"Netburst" goes out in a bang (almost literally)
Motherboard makers: Intel’s dual-core Presler has stability issue
Charles Chou, Taipei; Jessie Shen, DigiTimes.com [Tuesday 15 November 2005]
Sampling Intel’s 65nm dual-core Presler processors has revealed some stability problems, according to unspecified motherboard makers, adding that the problematic CPUs include the 2.8GHz 920 and 3.0GHz 930 series.
Launch of end products based on the Intel Presler core may be pushed back from the January 2006 date originally scheduled by system vendors, the makers noted.
Samples of Intel’s next-generation Yonah processors, on the other hand, also built using the 65nm manufacturing process, have gone through tests smoothly, the makers indicated. Launch of dual-core Yonah-based products is expected to take place in January of next year as originally planned, the makers added.
In related news, motherboard makers express optimism about shipments in the fourth quarter of this year because supply of entry-level chipsets have improved due to more output from Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) and VIA Technologies and Intel’s recent move of restarting the production of its 86GV chipset line.
