WE JUST learned minutes ago that Intel will release h new CPUs that will use a 1066 MHz front side bus (FSB ). This means that the FSB will get increased from initial 200 MHz times four to 266 MHz times four. This means a potentially very big huge performance boost.
We also learned that Intel has told motherboard vendors that Alderwood motherboard must have support for FSB 1066MHz CPU.
We reckon that this CPU is an extension to the Prescott core pretty much with an overclocked FSB but we don't have any specifics, as yet.
We also don't know whether this CPU going to work in Grantsdale, 915-P and 915-G motherboards.
This seems to be Intel's way of fighting AMD's 939 dual memory controller chips that are due to be released anytime soon. AMD obviously doesn't have any problem introducing its 3700+ and faster chips as they don't have any heat problems.
Who said that Intel cannot keep up with AMD? Is this FSB overclock going to increase heat as well? We hope not.
