The Griffin (Greek gryphos, Persian شیردال:banana: shirdal "lion-eagle") (also very often spelled gryphon and, less commonly, gryphen, griffon, griffen, or gryphin) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was considered the "King of the Beasts" and the eagle the "King of the Air", the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin is generally represented with four legs, wings and a beak, with eagle-like talons in place of a lion's forelegs and feathered, equine-like ears jutting from its skull. Some traditions say that only female griffins have wings. Some writers describe the tail as a serpent. See the entry Saint George and the Dragon for a 19th century painting of St George and the dragon, showing a dragon very like a classically-conceived griffin. Classical and heraldic griffins are male and female. A "male" griffin, called a keythong in a single 15th century English heraldic manuscript, is an anomaly that belongs strictly to a late phase of English heraldry:

that link wont work :( i tryed google also but i couldnt find good info

[cky2k6]

i dont know, it didnt work for me either, the site is retarded or something, i just copied from the address bar. google amd griffin, it was like the first result, seems reasonable that its a rev g mobile chip. let me try again: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/12/15/amd_mobile_roadmap

[cky2k6]

so now that griffin is revealed, pony up the am3 info :p:

thanks now the weird thing is that i found griffin on a RS690 archive hmm

about AM3 there are 3 supported sockets


AGESARevisionEntry DR AM3/F1207
AGESARevisionEntry Cerebus G1207
AGESARevisionEntry EH AM3

now 1st seems normal but the second one is new to me Cerebus? and G1207 socket :confused:

[cky2k6]

amd fusion. not much is known except it will be possibly similar to the now canceled k10 project. basically, k10 without the insane clockspeed. other parts about core threading and media processing extenions (onboard gpu) are likely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K10

[nn_step]

HTX, DDR3, Vector Processing per an upcoming M$ spec (Part of Vista), and a few things that aren't mentioned

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=30042
16 sockets?
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=30617
FBD?
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=31649
DDR3?
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32854
Shared sockets with Sun?
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35902
New socket incompatible with AM3, integrated PCIe, late 2008

thanks mates seems like i have to read more the inq

nn_step, as usual, post the goddamn links, your word is not gospel, even if the things you mentioned are fairly well known, we learn in what, middle school, that without sources, our statements mean jack. why do i even bother, its not like you'll change your attitude...

In middle school I was learning how to do complex algebra... Don't know which school you went too.

[cky2k6]

good for you :rolleyes: oh yeah, and its to, not too. obviously whichever school you went TO did'nt teach you the difference...

[cky2k6]

right, so back on topic, amd seems to be getting into a whole mess of sockets. from metro.cl's documents, we are going to see am2+, then am3, then g1207 all in a year and a half basically.

[[XC] leviathan18]

am2+ aint a new socket just htt3.0, am3 is going to change ddr3 so maybe we will see a server counterpart so 2 sockets there

[cky2k6]

am3's server counterpart is still socket f i think. after am3, on the desktop, amd apparently will introduce socket g1207 for the desktop when fusion arrives, and it probably will be different from socket f1207. its nothing bad though, intel is still worse with every new core needing a new chipset...
