Nerd_Annhilator Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Look at this, http://www.go-l.com/desktops/machl38/features/index.htm Scroll down a bit, and notice one of the CPU logos. One is a "Pentium X" My guess is, is that this is Intels new 64 Bit chip. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Which probably means that the new windows is due soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivy Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Originally posted by InsaneSith goody, Windows XP 64-bit version yeah the beta of XP 64-bit has been out for awhile, so it can't be too much longer until its released. the next pentium is going to be named, surprisingly, Pentium 5. they very nearly called the Pentium 4 'Extreme Edition' Pentuim 5, but then AMD released their new processor so they decided Pentuim 5 sould be something better, not just a P4 with a bigger bus.

I thought they were going to call it the Pentium Xtreme? x_x guess they've come a ways in their decision. I do like Pentium 5 better than Pentium Xtreme though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerd_Annhilator Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Some more info I found "AN FRANCISCO, June 17 - For decades, the Intel Corporation has expanded its core business by making computer chips that are faster and by lowering their cost. Next week, however, the company plans to shift gears; it will mute its traditional speed message and focus instead on an array of consumer-oriented features to bolster growth. On Monday, Intel is planning to announce its newest foray into the home computing market, blending performance, wireless capability and multimedia audio, video and image features into a set of chips that will be at the core of the next-generation personal computer. The new three-chip suite, which has been code-named Grantsdale, is also the clearest expression of the "innovation and integration" strategy of Intel's rising star, Paul S. Otellini, the chief operating officer. That strategy is both a plan to lure consumers and a bet that Intel can create a new wave of growth in consumer electronics. "Intel has changed its design paradigm to start not just adding gigahertz, but to adding features that users demand," Mr. Otellini said at an analysts' meeting last month. That strategic shift will be very much in evidence on Monday when PC makers announce the first new computers based on Intel's new chips. Intel executives said that the new chips will make possible higher-speed computing, more reliable storage and more advanced audiovisual standards and will represent fundamental change in the internal structure of the standard PC. In a significant shift, the company, based in Santa Clara, Calif., will announce its fastest processor yet but will focus instead on the ability of the new chip sets to serve as a Wi-Fi base station, support a storage standard that protects against disk failure and allow users to view high-definition video and listen to higher-quality digital audio. "The last major makeover for the PC happened in the early 90's," said William M. Siu, general manager of Intel's desktop platforms group. "We're trying to focus not just on technology leadership but on how people will use it." Still, there is hot debate on how quickly the new design will be adopted by computer makers and whether it will help Intel, the world's largest chip maker, successfully push into markets now dominated by television and stereo companies. Intel dominates the home office and computing in the family room, but its future depends in no small part on its ability to cash in on the idea of the digital living room, a market that the investment research firm Sanford C. Bernstein & Company predicts will generate more than $250 billion in new revenue by 2008. "This is very good news for the semiconductor industry," said Adam S. Parker, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein. "The question is how good this will be for Intel." The challenge for Intel is that it is not alone in focusing on growth in the consumer home entertainment market. On one side, Advanced Micro Devices, Intel's traditional rival in the microprocessor business, has quarried market share at the top end of the desktop PC business with the introduction of its 64-bit Athlon processor. Intel had been trying to lock A.M.D. out of the 64-bit computing market by betting on its 64-bit Itanium chip for corporate computing applications. Now that strategy seems to be falling short. Itanium is staggering, largely in competition with A.M.D.'s Opteron 64-bit chip for server computers, and it now appears that Intel has also lost some ground to the Athlon at the very high end of the desktop market. "I don't think that consumers are asking for faster memory or a new bus, they're asking for a great entertainment experience," said Marty Seyer, general manager of A.M.D.'s microprocessor business unit. "We don't see any innovation that is going to be announced next week that we haven't already released." At the same time, I.B.M. has pushed Intel out of the video game market by sewing up microprocessor deals with both Microsoft and Sony for their next-generation systems. Because video game consoles will have many of the same audiovisual features that Intel is hoping to add to next-generation PC's and will be heavily subsidized by the sale of video game software, they may reduce the need for a high-end entertainment-oriented personal computer in many homes. "Consumers don't buy chips, they buy systems," said Nick Donatiello, president of Odyssey, a San Francisco-based consumer electronics market research firm. The challenge for Intel's plans to make the PC the home's entertainment media server, he said, is that wireless data standards are not yet ready to move video data seamlessly around the house. In addition to offering consumers an entertainment media server, Intel, in demonstrations here on Thursday at a briefing for analysts and the press, showed a personal computer that is designed to fit in stereo cabinets and looks like a cable or satellite set-top box. Mr. Siu said, however, that the prices for such systems would start at about $700, far above the costs of digital video recorders and video game machines that are now finding their way into the living room. At the same time, the PC model for the home does have important backers. "There is a strong catalytic value to Intel stepping up and saying, 'We are going to create these integrated systems with stuff built in,' " said Rob Glaser, chief executive of RealNetworks, the Internet audiovisual service. "The PC as the smart hub in the home has basically happened." Despite moving in the right direction, some analysts and industry executives also suggested that Intel might be out in front of the market, which will be cautious in adopting some of the features that are in its new chips. Hewlett-Packard, for example, will introduce computers based on Grantsdale on Monday, but they will not take advantage of many of the chip set's features. "We decided not to support the wireless portion of the chip set," said Giovanni Sena, Hewlett's product manager for consumer computing. "We're not seeing any demand yet."

edlib Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Cool looking computers, but... Apple called; they want thier website back. Seriously,.. I thought for a second I was on the Apple page. A wee bit of a ripoff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I don't see a Pentium X..all I see is a Pentium Extreme Edition that's overclocked to 3.8ghz. All it is is a regular P4 Northwood with two mb of extra level 3 cache. Nothing extremely special. (Oh Pun, how I love thee...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thats an editing job on the Pentium 4. The logo always changes. The new one will look different from the Pentium 4 one. They just replaced the 4 with an X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I thought the Intel Itanium was already a 64-bit processor that's been out, so a new one wouldn't be so surprising. [EDIT] I read through the news article.... ok it's already been mentioned by someone. I'm going to get an AMD 64 if I have the money, otherwise for now I'm sticking with the Intel Pentium 4 2.4c. I wonder if P5 will be expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
