Heh I see dread77 with the 4th comment on the 1st page.

I don't have experience with the AMD Overdrive app - so no idea what to look for if it's legit or not. I would presume it is though, especially if they are doing a webcast.

FAKE ?

I can't understand what your main problem is??? You became a member in OKTABIT's swearing and using foul language just to claim that this screenshot is fake??? For God's name!!!
Can't you understand that OKTABIT is an exclusive AMD supplier in Greece and COULD NEVER post fake screenshots???
Not even for marketing reasons. How difficult is it for you to understand???

ok sorry
i wat respect you, but i don't like the people then post the fake.

i don't know if you are one of faker but i want give you 1 possibility for a demostraction.

ok ?

So next time take a little time to see if there is anyway that it could be fake before coming here and screaming it was fake. It happens a lot around here and usually when anything that shows AMD doing something that no one thinks can be done is done. Give it 2 more days for this live preview then come back and make a statement.

You are welcome to visit OKTABIT's lab in Athens and have a live demonstration whenever you want.
(you are paying your flight tickets):ROTF:

Until then, you just have to wait for more screenshots and on the 10th you can watch the live web demonstration.

Based on Shanghai power consumption, typical problems of early new CPUs to have problems with temperature sensors, etc. But in the end, the idle temperature doesn't matter very much as compared to the load temperature and both are subject to error and therefore less important that actual power consumption.

9950 coolerThat's not bad at all, I've never seen a 3.8GHz i7 or C2Q that cool at idle, even with XSPC Delta V3 waterblocks they tend to run in the high 30s, water just keeps the delta-T down.

What are your load temps?
How long is it Prime Stable?

How long is it Prime Stable? Not tested with Prime95, 100% through all benchmarks

No broken thermal sensors (other samples around are giving same results), no fake screenshots... Most definitely do not want to lose my reliability among XS members, I only post what I saw and can prove.

There are something like 20 CPU's here at XS that have ran the Chess benchmark at between 4-4.35GHz, none of them were crashing or throttling. That benchmark fully loads all cores 100% and does 8 threads. I have one at 3.8GHz and have ran that bench and am over 30 degrees from the TjMax with a box stock cooler, when the cores are fully loaded for 10 minutes HT enabled 8 threads. It reaches max temp and planes off at around 2 minutes of calcultions. Once it reaches that temp it stays there. Not even near the TM limit.

First ES/steppings which dont hit retail are early CPU's as well:rolleyes:

Since ambient should be around 20, I think 28 on idle does say a lot. Especially if you consider that both 9850BE and 6400+ idle with a TRUE where like ~30 on stock with ~20 ambient.

It means very little without knowing the accuracy of temperature sensor; if there was a power consumption figure then that could corroborate or reject the idle value.

6.5GHz seems plausible, but 7ghz would be awesome

Near being? Possibly tops at 6.5-6.8, depending on how well the higher clocks scale with vCore. 2.2V and cherry picked CPU with finely tweaked BIOS could possibly get near 6.6-6.9 GHz. I doubt it though.

Had to press 'print screen' really fast for that one :p:

Anyway, we now know that it's actually running at such low temperatures, no cores were disabled and that these processors are not cherry picked as they were picked from a random stash of cpu's and apparently someone from the crowd had to pick the cpu's that were benched.

Petri and Sampsa apparently hit the highest frequencies yet on an Phenom II :D.

So the results are great. But talking about the broadcast again....if you ask me it was something like this...

The broadcast is announced.....the horde of ATI fans that desperately want the 8.12 FINAL and GTA IV patch now start their assault over the poor chat room. People are preparing to show the Dragon platform at 6GHz with no CB, but the horde screams for the precious 8.12. So the broadcast begins...My o my..nice results....We see the live event, we see the nice results....and then 4 people sitting on a couch (SF3D, Sampsa, etc) and the moderator....and they look at the camera....and nobody speaks.....Finnaly the talk show starts, and ....there is an awfull lag between the voice and the image....So...the fans start shouting and crying on the forum. The chat mod, obviously an IT genius, goes to the rescue, so he bans half of the ATI fans fron the chat....And of course, the broadcast stops...:shakes:

What about numbers of benchmarks, such as spi1m, spi32m, 3DM 06, any WR breaks? Overclock is amazing, but score numbers are more interesting to me, than max clock. I have Intel P4 65nm that can do spi1m at 6.5 GHz with LN2, but time can not compare with C2D at 4GHz. So when we can se numbers of benchmark that enthusiasts use with subzero setups?

