It’s been 3 weeks I last touched this blog, sorry everyone. I’m back now after a few busy and hectic weeks, though I’m suppose to enjoy my holidays.
Anyway, let’s take a look of the latest Intel processors, Pentium Extreme Edition 955. The speed for this Dual Core CPU is clocked at 3.46GHz, which is currently the highest speed for desktop computer. It is utilizing a faster FSB (Front Side Bus) too, at 1066MHz.
As I mentioned is an earlier post, saying Intel Processors are able to go beyond 4GHz by utilizing the latest 65nm process technology, this processor is manufactured using 65nm technology instead of 90nm that most of the new desktop processors are using. The lower the process technology means lower processor’s power requirements and more processors can be produced in a silicon wafer, hence, lower the manufacturing cost.
Using 65nm process technology, 955 is operating at 1.20 – 1.33V operating voltage range while drawing a power of approximately 130 watts.
As compared to the last CPU Intel released, Pentium Extreme Edition 840 that runs on 3.2 GHz, Pentium Extreme Edition 955 doubles the amount of Level 2 (L2) cache from 2MB to 4MB (2MB for each core) !
To make the CPU 64-bit enabled, 955 supports 64-bit EMT64 extensions that popularized by AMD’s processors. Besides, it supports the Execute Disable Bit to prevent against certain types of malware driven buffer-overflow attacks.
According to Intel, the Pentium Extreme Edition 955 will be available on January 16, for US$999.

You have a great site. I love it so much.
Intel is start to move fast after few years of slow down in development. Hope that the MacIntel chip will have a better performance.
Anyway, I would like to inform you that I have added your blog to my Penang Blogger Directory. You can check it out at http://penangpodcast.blogspot.com.
