Both will remain, because both are situationally superior. That's like saying I can get a small car with more horsepower than a big one, so all big ones will be obsolete, especially since the small use uses less power to do the same thing.ĭesktops will remain not because of performance, which at any rate will always be superior (compare an i7 2600K overclocked to a mobile processor, which can not be overclocked as extensively), but because the form factor is superior situationally. Second, the desktop is not going anywhere, and sensationalizing won't change it. It's probably closer to the Pentium 4 in more ways than not, at least at a low level (PRF, new version of trace cache, etc.). It's not just an evolution of the Pentium Pro based Nehalem. It borrows a lot from the Pentium Pro family, and the Pentium 4 family. The pipelines were remade from the ground up, and it's (outside of the P4 family) the first real departure from the Pentium Pro.
If you don't think that this is a huge leap forward in mobile performance, I can't change your perspective.Īfter reading only the first page, there was enough there that stopped me from even reading the rest.įirst of all, Sandy Bridge is not evolutionary. This article compares the previous-fastest notebook configuration, Clevo's desktop-CPU X7200 "mobile workstation" using Intel's fastest LGA-1366 part, with the fastest new solution. No news here.You must mean $1000 (Core i7-980X), since you can't get a 2600k in a notebook. It's clocked at 3.4 GHz stock and should be the real target for comparing mobile to desktop CPUs.Show me a notebook that accepts the Core i7-2600K please, so I can mount a 6970M on it and find out how it compares to this notebook CPU.immoral medicCan you really compare the Sandy Bridge with this older i7? I don't think so. If you wanted a notebook but didn't think they had the CPU performance for you, you no longer have an excuse.ĪgnickolovWhat I don't see here is the desktop Core i7 2600(K). What this means is that today's notebooks beat LGA-1366. Oh wait, it doesn't matter since you're writing about an i7-980X with a 6970M, which notebook is that by the way?Since the 6970M is slower than a desktop 6850, what's the point in even mentioning desktops? Who would pair a $1000 i7-980X with $160 desktop graphics card for gaming?It's the Clevo X7200 that holds the DESKTOP Extreme Edition i7-980X. PorksmugglerI lost count of how many times you wrote desktop.