The min frame - i7 thing (I think it's pretty much BS though.)
They mentioned similar average framerates compared to the i7 too.



Everybody legal is gagged, so most of the attention whores have resorted to giving out fake infos and benchmarks. The Opteron is a good reference point but so far there isn't much real benchmark info at all.


Oh, and benchmarks will pop up on the 20th of December. :)

With the low HT speed you would assume the NB speed is just as low.
Why would you assume that. It's completely undepended of each other and in some cases the CPU does OC better with low HT link, but same cant be said about low NB speed. Maybe the NB ran at the same speed, but it wouldnt have made a difference, pretty much irrelevant really:confused:

3.64GHz, 22C Idle, it was cold today though, limit was 3.8 but that was at the same max HT as a 4200+ so probably the board not the CPU, CPU-z is misreading it as a 940, actually was a 920. Still waiting for a 940 and it's unlocked multiplier.

4 cores ... yey:)

I've looked at the video some times now especially the benching part.
The voltage set for 6,3Ghz is from what i've seen is 1,963 Volt.

When the guy sets 6,0Ghz you see shortly that he moves the mouse to core 0 and that he sets the multiplyer. the box where you can set -copy to all cores- is off. So in my view they only aply it to one core. For the move to 6,1Ghz he uses core 1 to get the clock.

All i what to say is get me some decent air benches
But nomather what i'll be getting a 940

We have been hearing about 1.9v OC's for a week now. the 3.9 on air was at 1.54 and somone that was there said the AMD guy stated that was well within Denebs safe limit. With that the 1.9 doesnt sound that rediculous.

well yes he used core 0 for 6GHz and core 1 for the next step: 6,1GHz, would that mean 2 out of 4 cores where at +6Ghz?
And y did CPU-Z show the 6100Mhz after he set the core-1 multi to 6,1 GHz without changing the Core in cpu-z? or did he?
It always shows Core#0 at CPU-Z. so if he only changed Core-Multi-1 y should CPU-Z show Core#0 at 6,1GHz and not still 6,0GHz
I hope u get what i mean .. kinda hard to explain for me sry..
so maybe this was for all 4 cores? AOD bug?

So can these Phenom II clock their cores independently or not?
This could be a very good thing, we could have 2 higher-clocked cores for "hard work" and 2 lower-clocked cores for backup. This way we could allow higher clocks\less heat\less consumption for the CPU and have a boost on single\dual-threaded applications.

Better that this is only having Cool'n'Quiet working independently for each core.

the settings were applied to all CPU cores (note the "Copy to all CPUs" part that is selected). the tool is modifying the P-state 0&1 parameters (= CPU Multiplier (FID), CPU Voltage (VID) etc).

the old-school guy (= Pete) preferred the classic P-state tool while Team Finland (Sampsa&SF3D) used AMD OverDrive for Overclocking.

the public tool that allows adjustment of those parameters (and more) is AMD OverDrive.

the rest of the Pstates are used by CoolNQuiet automatically.

Must explain abit more what i mean't. K10's have five p-state registers but use only two of them. Is it possible to use the other three states or is the number of usable p-states locked? In the past I tried to modify all the pci and msr registers related to p-states i coud find but only p-states 0 and 1 where selectable. I assumed it had to do with CPI tables not beeing updated and those are used by the CnQ drivers. It's like that under linux.
Would be nice to utilize a third p-state for a turbo like configuration.

Its interesting how big a jump it been for amd from 65nm to 45nm.
65nm 3ghz+ with some real ahrd ehaded cooling and with 45nm it just runs so much better.
20% improvement in clocks isnt that much to go for but 4 cores run 4ghz+ even on air is really good.

the silicon/metal they use for the chips most be different from 65 to 45nm?
