Countdown for E4 Venice..the return of the OC king

lol think I'm going to have to stop reading the forums for a bit, I simply can't resist the new overclockable chips, Opterons now this! Hehe <3 AMD.

Yeah, 32M would definitely be better suited for that kind of test.

So, will they beat the opterons at value for money?

if can oc til 3ghz/on par wif opty sure value :P

I wonder if I can open a direct deposit account with AMD and automatically send them portions of my paycheck every week..

That's the point, it won't be dispersed equally in the whole die, it will be concentrated in the used core, and the other area will be "warm" (much cooler). The heat physically goes "up", to the cooler, not sideways. (I remember reading an article about heat disippation, can't find it).

exactly what i was trying to imply, thanks ;)

also, there's one sticky point: do the disabled transistors still get voltage?

if they do, the overall heat output will still be higher

how long till they hit retail ?

A few places are taking pre-order. If I'm not mistaken I saw the ETA as Dec 12th.

Nice Find....:up:

dun get it 1st....im juz bought a CG 3200+ ..it's sux...max out only 2.6ghz @ 1.5v...but the stepping is CBDHE...so i guess it's a manchester core wif sec core disabled...

so i think the true very-overclockable REV E4 is those wif steppnig CABNE or other CABxx stepping

They are available in Hong Kong, someone bought CG core. :D

128K L1 + 512 L2 = 640k ;)

That's a darn good question.

1mb cahce good OC'er vs Unknown with 640. ATM I'd say Opterpwn but that may change.

you mean 1024 +128 = 1152 vs 640

look at the newer CG revision

it's manchester core ! hopefully not program error .. :P

hmm I am wondering how well these will overclock over my current 2.8 3000+ winnie. I wanted to get an opty, but maybe these will be more worth the wait?

Oh nice.I hope OC to 3GHz on air. :banana: :banana: :banana:

np..the E4 version seems not overclockable than any current venice revision...it's juz a cutdown ( disabled sec core ) of manchester....dissapointed

About 2 weeks ago I changed my Venice 3200 for a "Venice" 3500.
I really wondered why CPU-Z and some other programs didn't recognize it completely.
Until I found another program, GCPUID, which showed "Manchester" :confused:

And even the idle temperature is 7-8 degrees Celsius higher with this 3500 (38°C), than my previous 3200 (30°C)... what I think, should confirm ozzimark thougts about "the disabled transistors still get voltage".
