carl: 478-pin socket will be used by the 0.13-micron Northwood Pentium 4 at year-end, supporting 512KB on-chip cache, up to 533MHz bus using dual PC1066 RDRAMs with dual PC2100 SDRAM buses in some chipsets, dual-CPU operation, computertimes.asia1.com.sg Please cite real technical white papers from leading manufacturers not $75 per 250 words hack articles. The article author could be a screwdriver shop owner from Singapore. (Nebojsa Novakovic is the managing director of a company that designs high-end computer systems.). This article you cite is pure speculation on future products. What you clip out totally contradicts what has been delivered from Intel in last few weeks. Why would Intel use a 478 pin socket for dual processor support when they already have technically superior solution for XEON 1.7 MHz with 600+ pin socket. You yourself stated that pins are cheap. Intel I guess is not wasting some of those 600 pins on DDR or dual DDR memory interface pins but for something more useful like state of the art performance. RE your statement Probably the thing to note is that: (1) Intel says PC266 may not work, but they said the same thing about PC133 before they chipsets for it. Please substitute 150 MHz FSB instead of 133 MHz which you can agree is in the works since the FSB have increased steadily from 4.33 MHz on the 8088 in 1981 to 133MHz now. In this situation RDRAM @ 600 MHz, which should not be technical difficult to produce at smaller DRAM geometries,(PC 1200) will produce all the bandwidth Intel will require; while DDR (PC2400) falls flat on it's ass due to much tighter timing requirements and lower percentage bus utilization due to dead bus cycles. Intel was found it's long term memory interface so expect fast turnaround on new P4 projects since they do not have to tweak DDR tight timing specifications. I was totally amazed dual XEON based solution came out so shortly after P4 release that puts 40% performance lead over best AMD Athlon solution which was the king of desktop CPU's. Keep the slop coming john
