thats pretty quick for that clock, looks good!

[=[PULSAR]=]

On the AMD RoadMap (http://www.c627627.com/AMD/Athlon64/) that looks to be a 4000+ Venice Core ;)

2.6Ghz on stock volts looks like were gettin back to the good old days when Winnie's clocked high :D

[OC Detective]

It has 1Mb of L2 cache so seems like it is a multi crippled 90nm FX55

[=[PULSAR]=]

Correction it may be a San Diego core :)

[Gitsum]

Where did it come from?

[conrad.maranan]

Where did it come from?
That's what I wanna know.

[STEvil]

I want one :D

[=[PULSAR]=]

Anyone from XS ever thought of organize a bulk order for chips or cards?

[Tirlista]

Very nice. Just like everyone, I'll be keen to see how they clock and scale with better cooling and voltage.

Definitely fast times for that clock. My 3200 winnie can do 32s running at ~250x10 with GSkill LEs, so that CPU looks very promising!

[texuspete00]

It has 1Mb of L2 cache so seems like it is a multi crippled 90nm FX55

I don't mind. Glad to see more 1mb chips. Other than clockspeed and die size wise.... AMD has done nothing to improve A64's. In fact, they have enjoyed the perceived performance lead on intel and done everything to cripple them besides a few clockrate bumps. They want us all to buy 512kb cache chips and now semprons are getting mixed 256->128kb. Anyways... a nice claw from eons ago gives new cpus a run for their money. However small 2mb cache is for P4's, at least their improving thier cpu line. When this die switch is successful I want 1mb cache again... f' it give the FX more.

[Geforce4ti4200]

Id like to see how high this diego 4200+(multi locked 90nm fx55 basically) overclocks! This I want to see more than anything else.

[eva2000]

love to see the improved mem controller in action i.e.

4x 256MB @>DDR400 1T
4x 512MB @ >DDR400 1T

[Mikael]

Looks nice! I wonder, though, what's the stock performance of an FX-55 in SuperPi (I probably should know this...)?

not sure but I hit 34s with my winny at only 2.4GHz so I really hope that 4200+ hits 30s at 2.6GHz cause of the cache. As for ondie controller, I hope this and Venice are capable of over 300fsb easy even with 2x512mb sticks, I can only hit 262 with my winny :stick:

Thanks, but we need something more than SuperPi results! I'm so eager to se if there will be any performance advantage compared to the older revisions. Something tells me that SuperPi isn't going to show much of these supposed advantages...

[conrad.maranan]

Here's a Newcastle 3500+ at 10x261MHz with 2x512MB of VX running 1:1 2-2-2-10-1T. Let's see how much of a difference tweaking your memory will do with the same CPU clocks. I'd also appreciate seeing a few other types of benching apps put to use as well. :)

[Geforce4ti4200]

who owns this diego cpu? why hasnt he overclocked it yet! thats the big thing everyone is waiting for, has amd's new process allowed for higher clocks vs. 130nm?


"Like..."

overclock the cpu as far as itll go and run a whole suite of benchmarks including 3dmark 2001 :slobber:

[Mikael]

Like...
:p: The SuperPI phenomenon is so widely spread that people seem to think it's the only performance measure that matters anymore!

Well, I could list a few programs that I personally find more interesting:

Hexus Pifast
WinRAR
ScienceMark
Lame encoding
Maybe even a run of PCMark04

There's nothing wrong with SuperPi, but I don't think that it alone can be used to tell very much about a CPU. I guess I'll get the whole community on my back now...

[Arseface]

Sorry - I didn't mean to sound like a tool!

I just wondered what people thought were better CPU tests than super-pi, as it is the one thing I would have thought of immediately to test the CPU (rather than the system as a whole).


But yeah - I really want to see how the venice/san-diego cores overclock! I've got a crappy clocking FX here sitting on phase change at only 3Ghz, and I'm looking at getting a 90nm FX55 if they clock as well as I'm hoping they will!

[REDKEN]

More input..more input!

[VVJ]

I second this

[Brandybuck]

i think its o/c capacity is better than fx 55:toast:

[Nube]

My winnie @ 2600mhz pr rating is 4150+... i get 32s superpi 1m also..

These are likely engineering samples you dont buy them when they are first issued out for field testing you are merely lucky enough to receive one to test.

[Stewie007]

I'm saving up my money hehe....

[=[PULSAR]=]

I think alot of people are missing the point of the 1MB of cache. Everyone is posting screenies at 2.6ghz and 32s 1M, what everyone is forgettin is the ram on the 4200+ is running at 200mhz. Everyone posting 32s is atleast a 250mhz and tight timings.

