rofl, yeah well two pressies on same waffer = mega heat, it will be a long time before i buy another prescott, they run hot, they are sluggish and genrally not a good design.
And these chips are now 65nm, with no apparent heat reduction techniques from intel, so really wtf r they on over there. 90nm = more heat than 130nm, so theoretically 65nm = more heat then 90nm, even with lowered clocked chips.
Are they trying to build a cpu that will power a city by using its heat to generate electricity, maybe....

I really want it to for braggin rights, for performance my 650---> 4.0ghz+ is more then enough. I won't be buying another CPU untill Intel resolves issues with AMD smacking them around like a b*tch in some benchmarks.

wow...
For 1200$ I could make me a xeon true dual system alone...
this must be the most overpriced cpu I have seen yet.

For 600 dollars I did build myself a dual Xeon system... running @ 2.4Ghz for now

No they are still 90nm...Phrenetical said:
Wow although it would be nice, I too would like to see at least 3 things before I would consider it.
1) Lower price even a little bit, (thats a no brainer) maybe sub $1000, $999 is a start.
2) Clock it a bit higher, more cache, something, although it keeps up close to the Opterons it does have issues.
3) Do something about that stinkin' heat problem.
Fix those, and I would be more in the consideration arena.

At least X2 costs a lot more then the Pentium D or it would be really grim for Intel right now. With Pentium D costing almost half of the X2 it’s a tough choice. For now I will probably just shell out for the X2. I want to wait for Intel to find a way to get the heat down before I try their dual core. Wish Intel would hurry and figure something out because a dual core overclocked to 4+ Ghz sounds awful fun to me.
