It may be that Amd also was demoing a very early revision. (hopes so:D )
We should now soon if AMD keep to its promise of Q2.
This summer will be great.

AMD Quad flash ad
next gen after barcelona is 2008 :D mybe shanghai and montreal :up:
Nice thread (except for the intel fanboys posting here)....very usefull information here and thanks for sharing your news.
Without any chips in the computer and with similiar system its though to make any calls what testing means.
AMD are positive to its new k10 line which will offer a lot more than its previous gen.
Its also a quadcore designed to be one not 2 dualcore lumped togheter the used car seller way.
I just dont get why we need more cpu power, for me todays computer runs so well with the current tech.
I get that videoencoding, movierendering and other fields might benefit as serverside but for the common consumer it seems its enough as it is.
As I use the computer, games, some video its purely enough power without bottlenecks as it is today for me.
Even the new gen and tech the fps in games dont go up so much.
I am however looking forward AMD´s new design and if they lower powerconsumation with the same speed and more power for the user, that is very enviromental and something to consider.
I would like to see how much power todays computers draw with todays cpu and what would be if the powerconsumption if it was halved.
The idle power has to come down since it makes more sense if the workload would decide how much power the system would draw.
quadcore with each core has there own way of idle and lower power seems like a nice way of having chips doing work when needed and not all the time drawing full effect.

nice ;)
It's all good and all, but why don't they pick something Intel wont hawe and bench that as an advantage!?
Benching and claiming the same TDP is a hit below the belt attempt as intel will have the same ability (Harpertown), and will show it on Computex!
Why must they prove something only to be disproved weeks later?
The score explanation I don't have the attention span to grasp, so I hope someone will sumarise it.
I will add that my C2D@2.13 scores 920/467pps
while my friends X2 4200 scores 728/367pps I don't see that should be called optimised "more for c2d"
Some info on Barcelona's successor - Shanghai : (Sorry if repost).

Ahh, thanks for that. Edited out and replaced.Quote:
Budapest aint successor. But the desktop/1S Opteron version of Barcelona

Shanghai = 45-nm Barcelona ?
yes, with some architectural improvements, more L3, more and faster HTT links and maybe more.Quote:

The new "Stars" models receive new branding
On June 5th, AMD will launch its Athlon X2 BE-2350 and 2300 processors. The new Athlon X2 BE-series marks the debut of AMD’s new naming scheme. In addition to the Athlon X2 BE-series, AMD is to revamping its complete product lineup using the alphanumeric scheme.
The new naming scheme designates the first letter as the processor class. AMD currently has three processor classes for the new scheme – G, B and L. All G-class processors are designated as premium processors under the Phenom X4 and X2 names. The B-class processors slot below the G-class processors as an intermediate model. At the bottom of the AMD ladder is the L-class processors. L-class processors carry the AMD Athlon or Sempron names.
The second letter in the model designates thermal design power class. AMD P-class processors have TDPs greater than 65-watts; S-class processors have TDPs of approximately 65-watt while E-class processors have less than 65-watt TDPs.
Under the new naming scheme, upcoming Stars-family dual and quad-core processors will carry the AMD Phenom X2 GS-6xxx and Phenom X4 GP-7xxx names. Value-priced AMD Athlon and Sempron processors will carry the Athlon X2 LS-2xxx and Sempron LE-1xxx names.
AMD Phenom FX processors will not follow the new class designations; however, AMD is undecided on the model numbers.
:clap:
@madcho
Don't get too excited about AMD announcements. Athlon 64 BE are a dualcore K8's with 45W TDP, clocked at 1.9GHz and 2.1GHz(2300 and 2350 respectively).
i'm exited about Agena, i don't care about K8 :D
So any news on K10 benchmarks on computex? It's going to happen?
I'm really curious, i'm inclining to AMD pulling another R600 with K10 unfortunelly, at least in desktop.
@madcho
What is so exciting about it?:confused:
No info, no numbers, no benchmarks, no release date...:down:
According to Computex website, it doesn't start until tomorrow. It is still June 4th(8 PM) in TaiwanQuote:

We still don't know when we will be able to buy it and what performance/$ it will offer. :shrug:
TDP in the name is very interesting for evrybody. ;)Quote:
