Processor and Chipset compatiblity

Can the 35XX series CPU, connect into a 5500 or 5520 chipset? We know that it has only one QPI, but the 5520 and 5500 can apparently work in daisy chain mode. Also the X58 chipset apparently has 2 QPI, so in theory could support 2 CPUs.

List of Intel Nehalem microprocessors

Does anyone agrees with me that we should list all Intel i-series processors into a page, title as stated above, just like how we did to List of Intel Core 2 microprocessors? Instead of making separate pages of these Core i3, i5 and i7 processors list, why not create one to allow viewers to see all full details of Intel Nehalem processors at one go?

what you don't get is that Nehalem is a code-name while Core 2 is a brand. However we could re-direct that to List of Intel microprocessors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasper Deng (talk • contribs) 21:54, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series Launched

Gulftown is just a codename for a certain/specific product "development". As it turns out, Intel chose to deliver the result of this project, a.k.a. the hex-core processors, under both brands, Xeon and Core i7 Extreme (for the Desktop). So, UPDATE YOUR TABLE! (Other than that, this is a really nice and useful compilation of data).

You can refer to http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=594 for the list of Xeon family, and to http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=39597 for the list of Core i7 Desktop Processor Extreme family. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.152.82 (talk) 22:57, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Westmere EX

PC Magazine has talked about Westmere EX as coming a year from now and having 12 physical cores. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasper Deng (talk • contribs) 01:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Intel Beckton variants

The table should list the various versions of Beckton. There are quad- and six- cores of Beckton as well as many different clocks and TDPs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasper Deng (talk • contribs) 00:38, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

--Agreed having more info here would be good. I got the following information from two different IBM model configurations. Hopefully it's a useful starting point for someone.

Core i5-480M missing

I couldn't edit the article myself because I don't know what to put in the "Price for 1k Unit" column, but the Core i5 480M is missing from the table in the "32 nm Arrandale" section. 144.32.170.32 (talk) 20:48, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Redirect

Should the "Core i" page redirect to the Sandy Bridge article rather than the Nehalem article? The Nehalem architecture is no longer the currently produced line of Core i processors, and therefore it might make more sense to have this redirect pointed to the current architecture. Walbyjon (talk) 14:03, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it would be more reasonable to redirect to Intel Core instead, which describes all Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors and links to the descriptions of the individual CPU cores. Arndbergmann (talk) 18:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dual-core, quad-core and the naming of CPU with number of cores higher than four in this article.

For CPU with number of cores higher than 4, I think we should stick to the same type of prefix as with dual-core, quad-core, then hexa-core (6 cores), octa-core (8 cores rather than using six-core and eight-core. I can see "hexa-core" and "octa-core" being used here http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Multi-core_processor Nemesiscavalry (talk) 02:42, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather see the other article get changed. Using numbers seems to be the more common scheme overall beyond 4 cores, and the spelled-out names start getting really silly once you get to 12, 16 or beyond. Knight's Corner already has 48 of them, while Tilera makes chips with 64 or 100 cores. Arndbergmann (talk) 05:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can see the validity in your reasoning but should that only applied to normal context? (e.g : talking to a non-technical person). I believe there is a reason dual-, and quad- being used in the first place but that I need to read up further more.Nemesiscavalry (talk) 06:39, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where to list Jasper Forest processors on chart

Just wondering, where should the Jasper Forest processors go on the chart, and how should they be arranged? This also includes the Celeron branded P1053. --Azul120 (talk) 04:17, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What makes it a new microarchitecture?

What makes this a truly new architecture, like Netburst was, rather than just another revision and update of the P6/Core architecture like Coppermine, Dothan, Penryn etc. were? Features like hyper-threading, integrated memory controllers, and longer pipelines have been added to chips before without those chips being considered new architectures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.70.13.107 (talk) 04:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
