Intel Tejas processor and Socket 775 revealed

**MIG-31** · Jan 9, 2004, 08:54 PM

A staff member from AnandTech has managed to get his hands on some information and photograps about Intel his upcoming Tejas CPU and the new LGA 775 socket. The Tejas CPU will have a 1.2GHz FSB, and currently Intel has shipped out a total of 10 samples of this 90nm CPU.

All of these Tejas samples have a frequency of 2.8GHz, and are using around 150W of power. AnandTech is not 100% sure about that number, if it is indeed correct than this might be because these are just early test samples, or another explanation according to AnandTech is that the Tejas might be a variation of a multicore CPU.
While it is unlikely that Tejas includes two discreet Prescott cores on die, there is a chance that the two cores (if they exist) could be sharing data caches and maybe other units. A multicore Tejas would explain the jump in power consumption, and it is in line with Intel's strategy although it does seem sooner than expected.

150w...... ouch. Lots of power.

So, Im still confused as to the comparitive value of A64 "FSBs", is this faster or slower?
