Introducing
the Intel "Prescott" CPU
|
 The
mystery is about to be revealed. Prescott announced to be launched February
2nd, 2004.
The next level of processor design
is arriving very soon with the Intel P4 Prescott Core
processors, a major upgrade of the Pentium 4 line (these are not called Pentium 5 as some early reports would
have suggested). Now is the time for system builders and PC
resellers to learn about
and prepare for the market launch of this processor core.

"Prescott" Processor
Core - What's New? |
 The Pentium 4 Northwood CPU core has been shrunk and
had a major redesign. Of course Prescott will
still support the features found in the Northwood core but has many
new features and faster clock speeds to make it the next generation
of performance.
*The following information is
taken from Internet sources and is not official from Intel.
- 90 nanometer (0.09
micron process) on 300mm wafers
- Enhancements to
Hyper-Threading Technology and Intel® NetBurst™ architecture
- 800 MHz Front Side
Bus (FSB)
- 16K L1 cache
(2x that of Northwood)
- 1MB L2 cache (2x that of
Northwood)
- microPGA478 package
- 13 new processor instructions
designed to improve performance for special application areas such as
media and gaming
- Compatible with the
Intel® 875P chipset and the Intel® 865 chipset family

"Prescott" Motherboard
/ Case / Power Supply Requirements |
| As expected the new CPU core will require
certain minimum hardware support and BIOS updates. These
requirements cover not only the motherboard but the power supply and
thermal solutions as well. The requirements are:
Motherboard with Prescott supporting
chipset and BIOS updated for the Prescott CPU
* Intel
"Prescott" Processor Support for Intel Desktop Motherboards
Power Supply with minimum
15A current output
on +12 Volt line (even more
may be required depending
on how heavily loaded the system is with extra hard drives or high-end
video cards).
FMB 1.5 (FMB =
Flexible Motherboard) voltage regulation on
the motherboard. Just because your chipset supports Prescott
does not mean your mainboard will support it. The motherboard must
have the correct voltage
regulation.
TAC (Thermally Advantaged Chassis)
also known as a 38 degree Celsius chassis provide 38°C or lower air inlet
temperature to the processor fan heatsink. The incoming air can only
rise by 3 degrees Celsius when it is in the case. This is a design spec
developed by Intel. A TAC case is designed to both cooler and
quieter.

| 802.11a+b+g
Tri-Band Wireless |
|
The
most widely used WLAN technology based on the 802.11 standard is
802.11b, but this standard had been joined by two new standards
known as 802.11a and 802.11g.
802.11g
products are backwards compatible with 802.11b products, because the two
networks use the 2.4 GHz frequency band of the electromagnetic
spectrum. 802.11a products offer networking speeds comparable to
802.11g but use the 5 GHz frequency band, which is less prone to
interference with other home wireless devices that use the 2.4
GHz band. 802.11a have been slow to embrace
standard because of its
incompatibility with older 802.11b products, as well as its
shorter range and higher price tag compared with 802.11b and
802.11g products.
With today's rapidly growing technology D-Link and Netgear offer simultaneous
connections using at least two new 802.11a/b/g tri-band
chipsets.
This new technology will bring 802.11a back competing with other
wireless standards, especially for home wireless user. The
tri-band chipset is separated as 802.11a chip and 802.11g chip,
which is compatible with 802.11b chip.
With the two radios operate in different bands, they can work
simultaneously, blanketing wireless zone with high-speed
bandwidth.
Texas Instruments Inc. is working with access points vendor to
announce a "wOne software" to
support the upcoming single WLAN chipset. The single
802.11a/g chipset can operate simultaneously but it requires
software support and "wOne software" from TI will be
the first to accomplish that. However,
performance will suffer when a WLAN router with TI's software is
operated in simultaneous mode. Users can expect around
20Mbit/sec. of bandwidth when connected to either a single
802.11a or 802.11g network and when the router is supporting
clients on both networking technologies, the bandwidth drops to
around 10Mbit/sec. per client. This is still plenty of
bandwidth for most consumers and small businesses that are
connected to the Internet through 1Mbit/sec. or 2Mbit/sec. cable
modems or Digital Subscriber Line connections. IEEE WLAN

