Intel sie zalamal widzac zwyciestwo AMD Athlon64 (32/64 bit)
Intel Nocona foretells 64-bit desktop CPUs ?
Thursday 24 June 2004
Intel’s planned launch of its next-generation Xeon processor, codenamed
Nocona, next week has stirred a wave of market reports that the chipset giant
may soon come out with a 64-bit desktop chip, according to sources at
Taiwanese PC makers.
The Nocona chips will be available at clock speeds of 2.8, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and
3.6 GHz. The Nocona will be Intel’s first chip that incorporates the EM64T
(extended memory 64 technology) that will allow servers and workstations to
run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, said the sources.
The Nocona, built using a 90nm process, features a 1MB of level 2 cache and
an 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB).
Local PC makers pointed out that Intel has a record of developing its chips
for Pentium 4 and Xeon processors with the same code and that the expectation
for a Nocona-based Pentium 4 chip for desktops is not groundless.
Some makers speculated that Intel may launch a 64-bit desktop-use chip by the
end of the third quarter.
