3800+ X2 isn't a laptop chip?, and Yonahs due Q106, probably towards
the beginning of it, there are even noises abound we'll see an x86
mac with one in it in January
it's the Merom/Conroe/Woodcrest trio we've got to wait until the
middle of the year for. (does that arch have a bloody unified name
anywhere.. damnit)
Also, from my own sources at Intel, the current Yonahs are being
massively underbinned, probably to maintain ROI, the word is that the
actual yields on them are closer to a 2.6-2.7Ghz median, with
occasional 3Ghz batches, they might be a mighty fine chip for the
'wants a fast quiet rig and isn't afraid of a little overclocking'
brigade. and I mean, really seriously mighty fine.

Yep. A look at Yonah:

The bad thing about Yonah is.. New Socket, at least 2 quarters of
wait still
ahead and:

Yeah, it's basically the same speed or slower then the X2-3800+...
A chip
you can get right now, and which will probably be cheaper by the
time Yonah
hits the market.
Yeah, I'm just unsure of what the "sell" is on this right now..

Um Hayes, they are doing that.
reference: Merom, Conroe, Woodcrest
64bit 65nm chips due in the middle of '06, 14 stage
pipelines, 2-3Ghz
clocks, 4-issue dispatch! (A64s are 3 issue, G5s are
3+branch, P4's
are
2-issue)
Pentium M is P3 derived, and lacks the 64bitness, rather that futz
around giving it a 64bit overhaul, they're designing
something based
on a similar philosophy from the ground up..
Yes, but Yonah and later PM cores have an extra 4-cycle
latency on the L2 cache. Hopefully, this can be disabled at
will....it comes from the core's ability to shut down cache
areas that aren't needed and flush contents to memory.
This does necessarily hurt the performance per MHz, but it is
still very competitive.
