Intel's Bloomfield faster than 4Ghz
Flowerfield?
Based on the 45nm Nehalem architecture, Intel aims to bring Bloomfield clock speed above 4GHz in 2008. It is a speed that Intel never get to hit with their previous generation of processors where the highest clock speed reach is 3.8GHz with their Pentium 4 570 & 670. Bloomfield will contain 8MB of shared L2 cache which is smaller overall in comparison to Yorkfield 2x6MB L2 cache. As we have previously reported, Bloomfield is Socket B based, quad core and is capable of 8 threads. It is still within the 130W thermal envelope.
OK, 4 cores at 4Ghz+ give overall 16+Ghz.
By 2005, according to the link, Intel had been able to deliver 10.20GHz desktop CPUs codenamed "Nehalem" using 65 nanometer technology.
Yeah, Intel's 65nm technology was on time, but where is the rest of the upper story? Instead of single core Intel will deliver 4 cores at half initially envisioned Nehalem clock and at least the whole 5 years later. Lies, sweet lies. Please note that upper story was paid for by INTC.
Anyway, Intel should ban use of Skype VOIP and its lie detecting gadgets for reporting at their own IDF and financial forums.
