortunes in the server and workstation markets with a series of new products designed to take on the...

Intel claims that the 45nm process will have a 30% reduction in power and a 20% boost in switching speed (http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/tradeshows/2006/IDF/Keynote1/45nm.jpg). Which is similar to that of the 90 to 65nm process shrink. Does that mean that they are not using tri-gate? A...

theinq talks about how AMD is talking to clearspeed about making co-processors for its opteron processors (http://theinquirer.net/?article=30318) and being that these clearspeed cores can crank out like 25 gflops, it would be a great advantage for AMD. Does Intel have similiar plans?

Samsung's site says that DDR2 is by default 16 bit. (http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/XDR_RDRAM/index.htm) Does that mean all of the DDR sticks that we buy are by default quad channel? And if so, could we not get more performnace using rambus?

One of the features that i liked about the NetBurst core was the rapid execution engine; something that double clocked the ALU allowing operations to be done in half a clock cycle. Will such features come to conroe successors? I think it would be really great if upcoming processors obtained the...

From the way it seems, Intel has been talking a lot about dual core processors and the whole Merom lines as if it they are Intel's saviour. But what about XeonMP? If i am not mistaken the only strong product that Intel will have to fight back with the Tulsa and then Tigerton. Am i mistaken? AMD...

There was a lot of information during IDF about Intel not releasing 8 core processors in 2008. Are they still going to be released in 2008?

umner Lemon, IDG News Service Wednesday, March 01, 2006 An upcoming Intel quad-core Xeon server processor, codenamed Clovertown, likely contains two dual-core chips in a single package, according to an industry analyst, who warned the processor may not offer a significant boost in...

I know that Intel did not implement HT in the conroe lines, but I do know that they said that in the future, we will see processor cores that can crank out 8 threads at once (that's per core). When can we expect to see that? It's a fad in the market now, having one core being able to process...

What is the point of Tulsa when Tigerton is supposed to be out around 2007? It seems like a waste to put out a dual core processor based on an older core when you have a quad core processor coming out like a moth or two after it. I've heard that the Tigerton processor will be out around the same...

Who is excited about tri-gate? It's a new transistor that Intel says it's going to use for the 45nm process. Basically: "Further advances at Intel, like trigate transistors will essentially place transistor interconnects on a 3D grid instead of a 2D one - allowing for much higher...

Intel core names are getting odder and odder and so i'm trying to figure out how to prounounce them so i don't like like a complete idiot. (e.g i thought the Opteron was proundounce Opter ton) so yeah. How do you pronounce Yonah? - I say it like Jonah but with a Y. Merom - i say it like...

So, i found this diagram online... It says 5.3 GB/sec reading/controller (there seems to be 4 of them). Is it dual channel DDR2 400 - 6.4 GB/sec and only 5.3 GB/sec is reserved for reading? x86 secrets talks about an XMB and an IMC. What are they? is the XBM a memory controller...

It does not seem like Intel to just dump HT, and being that IBM and Sun both have HT type technologies all of which are pretty effective, do you think the Conroe series will have HT? Its got enough cache and has a longer pipeline then the Pentium-M series and seems to be more efficient to...

I posted this on XFN also. I'm not claiming to be an expert or anything, just a nerd. :D So, lately there has been a lot of news about Intel canceling Whitefield and basically shooting themselves in the foot. From an outsiders standpoint, it sounds like a tragic loss and it is. Whitefield...

I've posted a blog at Atomicfire.net about a week ago, and although i've asked for suggestions from several forums and I haven't gotten much feedback. So, i figured with an average of 90 million viewers a day, thought i would ask you guys. Here is the link to the blog...

Hi, my sister is an art major and has to work with some cad stuff which takes around 8 hours to render (if i'm using the wrong terms, sorry). She has a Compaq with an AthlonXP 2600+ and 256 MB of RAM. Recently, i was given a Compaq based on a 2.7 GHz Celeron with 512 MB of RAM. I saw this...

I’ve asked this questions in three different forums (Xoxide Forums, overclockers forums, and Techreport forums) and have gotten two different responses: yes and no. I googled NIC load balancing and there was software that allowed me to do that. Problem is that is costs around $500 per copy which...

hi, recently i got this toolbar alot and i cant get rid of it. i've tried everything. the follow link leads you to xoxide forums where i've stumped everyone else and it should give you a pretty good idea what i've tried http://www.xoxideforums.com/showthread.php?t=44380

This is really starting to really bug me. Heres whats going on. I have an AthlonXP 2600+ (mobile) at stock speeds on water. Its at 98 degrees F idle!!! When overclocked, it hits around 120 degrees F on load!!! Whats going on and how do I fix this? I have a HydorL20, HydorL30, a 1978 Chevy...

I have compilied a collection of heatercores for my last revision of watercooling. The problem is that my third heatercore (1977 Chevy Impala) leaked when it was given to me. I want to use the heatercore. I made a thread here (http://www.xoxideforums.com/showthread.php?t=36798) and wanted to...
