All Rights Reserved. endian00@endian.net http://endian.net/images/e_before_chip_small.jpg http://endian.net/ 109 50 http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4153 Mobile chip built in the 45 nm process. TDP only 0.6 - 2.6 , and can dip as low as 0.01W. Previously called Silverthorne. Single core draws 4W, while a dual core draws 8W. Tue, 8 Jul 2008 17:26:14 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=3646 Nehalem was a new design built using a 65 nm process with half the die size of a Northwood. Was supposed to use a 1200 MHz (or a 4 GHz bus as some rumours claim) bus and start at 9.60 GHz before continuing to 10 GHz+. Nehalem is now changed to be the name of the family succeeding Merom, Conroe and Woodcrest, which is 45nm and will include Whitefield, Gainstown and Bloomfield. The Nehalem platform will use the Tylersburg chipset Mon, 12 May 2008 00:55:49 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4211 Identical to Intel X38, but with official support for 1600 MHz FSB. Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:35:43 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4187 Chipset for Kentsfield, etc. Includes AMT (Active Management Technology), VT-d (Virtualization for Directed I/O) & LT (LaGrande Technology). Uses the ICH9DO south bridge. Part of the Weybridge platform. Previously called Bearlake. Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:34:37 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4206 New south bridge to use with Bearlake. Supports Conroe, Ridgefield, Allendale and Millville. Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:30:49 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4212 South bridge Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:27:53 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4210 Includes 40 stream processors, 64-bit memory interface and 128 or 256 MB of graphics RAM. Sat, 19 May 2007 12:15:05 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4084 PC-chip that shares a similar design to to the R500 for XBox2. Likely to support WGF. Delayed from earlier forecasts. Will be large, hot and fast... Equipped with 320 stream processors. Named ATI Radeon HD 2900 Tue, 8 May 2007 20:14:06 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4209 Mainstream card in the 8000-series. Previously known as G84. Tue, 8 May 2007 19:39:08 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4136 Graphics chip supporting DirectX 9.0L, DirectX 10, and shader model 4.0. Previously known as GeForce G80. Tue, 8 May 2007 19:18:05 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=3883 Mobile processor succeeding Prescott-M and Yonah built on a 65 nm process. Accompanied by the Crestine chipset. Recent rumours claim that Merom is a major new core design with multiple cores and, depending on version, 2-4 MB of cache, which will also form the base for the next desktop chip, Conroe. Said to consume about 45W. Earlier said to launch in 05-H2 or 2007, prototype chips has been out since May of 2006. Merom is part of the Santa Rosa Centrino platform, succeeding Napa. Said to be used in future Macs. Bus speed to go up to 800 MHz in 2007-H1. Will be named T7600, the T7400, the T7200 and T5600. Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:39:48 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4208 SiS chipset including Mirage 3 (DirectX 9) graphics. Will be succeeded by SiS 772. A low-power M771 version for mobile computers is also out. Mon, 2 Oct 2006 18:27:25 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4194 Intel chipset including support Mirage 4 , DirectX 10 / WGF graphics. Mon, 2 Oct 2006 18:21:14 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4195 AMD chipset including support Mirage 4 , DirectX 10 / WGF graphics. Mon, 2 Oct 2006 18:21:06 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4059 New version of DirectX, aka 9.0+ or 9.L succeeding DirectX 9.0c. Now reuniting DirectX with DirectDraw. The name is changed from DirectX to WGF (Windows Graphic Foundation) and then back again. Longhorn's user interface will for example be based on WGF version 2.0 (coming in 2006). Includes Shader Model 4.0 support, and likely to be part of XNA. Will be included in Longhorn and will also support programming Xbox2. Includes "Classic", "Aero", and "Aero Glass" modes (see Beyond3D link below). DX10 is a much cleaned up version designed to run faster. Removes backwards compatibility with DX 9 and older. For running older games an extra layer of software will be used. May cause older games to run slower. Mon, 2 Oct 2006 18:18:52 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4110 New, updated Command Line Interface for Windows. Claimed to be better than Unix's counterparts. Later renamed Microsoft Command Shell (msh) and PowerShell. Will be introduced in Longhorn. Mon, 14 Aug 2006 13:06:02 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4148 Sped up version of the X1600, to be released as X1700. Rumoured to support a 256 bit memory interface, to improve performance. A higher-clocked RV570 version will also be out. Fri, 11 Aug 2006 17:07:35 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4123 Value version of R520 and RV530. Successor to RV370. A RV505 (80nm) and an RV516 will also be available. Fri, 11 Aug 2006 17:07:23 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4191 Intel enthusiast chipset, with DDR3 support. Known as Radeon Xpress 3200. The RS600 is similar but for the mainstream segment. Fri, 11 Aug 2006 17:04:31 GMT http://endian.net/details.aspx?ItemNo=4144 Server-version of Allendale. 4-core chip with 4MB of cache. (Previously referred to as Cloverton.) Claimed to be 2 Woodcrest cores in one package. Part of the Stoakley platform. Uses the Seaburg chipset. Tue, 1 Aug 2006 21:32:41 GMT
