INTEL 65NM TECHNOLOGY - POWER MANAGEMENT ISSUES

[Wolfe]

For the Intel 65nm Technology CPU's (6x1, 9xx), did all the Power Management
Issues get fully resolved on these CPU's? Is Power Management now fully up &
running on 65nm Technology Intel CPU's?

What a buncha goofs at Intel...

This page lists the various processor numbers.

http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/index_sitelet_view2.htm

Under Pentium D, the EIST column contains tick marks for the
900 series. Most people would think a tick mark means "fully
meets this specification". Yet, there is a note at the bottom
of the page:

"Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology for specified units of
this processor will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2006.
See the Processor Spec Finder at http://processorfinder.intel.com
or contact your Intel representative for more information."

I guess that means if you buy the processor now, Intel will swap
you a good one in Q2/2006

I think the advice they offer, to check
http://processorfinder.intel.com is a good idea. On
there, if you list the Pentium D processors, they give
the status for them.

I hope this means they'll have the guts to issue a different
model number for the fixed designs later in the year.

Is that the info you were looking for, or were you more interested
in "do they run hot" ?

Thanks.

It looks like anyone who buys 65 nm technology now will literally have a
REALLY HOT processor on their hands!!!

90 nm may be old[er] technology, but AT LEAST EVERYTHING WORKS!!!
