Setup
- Intel Core i7 Nahelam 920 2.66 GHz processor
- OCZ DDR3-12800 1600 MHz 8-8-8-24 3 GB OCZ3G1600LV3GK triple channel memory
- Asus P6T Deluxe Nahelam motherboard
- Seagate Cheetah 15.K6 15000 RPM 146 GB ST3146356SS hard drive
- Windows XP with Mac OS X Panther theme
Nahelam
Nahelam is the name of the new Intel Core i7 processor. It is a 'tock' in the Intel cycle, meaning an architectural change. As opposed to a 'tick' which is a silicon build change.
Quick list of noticable changes:
- No more front-side-bus, it's more like AMD with integrated memory controller in the processor
- True quad-core die, not two dual core dies on one processor
- Automatically clock the processor if only one is active
- 45 nm lithography, same as Penryn
- Maximum 1.65 Volt for the DRAM bus/controller
- New socket, 1366 pins, because of the integrated memory controller
- More expensive motherboards, launch boards was around 400USD
Motherboard
At launch Intel and Asus were the first to launch their motherboards. I got the Asus P6T Deluxe board for free after I've complete a price guide system for a friend (thanks pibbz).
The P6T is feature packed, it even got a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller.
