Intel to add EIST to 65nm Desktop Processors

By

It seems that Intel is going to be updating the ‘Presler’ and ‘Cedar Mill’ 65nm desktop cores to improve the part’s power consumption by adding support for the chip maker’s Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST). This is a great move and something that we were shocked was not done in the first place, but Intel likes going back and doing things twice lately.

The upgrade affects the dual-core Pentium D 920, 930, 940 and 950, clocked at 2.8, 3.0, 3.2 and 3.4GHz, respectively. Sample of the updated core, dubbed ‘C-1’, will ship on February 24 with a view to product shipments coming through after April 5
