DETAILS HAVE EMERGED of the future design of Intel’s Tejas/Pentium V processor, and of how the chip firm will present it to the world.
The chip will sample internally at Intel in January 2004 and will take between four to six months to get to market. The Pentium 6 will follow a very similar schedule.
The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design.
The processor we believe, sits in the LGA 775 pin socket, and above it is a very thin heatsink. But, according to sources close to the firm’s plans, another permeable heatsink can sit between this and another microprocessor module, giving a stackable design.
The final design of this arrangement is not set in stone.
According to this source, and the details have not been confirmed, a module sitting on top could provide 64-bit extensions.
And the source claimed, Microsoft is ready to launch a version of Windows called Elements with 64-bit extensions.
The idea seems to be that people can buy a 32-bit module, and then add in the 64-bit processor.
There are three samples of an arrangement of the Pentium V here in Taiwan this week, with a very thin processor and lots of wires and patches stuck on it, just to show proof of concept.
The Pentium V could have a front side bus speed of as much as 4000MHz, the source claimed, although this may be reserved for the next chip along, the Nehalem. µ

I’ve been testing out widnwos 7 build 7000, and i have to say the interface is simalar to vista, but much more refined and easier to navigate.The biggest feature i’ve noticed is real time S.M.A.R.T monitoring built right into widnwos 7. if there is a hard drive problem or one that is about to fail, it will give you advance warning so you know to backup your files. This is a very good feature to have!It also seems to run much faster than Vista, even on an older machine. I’m running it on a spare box, a P4 with 1GB ram and 250GB HDD. It runs faster than Vista does on my Core2Due box, with 4GB ram and 160GB HDD.