[austinbmxnig]

yeah i think it has the potential to kick alot of ass

[J-Mag]

they extra 1mb cache doesnt make much of a difference in superpi i guess, but it should overclock :)

Why would you think a 1mb cache would help overclock?

In my mind the more transistors you have on a chip the LESS ability it will have to overclock because there is more likelihood that one of thoose transistors can't take the strain of increased speed.

[Chr0n1c]

:eek: Looks very nice, I wonder what it will cost.

[nebuchanezzar]

I'm happy to see teh 1m cache. thats basically worth an extra 1 or 2 hundred mhz in effect, thats how it affects 3dmark01 so much. Thats why clawhammers are rated the same P ratings as newcastles 200mhz lower in actual clock speed. That new core kicked 32 seconds...stock. That should leave lotsa room for improvement(we all hope)

[UCmajewski]

so i guess its safe to assume that the FX 57 is coming out soon!

[blueworm]

If a 4200+ is surfacing this could only mean that its release is imminent. This said I cant see the 4200+ bieng around at the same time as FX55.
IIRC the 4000+ was not released until FX55 came out.
Perhaps they will release 4200+ and FX57 before Q3.

This is pretty cool nonetheless. Whoever is playing with this chip, can you overclock it please for us? :toast:

2.6ghz @1.4v though, wow.

have a pic of the heatsink it comes with? does it have heatpipes like the fx55 heatsink? i guess no because it runs much cooler since its a 90nm chip, but maybe were lucky and amd is bundling the same sweet heatsinks of the fx55 chips with them! :D

I've got a feeling that this will turn out to be one of the new 90nm San-Diego FX55s, rather than the 4200+ (although they should be essentially the same chip). Of course I *hope* it will be a 4200+, as that would imply the imminent release of the FX57, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

:D Hey AF, share Your hopes but to be realistic the FX-57 will appear in Q3.

But I think we don't have to speculate about it - I bet a monthly income that in the same hour the FX-57 will be released an XS member will post it here so we are all on the safer side here at XS........ :toast:

That is what Iwas trying to say in my post. If I get 32s with a winnie oc'ed and these chips do those speeds stock with 200FSB that is a fairly impressive starting point! :)

As said, an FX55 on Neo2 also pulls 32s at stock. The potential for these chips looks good. I'd love to see some 3d01 comparisons between this cpu and a FX55.

[c627627]

Hello sxs112,

It does not make any marketing sense whatsoever for a 4200+ San Diego to have been produced in the first batch of Venice & San Diego CPUs that are now in the first weeks of production.

4200+ cannot coexist with FX-55, it can only do so with FX-57,
just like 2.4 GHz 4000+ 939 CH and 2.6 GHz Fx-55 939 CH are coexisting.

4200+ San Diego is (well, was earlier this year) a Q4 2005 product with limited availability toward the end of Q3 2005.

That's Fall 2005. Even if it's pushed up, we're just out of February 2005, way too early for any 4200+ San Diego.

Even if you have an Engineering sample, it may may not be as indicative as when multiple sources start reporting OC results from first real batches of them...


First Venice/San Diego CPUs should be here either later this month or early April 2005 which is not bad considering that earlier this year we expected them toward the end of Q2 2005 in limited quantities.

[cupra]

look like the athlon 64 = fx-55 :|

sxs112 was the first here with pics of NF4 boards, I'm more than certain hes from Taiwan, and its pretty widely known that in Taiwan, NDA's are about as powerful as Hondas.

Instead of calling him a faker, Ace, do a bit of research on the person you're bashing.

[VVJ]

sxs112, do you know how many physical cores does your Athlon64 have? By the way, you may use Central Brain Identifier tool to get much more specific information on your AMD processor. I’ve just added for you an option to retrieve a maximum case temperature directly from the processor. Probably, you have already known that this feature was implemented in all D0 and higher AMD64 processors and it represents the highest die temperature. Here’s the link http://cbid.amdclub.ru/files/cbid74t.zip

just like 2.4 GHz 4000+ 939 CH and 2.6 GHz Fx-55 939 CH are coexisting.

4200+ San Diego is (well, was earlier this year) a Q4 2005 product with limited availability toward the end of Q3 2005.

That's Fall 2005. Even if it's pushed up, we're just out of February 2005, way too early for any 4200+ San Diego.

Even if you have an Engineering sample, it may may not be as indicative as when multiple sources start reporting OC results from first real batches of them...


First Venice/San Diego CPUs should be here either later this month or early April 2005 which is not bad considering that earlier this year we expected them toward the end of Q2 2005 in limited quantities.



No, the 4200+ is not a Q4 product. It was shown on older roadmaps as an early Q3 product. Moved forward perhaps due to success with Rev E 90nm parts.

nifty. i like the new box. :toast:

Nah... that's the packaging AMD gives out to employee's and testers for their "beta" chips.

