Independent core clocking and 3 tier cache FTW!!!

AMD I LUVZ U!!!!

It's taken a while but I reckon this is gonna be a good 'un. And will probably be released not long after I upgrade to c2d.

 

[darkorb]

Wow that looks insane!

 

[TJS]

Just like with the C2D, the proof is in the pudding. I wanna see benchmarks before I hear any talk of being '40% faster than the competition'. The C2D delivered, let's see AMD walk the walk.

That said, I have long been an AMD fan so I hope this is true. The seperate clocks per core sounds especially nice, max OC on a couple for the games and leave the other two to deal with other duties... keeping the temps down and the speed up.

Sounds tasty:yumyum: :yumyum:

Nice find Yeungster

This sounds like AMD's saviour IF performance is as good as they claim it will be. I would buy a new rig based on this architecture if I could get a 40% increase over a Q6700/Q6600 (my proposed future upgrade).

The features sound incredible.

TJS (or anyone) - do you think that will really be possible? I'm curious because I was not aware you could 'force' an app to use a specific core (other than changing affinity in prime95) so say you OC core 1&2 leaving 3&4 at stock, how could you make the games run on core 1&2 whilst making anything else run on 3&4?

A spot of speculation anyone?

Task Manager -> Processes -> Set Affinity?

 

[Mr. Smith]

Task Manager -> Processes -> Set Affinity?

How to make me look dumb in 5 words! I thought you could only set priority in there, well, you live and learn. Cheers vadeR

With this new found knowledge I'm pretty excited about this chip!

I think that deserves a.... :0wned:

Frag im so glad you had me get that setup. When i buy a K10 my machine is going to OWN!!!

I know, u lucky little SOB!! Now I'm gonna want it.... But I musn't, and I can't and yeah, NO!!!! Say no to spending money.

 

[TJS]

Gotta start saving money, yeah, but some of my stuff still needs to be upgraded... like my 17" Samsung LCD. It's great, no dead pixels in two and a half years, 8ms for gaming... but I would really like a 22" monitor, that OCZ RAM cooler that Frag had on his phased rig... no K10 in the near future. oh well
