965 motherboard that is VRM 11 compliant can technically support 45-nm

45nm和Core系列一样使用VRM11
现在就看intel会不会人为给965制造兼容阻力了

VRM 11 Required For 45-nm Processors
One reason for varying processor support is the voltage regulator circuit of 3-series motherboards. It needs to be VRM 11.0 compliant, which is key when it comes to 45-nm processor support. Let me say that the problem isn't decreasing voltage levels, but strong power fluctuation due to millions of transistors clocking up and down, or switching on and off. Remember that future quad-core processors will be able to dynamically adjust clock speeds for each core individually, and switch cores on and off depending on the workload.

This also means that any 965 motherboard that is VRM 11 compliant can technically support 45-nm processors. VRM 11 says that the circuit is programmed using 8-bit voltage IDs (VID), allowing for 0.00625 V voltage increments. The minimum operating voltage isn't 0.8375 V (as in VRM 10), but goes down all the way to 0.5 V. VRM 11 also comes with the option to share the load across more phases, and the circuit runs so-called dual edge modulation, which means that the controllers send multiple impulses to the transistors while using smaller capacitors. The goal isn't just to provide smaller voltage increments and less voltage for the 45-nm processor generation, but also to provide sufficient power at voltage levels that may switch frequently. This can be done by specifying tight slew rates.

肯定制造的，英特尔最阴险狡诈了

所以要买厚道的nv产品

nf2一代对抗kt266a——kt800这么多产品，还全部占上风

唉 希望AMD能制造足够的压力 :``:

VRM相同的话就算有其他限制，到时自然可以偷偷开放给厂商的，975不就是这么过来的嘛
965走中低端，P35走中高端，没有啥不合理的说

PS：
看amd最新的roadmap，怎么看怎么觉得奇怪..........
有一些东西都在有意拖延.........
偶不信AMD一点压力都没有.........
very奇怪

975从定位本身来说就在intel定义的core芯片组里，一开始无法支持就是VRM不对，intel后来自己出了支持core的975主板就是态度的证明，相比之下没有一张原厂945能支持到

如果965能只刷BIOS就支持45nm就神了，965的好板就现在来说比P35多得多，要是一降价就无敌
比如Commando假如能跌到1500左右价格的话就是神板

按照英特尔的风格，老一代主板很快就会淘汰的

降价不可能，因为他还有下一代低端的p33这类的东西需要推销

要么就是965降价但不支持新cpu