I used to know a guy who'd get a trunk load from of them from AMD and give them out to people as kind of a promotion.

That was way back when though... it appears the package them the same though.

I'm willing to bet it will play out like when the FX-55 came out. The FX-55 will be rebadged the 4200+, but with locked multi, and the FX-57 will be the lone FX chip in production. (This is assuming the FX-55 comes out in 90nm form before the FX-57 release, I doubt the 4200+ will be clawhammer)

I wonder what chip will appear, if AMD speeds everything up, there might not come an FX-55 .09nm right? :rolleyes:

The store prices might not go down that much, but you can be sure guys will probably be selling their FX55s etc to recoup the high costs of being an early adopter of the FX57. Might be best to get one that way. :thumbsup:

why would amd suddenly start locking the downward multi's on their chips? i think it's still unlocked below stock for cool&quiet to work :toast:

The only reason the downward multiplyers were unlocked was for "Cool and quite" Right? Everything i have read was in C&Q, is it dosnt work too well, and there no point to use it, as most A64s run pretty cool at full clocks, (stock speed) so why use it? Mabey AMD is going to drop cool and quite, thus not needing any multiplyer expect the stock one.

jsut a shot in the dark...

the 4200+ looks sweet... ohh my 3800+ seems so week... (it was free, AMD RMAed it to me to replace a 3500+ 90nm, i still feel ripped) ohh well...

[ozzimark]

yeah, i doubt they'd drop that though.. i know i use a form of it. it's nice to be able to have a 28c idle sometimes :toast:
(though that temp is most likely off as the bios reports 38c no matter what the clock/voltage/air temp is)

though, i'm beginning to think that the turion will be a much 'better' chip than these high end a64's purely because they'll be a lot cheaper and still overclock like mad.

Everything you have read is wrong, then. :)

C&Q works very well, and far from dropping it, it is being enhanced. It makes a big difference when idling/running low-stress applications (think: Word).

That will be very odd, to not release them in a pair.

Just read the link... ehhh. Xbit quoting "some sources" which are obviously confused.

More of that vr-zone error spreading around, I think.

There is no way they release a 4400+ in Q2. That would be the FX-57 equivalent, requiring an FX-59 on the market. Makes no sense at all.

Given that error, one doubts the rest of it.

If the pictured part here was an engineering sample, Q2 (April, say) may actually be the likely launch for the 4200+ (and probably also the FX-57 at the same time.)

:banana4: WOW, Well I'm sure everybody noticed that amd 64 4200+ was not listed as such, it is listed in post as 2200+. xsx states bios carries on error to display wrong reading, if I read that post correctly.

Dear all:
the whole test was done on a sample MB, which Bios version was not even over 1.XX yet, there was no options in bios that he can adjust for OC. The CPU fan used in the test was for P4 3.0EG (Sanyo Denki, 0.44A) . All I know is that the CPU stays at very low temperature during the whole test. I'm just happen to be a person who knows the tester. BTW, he just had it on hand for very short time, that's another reason why no other test done. Please just read the information but don't.... I hope you guys can realise it. Thanks :)

sxs112, do you know how many physical cores does your Athlon64 have? By the way, you may use Central Brain Identifier tool to get much more specific information on your AMD processor. I’ve just added for you an option to retrieve a maximum case temperature directly from the processor. Probably, you have already known that this feature was implemented in all D0 and higher AMD64 processors and it represents the highest die temperature.

:stick: At least some partners of chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices have received AMD Athlon 64 4200+ microprocessor which is made using 90nm process technology and sports numerous enhancements over currently available Athlon 64 4000+ and FX-55 models.

A Chinese web-site’s forum member has posted what he claimed to be a benchmark result of the AMD Athlon 64 4200+ processor as well as a screenshot from a microprocessor identification program which could not correctly determine the brand-name of the product, but could reveal its specifications. At press-time the pictures were available over XtremeSystems.org and Digital-Info web-sites.

AMD’s Athlon 64 4200+ processor is clocked at 2.60GHz, contain 1MB of L2 cache and sport dual-channel PC3200 memory controller, copying major specs of the currently shipping AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor for Socket 939 infrastructure. However, the Athlon 64 4200+ is made using 90nm fabrication processor, sports SSE3 instructions as well as minor memory controller enhancements. Potentially, the chip may also fit into lower thermal envelope than the FX-55 model. AS GHZ DIDN'T INCREASE LETS GUESS ITS FX-57 AT 90NM. IN OTHER WORDS GETTING MORE FROM SMALLER SCALE AS STATED BY ALLEN (above from tech connect yesterday), YET IS IT? OR IS IT REALLY HAVE FEW MORE MULTIPLIERS (ASSEMBLY LINES) WAITING TO BE TURNED ON?

