Jesus christ

When is the new "z" stepping 3.0 coming out? been waiting to see what it can do.

While I'm far from a choir boy, find a better title for threads than this. This is a strictly PG rated forum, and the taking of Christ's name in vain is no replacement for a suitable thread title.

Contrary to popular belief, it's likely that the "Z" stepping of the 3.0C will not be equal to the second coming of Christ.

Just thought I'd mention that...

will it be better than his first coming?

 

[situman]

Depends on your current religous affiliation

 

[brywalker]

Deny your maker.

 

[betterlife18]

Christ isn't the maker... he's the son of the maker

i want more info on these Z steppings, not religious crap lol.. this is the first i've heard of a 'z' step. now i'm gonna be tossed up between a new d0 stepping prescott or a z stepping northwood.

 

[cwindsor]

Tread light on this topic.... I would rather be in heaven than in hell on a prescott.

 

[batboy]

I'm assuming he meant M0 stepping Northwood. The 2.4C M0 stepping has a s-spec code of SL6Z3 and the 2.8C M0 stepping has a s-spec code of SL6Z5. Supposedly there was going to be a M0 stepping for the 2.6C called SL6Z4, but it never happened. I think it's the "Z" in the s-spec that he was referring too.

To make things more confusing, there is a 3.0C D1 stepping that has a s-spec of SL78Z too.

 

[Flakk]

oic.. well thats not quite as exciting

is there ever going to be a 3.0 m0 or is that done with

 

[batboy]

Nothing is listed on the Intel website yet, so there is no way to tell. Who knows? Nothing listed in the s-spec finder about the D0 stepping Prescotts either and they are supposed to be released in two days.

 

[ChasR]

I think he's refering to the SL78Z which is the replacement for the SL6WK and SL6WU. All three are D-1 stepping. There is no "Z" stepping. They have been available according to Intel since Nov. 03 but have yet to hit the end user market in the US.

Here is the Intel Info on the conversion:

[Flakk]

jesus christ

so do we need a religion section at the forums now?
I hope there's ocing in heaven...

 

[situman]

i have a feeling this is going to be another 2.6c "z." MIA

No, the SL78Z is real. A guy from Singapore posted a picture of the retail box it came in along with his overclock results.
