AMD Shanghai 45nm Opteron up close

Hello !!!

Quote:

We had a chance to see AMD's four quad-core 45nm processor, codenamed Shanghai, and we can report that the new CPU has 4x64KB data, 4x64KB instructions, 4x512KB date and a massive 6MB of L3 cache.

We don’t have the frequencies, we don’t have anything better than that it comes in second half of 2008 and that it needs 1.150V to run. It will be able to go over 3GHz, but we don’t know the exact speed.

Enjoy the pictures.

CPUZ won't even tell you the clockspeed? What's up with that?

Maye it can't go over 1Ghz so they somehow masked it :rofl:

Is it a quad with 16 thread or 4 quad?

:ROTF: or maybe cpuz doesn't report cpu clock speeds 1ghz and lower. :D

0nm??AMD is really advanced in their manufacturing process:p:
a P1M would be great:)

and while they were at it they wiped their arse with the laws of math.. 0mhz*0=15,02mhz !_! :D

Some bug probably, maybe you like this one more :p:
(also from the "low-scores" page)

with phenom out those low scores have some serious competition now...

Just a die shrink or any optimizations?

Cache size for one.

weren't they supposed to get more sse4 instructions in shanghai (barcelona has the brain dead version of sse4, its like 3 or 4 instructions...)

I personally don't like it.
This is what AMD did exactly with Barc. They seemed to be afraid of showing Barc, and see what happened.

I fear Shanghai will be as bad as some people are reckoning.

What I'm thinking is that they would be screaming their heads off even if it (this early version) worked at 1GHz but had amazing IPC performance..

Let's hope AMD prove me wrong. :)