Serial ATA RAID |
|
With the recent surge in SATA drives and hardware entering the market, many
customers are choosing to utilize the enhanced transfer rates and cost
effectiveness of these new drives to store and manage their data. SATA
technology entered the market at an impressive 1.5 Gigabits/sec data throughput
rate last year with the promise of follow-on generations coming in at 3
Gigabits/Sec, and then 6 Gigabits/sec respectively.
While the current generation
of SATA is not quite as fast as the I/O available with SCSI storage, the price
delta continues to make it a very attractive alternative. Serial ATA is
primarily aimed at 4 markets; Desktop PCs, Workstations, Sub-entry Level
Servers, and Entry Level Servers. With the importance of data in today's world,
it's not uncommon to see even simple desktop systems being ordered with software
or hardware RAID controllers (if not already built into the motherboard), and
with an additional hard drive to either protect the users data or to enhance
transfer rates by utilizing a striping configuration of their drives. Serial ATA
has helped to make this a much simpler and more cost effective solution to
almost every user.
Benefits of Serial ATA and Serial ATA RAID
With all of the demanding applications that customers are using their PCs for
these days (Streaming Video, Audio, Video Production, Database Management),
performance is something that must be at the top of the list for anyone looking
to purchase storage devices. With Serial ATA you know exactly what you are
getting. All of the current Serial ATA devices available today run at a
resounding 1.5 Gigabits/sec., this is faster than any currently available
parallel IDE device available today and and probably any created in the future.
SATA drives are also easier to configure than their counterparts, the
Parallel ATA Drives (PATA). Serial ATA drives have no jumpers. No more "Master,
Slave, or Cable Select" tinkering to be done on the inside of your system while
gripping your needle nose pliers swearing that you set it right before you
installed it into the chassis.
Serial ATA works on a Point-to-Point Connection
scheme which eliminates having more than one drive on each cable. Each device
has a separate connection path between the host and the device which allows the
transmission of data in parallel. A very important side benefit to this
technology is Command optimization. Commands for the SATA device can be stacked
up for immediate execution without having to wait for responses on a shared I/O
bus, thus allowing quicker response times and higher overall performance.
Many customers have began to shift their entry level servers into using SATA
drives to replace the more costly SCSI units that they have been stuck using up
until now. The cost benefit of SATA is dramatic when looked at against the total
solution cost of using SCSI devices, but negligible when comparing them to PATA
drives. Cost-conscious small business users have been jumping at the chance to
replace their costly SCSI arrays with low cost, high performance SATA arrays.
With SATA drives already available in the 250GB + range, having Terabyte storage
in rack mount c hassis is not hard to imagine.
SATA drives are hot-swappable
which both increases reliability and minimizes downtime of your servers in the
event of a failure. Extended cable lengths (more then double the length
available with Parallel ATA), and also thinner, more flexible cables, help to
add to the attractiveness of using these drives in mass-storage configurations.
In addition to increased airflow due
to smaller cables inside of your chassis, SATA hard drives are also low voltage
devices, which helps to keep temperatures down when crowded together in your
rack.
Review
In a quick and easy to see fashion, here are several great reasons for you to
be looking into SATA for your storage and RAID needs:
- Cost - Negligible cost increase over Parallel ATA, huge delta when
compared to SCSI
- Hot-Swappable -
Perfect for critical RAID arrays in important
servers
- Performance -
High Speed Point-to-Point Architecture, separate
connections for each drive
- Command optimization -
Queued commands for immediate
execution, no waiting
- Low-Voltage -
Less heat, longer life, less power drain on your
server
- Simplified Connections -
No more jumpers to worry about
- Improved Cabling -
Thinner, longer cables block less airflow and
allow better drive placement in your systems