[Geforce4ti4200]

well amd's roadmap shows Venice going to at least 2.8GHz so its natural we can assume those to overclock to at least that with subsquent batches only improving from there and hitting over 3GHz. as for that fx55, it may be 130nm, avoid it, get a fx57 shortly!

[terrace215]

What tells you that this is a Rev E A64 4200+, as opposed to a Rev E FX-55?

Did AMD indicate this was a sample for the former?

They have the same characteristics, other than overclocking locking.

I ask because a 4200+ part implies an FX-57 part at the same time,(to keep up the FX "fastest part" reputation) but if this is just the 90nm Rev E FX-55, there is no such implication.

[OC Detective]

Terrace, the cpuid value for the Rev E San Diegos is finalised at 20F71 this ES is 20F70 so I guess it could be either as it is clearly an early sampling.

If they are sampling it as a 4200+, it implies they have an FX-57 about to launch with it.

If they are sampling is as the Rev E 90nm FX-55, it doesn't imply that.

We've been assuming it is the 4200+. I was hoping there was some basis for that assumption, and that sxs might comment.

it is a revE K8-939 CPU (F13140 D43NK00) .....that's all I can tell....

:) Well I just read that 5april '05 will be day of introduction of new amd processors from AMD & fx-57/4200+ is believed to be amoung them. It is clearly admitted that new units will need bios update from mainboard 939 pin manufacurer, so i am confidant that first test pages show are accurate & true, I kind of figured that, yet as I too stated, bios dosn't report unknown (more modern than bios) processors correctly.
Study of mediciene is most important art to civilazation, oh sure there are millions of nvr'do wells who have ideas of self importance, Hon means killing with smile, phd means "cheatring is possible, I have no idea about subject", Rev. means I found new group of suckers, JD means i got caught at mediciene & want that hon. Judges ass. etc. So I'm use to profane comments. I am MEDICAL DOCTOR by GOVENORS' SIGNATURE. Its little differnt than you think, yet spare cats & tadpoles may go together, CHEMISTRY is prime subject of mediciene.I could go on, yet put L word on those who hate.
FX-59 is believed to be end of line for fx series, as dual core is so near. So fx-57 is mainly moving to 90 nm process & basicly entire fx series is about to retire from forefront within 6 months or so.I am glad sxs112 shared very confidential information.Keep letting us know so we can all keep count of whole trading bin of "DOCTOR" stuff, people.

the 4200+ and fx57 will be san diego rev E4 and i think they will be released around april 15th, sorry if this is not news, but the last posts of this thread look like you didnt know it was a san diego rev E4. :D

[computerpro3]

thnk the 4200 will hit 3.2 under a mach1 or should I go for the fx-57?

[saaya]

"hit" meaning max screenshot speed? the 3800+ venice already did 3.5ghz on a mach2 gt for a screenshot :D

steven posted a screenshot in the 3500+ preview thread, maybe also in the 3800+ thread, not sure about that.

[Impaqt]

Yeah, the CPUID isn't going to help here, as really, there is NO DIFFERENCE (but for overclocking locked/unlocked) between the 4000+ and the FX-53, the 4200+ and the FX-55, and the 4400+ and the FX-57.

They are the same parts.
.

THe 4200+ is 90nm. The FX-55 is 130nm. thats NOT the same processor in any sense of the term.

Its mor likely thatthe 4200+ will be a FX-57 thats been downclocked on multi.

[terrace215]

Sigh. The *90nm* FX-55, which showed up on disti lists as a future product last month.

That's the question: Is the sample a 4200+, or a 90nm FX-55? That is, how will it be branded? The former *implies* AMD will launch the FX-57 (at 2.8GHz) at the same time as the 4200+. If it is merely to be launched as the 90nm Rev E FX-55, no such implication is there, and it will probably be Q3 before we see the FX-57.

apversteeg I hate you :P ... why do you have to post pictures of it and you don't/can't OC it yet ?

[trakslacker]

I believe he has OC'ed it and knows just waht it can do. However he cant tell the rest of us that just yet. ;)

Just get us the results as soon as you are allowed to. :toast:

a.p.versteeg do you really own that chip? Or did you just take the pic from someone who posted the same thing on that Dutch board someone referred to earlier. Are you the same person?

He has the same nick, so I guess he is the same person... :p:

when they will be finally out, ready for buy the 4200 chips??

3.3 on stock volts...........and since when has cpu-z recognised the new cores?

hahah well your secret is out now... so much for that...

3.3g @1.4vcore is nuts though

[cupra]

that is nice, but i think that we need to wait and see more benchmarking programs :D

Some of these things can be deleated, can't they?
