Canterwood boards

Anybody know when these are expected, I really wanna get one before I buy my intel cpu.

q2 supposedly, it will use dual channel ddr 333

Smells and sounds good to me

Actually, it will use dual channel DDR333 and DDR400

It will do much more if this article is accurate.

"The successor of the E7205 (Granite Bay), the code-named CanterWood chipset will support [color=ff5500]dual Pentium 4 processors[/color] with 533MHz and 667MHz Quad Pumped Bus, 1MB of L2 cache and the Hyper-Threading II technology. The core-logic will feature ICH5 with Serial ATA support. Moreover, the platform will provide Gigabit Ethernet and dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers."

I'm an SMP devotee and this greatly interests me.

i beleive that the canterwoods will support upto 800MHZ Quad Pumped FSB. That article might be a lil out of date..

lets hope it uspports HT II =)

Yea that article is out of date

The Canterwood will support 800FSB and DC DDR400. And it will have a "turbo" option. I really cannot wait for this chipset, its time to put my rdram to rest :clap:

Krowa 02 · Feb 10, 2003

I was under the impression that the canterwood was a single cpu chipset, from all the turbo mode talks and etc...

raven · Feb 10, 2003

I beleive that it is a single cpu chipset

when Audioaficionado mentioned dual Pentium 4 processors , i think he meant that if a chip placed with HT in it, the bios or motherboard will recognize it as 2 separate processors

I highlighted the part about "dual P4 processors" because that means at least two processors and hyperthreading was a separate issue according to the article. So maybe it will support both SMP and HT. HT is sorta like SMP but not really the same. I want SMP dual CPU mobo and if this chipset won't support it, I'll look elsewhere.

that article is over 3 months old

What P4 core is supposed to have a 1MB cache?? If they are talking about XEONs, this board probably is not within our spending quota.

Prescott will have 1MB of L2...

i875 aka Canterwood should be out in late April (press release anyways) and is the workstation version of the i865 chipset AKA springdale.... so basicly it is a i865 with better memory preformance

Toscani · Feb 12, 2003

I got a question regarding the use of DDR on the canterwood with P4/200FSb. WOuld it be better to use PC3200 or PC3500? Of course the system will be OC but will the PC3500 be able to run sync? Im used to rdram...

Krowa 02 · Feb 12, 2003

PC3500 is faster ram, so you would have a little more head room as pc3200 runs at 400mhz and I believe 3500 runs at 433. But it will work probably, it just wont be officially supported.

raven · Feb 12, 2003

so what might be the estimated price on a canterwood? would anyone suspect if it would be more or less then say the granite bay boared? for example the gigabyte 8INXP

My question is would it work sync or async with DDR433? Or is it sync if my entire system is clocked over 433?

The Canterwood chipset itself will go for appox. $50, about $10 more than the current 850E chipset.

well what i was refering to was the actual boards.. here in Canada, the Gigabyte 8INXP goes for around 320$ and was just wanting to know if the canterwood would be more or less or around the same... since it is a server board, but it has a fewer layer PCB? i think.. so i was just curious

Note to self, never move to Canada. Seems like everything is hard to find and more expensive there.
