Good to see OcUK have started the pre-order price gouging nice and early.
its not the fault of the board its the gfx card makers not allowing it
so can i run crossfire on an nforce board ?
"What Nehalem is really about"
Resurrection of Pentium 4 Hyper threading.
oi, there was nothing wrong with hyperthreading
4-WayNorthwood had a tiny 8KB, 2-way set associative data-cache
16KBPrescott had a lot of changes to make HT viable. The data cache was increased to 32KB 8-way.
My bad, memory fails me.
Nehalem also statically partitions its ROB into two 64 entry chunks when SMT is enabled which will have a small effect on single thread performance.
I won't speculate on the degree to which this will impact Nehalem's single-threaded performance, because I don't know a) the threshold beyond which a decrease in ROB entries significantly impacts the core's ability to extract maximum instruction-level parallelism, or b) if Intel has some way of mitigating this decrease,Update: Intel says that they do option b, i.e., if only one thread is executing that thread gets full use of the shared resources.
