Yeah, i followed up on that thread for a while. Yonah and Dothan have been faster than A64 clock per clock for a while now.

Yeah look at my sig how the Dothan performs
Now imagine Core Duo on Vapochill...ahh no competition !

[DriveEuro]

I already know how both perform. I visit XS almost everyday.

[MaDoNiOn]

Awsome performance! Bring on Conroe!!!!!!!!

[Dynasty]

Only one problem no good boards yet to run
Yonah with either an sli or xFire set up.

[DriveEuro]

Right, there's really just the Aopen. I was gonna jump on that Yonah ES deal that FCG had going on XS. But after I read about the Aopen board I was turned off. The board just didn't wow me in any ways.

C'mon, you know you want it for the 45 degree socket

I have an T2600 sitting here,
just waiting for an nice 945PM board to compliment it.

Hope you have a LOT of patience. LOL

You gonna try out that Aopen board?


Crap, looks like you edited your post when I hit quote.

Nah, going to wait till something decent or better comes along.

I don't mind getting an board that will need vmods done to it.

But, I would like to try an single X1900xtx or an 7900gtx with this Yonah soon.

asus's i945 board doesnt look too promising if you ask me...proprietary hsf mount and only 2 dimm slots (if i'm thinking of the right one). theres also a gigabyte one that uses soc478 mounts IIRC

Imagine if the test was done with them at the same clock speeds

hmmm....i think we all know what the outcome would be

[bravotsx]

i woudln't call it 'smokes' but the performance is definitely noteworthy.
but seriously, all but maybe 1 of those tests show less than a 1% difference. and that really doesn't constituite 'smoked'

i want a new core duo laptop when they're cheaper

[Copycat]

bravotsx... did you read the part "on air" and "with vapochill" ?

Nice. I literally can't wait for conroe, I was about to buy a p-m 760 with a ct-479 when I saw the first yonah benchmarks and the announcement of conroe.

[bravotsx]

ooh i didn't register that part haha it's too early =P
thanks for the correction;; i guess the fx60 coudln't get up to those clocks w/o a vapochill while the core duo sits fine on air.

now i want to see some core duo on vapochill action.

Me too bro, me too

Yeah its the same thing over like with the old Dothans...The chip performs amazingly but the motherboards always a let down...Even if u did get a Socket 479 for the Dothan AGP is slowly dying...

If they did how ever bring out a good motherboard..who would buy the desktop chips

[Dynasty]

yonah + DI will be alot of fun.
For now I think i am going to order an
Asus N4L-VM with pci-E & see what mods need to be done to the board.
Most Asus boards when vmodded run superbly.


Here is pic of the Asus board for Yonah's.
