Yorkfield Processors to Start Selling Next Week
Posted by Regeneration on March 9th, 2008, 02:55 PM

As you know, the shipments of 45nm quad-core Core 2 Quad processors were delayed due to issues with processor system bus discovered in them. These Yorkfield processors on the new C1 stepping that would be free from this problem were expected to arrive in early March. According to sources, the new processor went into mass production exactly as planned and next week we should see 45nm Core 2 Quad Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550 in retail stores already.

Interesting and I hope the Phenom issues will be resolved soon as well might make for an interesting year

BTW when writing anything to be posted whether it is an article or just information like this piece terminology and grammar are so important

Core 2 Quad Q9300 works at 2.5GHz frequency and also supports 1333MHz bus, however its L2 cache is only 6MB big.
should really read as ....

What?! Was I asleep or something?

Q9300 disappoints me. I was expecting something like a 45nm Q6600 with extra cache. But this is crippled with 6MB instead of 12MB. I'd rather get the Q9450, not for the laughable 2.66 clock but for double the L2 cache. Think about it.

Why do you think I bought the E6550 Duo core .... O/C's well and missing a digit from the price

Does anyone know if these 45nm phenoms will still be compatible with standard AM2 (not AM2+) motherboards?

of course, its just a shrink of the core.

Asus has done the best job of releasing new bios revisions with phenom support for its AM2 boards. My board is already phenom ready (bios 1603).

Unless the initial 45nm release turns out to be a good improvement (like how the graphics department turned around from their flop) I'll hold for the high-k 45nm phenom release which should further improve power savings and enable even higher clocks.
