i have to disagree with cather on a few points, the dothan might not be running extremly hot, but you have to look at the heatsink with which they acheived 20% overclock.
also the next wave(or possibly wave after) of cpu's is going to go multi core, rumors say intel has this planned with a p4 type core, but if you look at the heat output of a single core dual core is going to have very limited head room, and what about more then 2? i don't see it happening well. Intel already has yohan (dual core slightly modified dothans) in it's roadmaps. How long before intel wants 4 core chips, i don't see a p4 core being able to handle this in a consumer board just due to heat, let alone the size limitations of the core. the dothan is smaller and would be much better more feasible in terms of power consumption and heat output, dual core yohan rated at only 31W.
i agree i don't think we'll be seeing the dothan beating out all the desktop chips anytime soon, but without a new chip to replace the p4 i see it(or a beefed up version) crossing over into the desktop segment as soon as more then 2 cores will be demanded.
came across this. yes it's from theinquirer. so take it how you will.
