ED#65 : Intel Penryn Will Not Run On The Santa Rosa Platform

Dashken · 17th Oct 2007, 08:42 PM

Here's an odd piece of information we obtained on the upcoming 45nm Intel Penryn mobile processors. According to our source, the Intel Penryn processors will NOT be able to run on the current Mobile Intel GM/PM965 chipset.

Intel's original roadmap showed that the 45nm Intel Penryn processors will be used in what is known internally as the Santa Rosa refresh. However, our source says that is not likely to happen for two reasons.

Here's a quote from the editorial :-

Quote:

"Intel has apparently decided as well that it does not make marketing sense to introduce a Santa Rosa refresh in Q1'08 when the next-generation Cantiga chipset will be released just 3 months later."

Well, this actually refers to the Mobile Penryn processor, not the desktop Wolfdale or Yorksfield processors.

I don't think P965 supports Penryn.

Theoretically, it should be able to support the Penryn.

In fact, Intel's original plan was to have the Penryn processors run on the PM/GM965 motherboards until Cantiga arrives.

Hmmm, I still wonder...

Not like I am in some rush to get to 45nm, But it would be nice to know if p965 works with it.

Hehehe, My e6600 runs so fast compared to my old system that I am still amazed.

Oh, you mean the desktop P965? Yeah, it will work with the 45nm Yorkfield (quad-core) and Wolfdale (dual-core) processors.

I was only referring to the Mobile P965 chipset and the mobile Penryn processors.

Wow! Thats so nice to know.

Er...I don't think so. Check the Anandtech article. All P965 is not in the compatible list, only X38, P35 and some 975X.

Actually some P965 based mainboard will support penryn.
