Dothan is intels newest Pentium-M, is clock for cokfaster than an fx 55 and fx 57 its just better than k8 aritechture all together. Is based off hte P3 Tulitan core but its got nice short piplines and 10ns of 2 mb of levl 2 chache. Now they come at 533 fsb, and they offer tpd of 30-25watts, the cooler of al the processors. THey are Ocing beats, 3.8ghz under phase got 19 sec superpi hold WR it hold WR in 3dmark 01, because its limited to 1 video card, if it had cpapbilit of sli it would hold 3d mark 03 and 05
THose are mobo and procesor, iv seent hat proc do 4.1 onair at sotck voltge, its runs as cool as the northwoods and is cut form the central waffers, most come from costa rica now, but if you get one from malaysia be happy you got the best.
I belive that mobo and the ic7-g are the only 2 equipped with 5 stage power phase regulation needed for the prescott ocing.
The reasonthe AMD dualcores are faster is because of their individual cache per core, intel's cache is shared between the two, evn though the sharing chae is the best way for the procesors to communicate, amds chace has a muchlower latency.
Just liek why does hte dothan at the same speed as the fx57 beat it? Becuase its chace is 10ns in latency whiel the fx57's is 17ns. It makes ahuge differnce. Dualcores need time to mature, jsut wait for intels yonah for notebooks and conroe for desktops, thats dual core Dothan with 4mb shared ultra fast cahce.
