when will the Pentium 5 come? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Metallica_Band · 09-10-2003, 09:39 PM

Hey there...I was just wondering when Pentium 5 will come out...like what makes Intel change the number??? Was there something REALLY BIG that happened between Pentium 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 and 3 & 4??? What do you think will make Intel go from 4 to 5??? Just wondering...THANX
C'YA ?:-D

i don't know, but if you read here:

i don't know if there will be a pentium 5

IIRC Intel's new chip is going to be 64bit.

I rather just get an Opteron, but I am doing fine with my 2.2 P4 right now.

I'll upgrade when things get slow, and they are still pretty damn fast here, so I've nothing to worry about for awhile.

no P5 that ive herd of, they have the P4 C now and are working on a new P4 (d i think)

oberon · 09-10-2003, 11:51 PM

Intel will probably continue to improve their 32-bit CPU's for a while. Probably the biggest increases will come from their adjusting the P4's successors to take advantage of smaller manufacturing processes. I've heard of 90 nanometer recently, I bet they'll get it down to 10 nanometer in the next few years.

64-bit CPUs may become more popular in the future, depending on how much more RAM software decides to suck up. People just don't do enough with their average computer to need the I/O bandwidth on 64-bit systems.

The Pentium 5 processor will debut this year. The early models will work on Socket 478 systems with 800 MHz FSB (hyper-threading). I believe the first will be the Prescott running at 3.4 GHz. The heads at Intel have commented on the P5 processors probably making it over 4.5 GHz stock by next Spring. Keep in mind that the second wave of P5's will NOT be Socket 478 which means a new motherboard will be needed to run them.

I have heard that they are running out of options on silicon chips and that they will have to move to a completely new interface for computer chips. Maybe the Pentium 5 will debut this new technology.

I doubt that. the next step from silicone is diamond. There's a synthetic diamond manufacturing process now that can create gem-quality diamonds, but the bugs are still being ironed out, and it's not capable of making them in the size necessary for efficient chip making yet. Since DeBeers is unlikely to release it's huge diamond hoarde for the betterment of computing, until the diamond making process is perfected, silicone is about it.

That's where we're gonna hit a wall soon, because we're fast approaching chip temperatures that will liquify silicone - hence the need for diamond-based chips.

DIAMOND??? As in the rock diamond??? How would they do that??? Interesting

Silicon is the stuff they use in computer chips.
Silicone is the stuff they use to inflaste breasts.
A pet peeve of mine.

very interesting article

steveincolumbus · 09-11-2003, 09:48 PM

just buy the woman in your life a new processor huh?

Johnny Rotten · 09-11-2003, 10:53 PM

Pentium 5. Pentium means "five." I think they would have to call it "Pentium Squared" or something, or something else entirely, to avoid the inevitable ridicule. Maybe the "Sextium." Hmm, or not.

Mr.Deflok · 09-11-2003, 11:35 PM

Or they could call it Vaginum, y'know, like Pentium is like PENis, so like, y'know, VAGina, to make it like... ok I give up.
