Non pr look at whats on the shelves or running in machines all over the globe.
K8 Opterons have done well for there field not getting much glory but keeping a lot of servers running
K10 Barcelona, limited to 2G and under but perform on par with older 2.2-2.4G K8 chips in computational...
Performance is better than anything AMD has in the Athlon line and some of the older Intel lines But I won't make compares to Intel.
I've taken a 9500 2.4G against my 5600 X2 2.8 and there is a noticeable improvement knocking a few seconds off of the time with both running two threads from one...
Loose lips sink iron ships.
Intel is doing a bang up job on AMD do we really have to bitch fest online about it. If people love intel so much then go drink the blue coolaid and stop pissing in the green coolaid :D
Think of it as a 3 dimensional chart or matrix all three are constantly in play, better tech is affecting the other 2.
Cores moved in the x direction (wider).
Speed moves in the y direction (higher).
Technology moves in the z direction (forward).
We are near the point where n-cores is...
The process on the X2s has had time to mature, Phenom is just a baby in terms of maturity. If and when AMD gets it right, you'll see them move up. The C1 stepping has not been released yet.
New tech is under development but it is under closed wraps. What I know of it so far is that the cache...
I would not be surprised if they have a way to channel ram between off die cores with CSI or the new IMC. That would carry this core welding into the future.
I've seen blurbs that a Neha on 775 may be release which may be possible to have 3 welded cores by 32nm making it 6 cores. Which kicks in...
I've got one on the way, but yes the mobo issue is the dangling what if. I should have the little marvel in my hands by Tuesday. I have email into ECS to find out if any current boards will run it but the L3 will not be visible on my BIOS which assuming it posts then the L3 would be always...
Hold onto your current chip for now and wait for the Penryns to drop. It's going to make a world of difference.
For me Phenom is going to be a nice addition to my current rigs replacing a 2.2G 4600 with a 2.2G Phenom. The 4600 never oced worth a crap, getting 2.5 out of the Phenom will be a...
I got a list of the line and prices on both the desktop and server lines. They both look to be a great lineup at nice prices. Just need to find a board to match.
Die shrinks require a change in geometry of the circuits a change in masking and the materials used. It won't help AMD to jump to 55nm when work on 45nm has already begun. It is quite complex and expensive to setup. This is why once you start up a run, you want to get as much through as possible...
One year ago Brisbanes were not that great, now 2.7G versions are out meaning that 65nm does work. The big question now is will Phenom do this in under 6 months since the window is tighter with the current market. 2.2-2.4 sans-errata is not bad for an introduction except that the bar is at 3.0G...
AMD will start to do better not that it's not acquiring companies, starting up a fab as 36 was just getting underway and convereting 30 to 38.
Phenom is out along with the support or Brisbane and Windsor duals and some single cores.
A new chipsets that look good for the middle and low end...
I've checked and ECS has not released one, I may be getting another board. I too wanted to test the plug and pray. If it works then I should be able to get in and check voltages. The VCore is pegged at 1.4V on these MATX boards so I don't fear an overvolt but will I see all four cores?
