"Weak Intel roadmap: Yonah launch speed plummets to 2.16GHz, from earlier claims of 2.53GHz. Also note in servers: "Nocona 3.8 and 4.0GHz parts have been cancelled." So 3.6GHz is it until next year for Intel Xeon." No wonder AMD is already looking at a 33rd fab ;-)

Mr. Kubicki seems to have not even left a drop of the Intel koolaid in the pitcher :) He's soooo impressed even while he's admitting that he's a bit mistified about the low clock speeds. Does not even mention that Yonah is a new architecture being introduced w/o 64 bits in Q1 06 and the server chips are still archaic FSB kludges. TG

Re: Yonah launch speed plummets to 2.16GHz, from earlier claims of 2.53GHz. Whoever claimed 2.53GHz can't multiply. You can't find an even or half multiplier to get 2.53GHz with a 667MHz FSB. The Yonah frequency was not expected to be 2.5+GHz at launch. The Inquirer (Charlie) wrote a story to "set things straight" on Yonah frequencies. Apparently he thought the ~2.3GHz (2.33GHz) frequency from Intel's own roadmap (which was probably the Sossaman slide featured at x86-secret) was too low. The article also mentions the AMD Taylor CPU. It looks like a 90-nm part. If Taylor is anything like Turion is today then it will be clocked at 1.8GHz while Sossaman is outperforming it at 2.16GHz. Quite likely a majority of Taylor notebooks will be sold with 32-bit XP Home at launch. Re: Nocona 3.8 and 4.0GHz parts have been cancelled." So 3.6GHz is it until next year for Intel Xeon. Good news for Opteron.
