In-Stat/MDR - Processor Watch: "The facts are these: Moore�s law is a narrow observation of a general manufacturing trend, not a law of physics; it wasn�t clearly defined in the first place; its definition has been significantly changed over the years, both by its author and by trespassers, to make it better fit the actual data; and past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Intel Paxville, Blackford, Dempsey meet Diamond Peak and Sunrise Lake

Intel Paxville, Blackford, Dempsey meet Diamond Peak and Sunrise Lake: "Here are some codenames to match Swinburne's wild west. Dempsey, a dual core server chip, will use the Blackford and Blackford VS chipsets with ESB-2, and as well as Intel Active Server, it will use Diamond Peak technology and Sunrise Lake. These technologies are promised for the first quarter of 2006. That's also the timeline for the Paxville dual core processor, and for the Greencreek chipset using ESB-2 as well. Greencreek will have X16 PCI Express graphics support, and give FBD memory capabilities, and better reliability and management features, quoth Intel.
But before we reach the heights of dual core technology, some earlier technology and price cuts are on the way for 2005.
This isn't high faluting stuff, but have been promised for some time and are now close to release.
Cranford, which uses the Twin Castle chipset, is still slated for the first quarter of 2005, and will likely have 1MB of level two cache and be introduced at 3.66GHz. Intel hasn't quite made up its mind what clock speed the Potomac chip, with 8MB of level three cache will launch at, but that's still slated for the second quarter of next year. As the year progresses, Intel will ramp it up."
