FX80 and FX82 4 and 4.4GHZ quads from AMD?

i bet amd would test it on 45nm when it is mature instead of risking implementing in the first 32nm revision

just google it, ibm dosn't plan to release HKMG on anything above 32nm. They might be trying it on 45nm but nothing for production.

AMD coming out with a stock chip that takes the WR frequency of any AMD chip ever made is the most laughable thing i have ever heard of, thats like Intel releasing Nehalm at 8GHZ.

And suddenly all hopes were destroyed... :p:

This would be totally awesome! More HW to play with, more competition etc. How could this be a bad thing? I love intel, but I'm really pulling for AMD as well and would buy their stuff in a heartbeat.

Too much enthusiasm = likely backfire = not good.

( = flamebait for both sides = DOOM = Movieman's long-awaited Ragnarok banhammer for all sides involved)

typo?
3 and maybe 3.4Ghz?
I just cannot see 4Ghz being believible on the current K10 65nm process, and it would be a really strong push with poor yields on the 45nm process.

Oh boy, well have fun. :) I don't stick around long for speculation squabbles because I actually do test hardware rather than only talk about it all day.

In my view enthusiasm is just as valid as negativity on something we can't confirm.

that's what I was just thinking, and maybe that 4ghz was an oc'd fx

Definitely a typo.
AMD will be releasing 40 and 44GHz phenoms using the FX brandname. :D:shrug:

lol Tony I can't believe you are even entertaining this rumour?!

I will be happy for AMD if they even manage to bring out a 2.6GHz Deneb on release :p:

VID? ACP?

2.4 V and 280 W? Thats the only possible way they could reach stock 4+ GHz Quads. 3-3.4 GHz would sound reasonable, with 3.4GHz model beating 4GHz Yorkfield in some tasks.

Last time I checked my calendar, it wasn't April 1st. :D

Some geek had a wet dream and wrote about it.

I'm not saying it's perfectly valid, but it IS possible. At every shrink of the die/core revision, they find a way to improve overclocking. B3/G0, anyone? The 90nm to 65nm shrink made easy 3 GHz 64s work, where only a few of us hit them on 90nm (I remember that so well...) and that was enabling 500+ MHz leaps. There have been simple stepping revisions that have enables 1 GHz clock ceiling raises ON AVERAGE, no cherry picked chips.

There are chips that have been able to handle 120% OCs. The precedent is there. We just have to decide if the evidence is there for this one to be another exponential increase.

I'm an AMD diehard fan, but this just sounds way out there. 3.4GHz maybe though I could see. I guess we'll find out, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's not true, but XtremeSystem is too extreme is accept it. :P

If the CPU-Z shot was true:

1) it says 6MB L3 cache?
2) it is 4GHz (no evidence of anything 4,4GHz)
3) the volts are probably not read right, but who cares

@ kayin
of course its possible (though, the more complicated the chips get, the more unlikely; most calculators for instance can easily be overclocked 200% without issues)

given that their werent any large changes in architecture

@ above

45 nm k10 has got 6mb l3..
volts are never correct, thats stock 45 nm voltage

Really? I could overclock my ti-89? :D

sure, theyre much faster then (especially graphical calculators like yours)

but i would upgrade the storage first, thats my main issue

edit:

http://www.overclock.net/faqs/41338-...-graphing.html

ti-89 overclock form 10 mhz to 20 mhz

I love how there are ocers that are so die hard they even oc their calculators, soon we'll be seeing thermalright coolers for them too:D

And pigs will fly. I will believe this when I can go to the store and buy a chip, plop it into the socket, and it boots at 4GHz. Even then I'll look for some sort of trickery :shakes:

i believe this as much as i believe the rumor that said K10 will score over 30 000 in 3dmark06. and the thing that makes the whole idea crazy is a 4GHZ model beating out a 5GHZ Kent. lets be honest here. it is going to be a LONG time before AMD gets anything close to the performance of a 5GHZ Kent. the even screwed up the way the frequencies go up with model number it would be 4GHZ for the FX-80 and 4.2GHZ for the FX-82.

There could be some half truths mixed in. The screenshot is obviously a deneb part, but the FX chips they are talking about could be dual core kumas, or the 4.4ghz chip atleast. Makes a little more sense as to why they would release two FX chips at the same time. I believe kumas are being branded as Phenom X2's, so why not have a high clocked FX version if it's capable of the frequency.

We should wait until the site leaks at least a little more info.

Fx70 and fx72 were released at the same time.





Interesting news tho. Guess we will know q1 2009?

along with the fx-74, but those 3 weren't exactly the kind of FX chips, they were more like black edition dual socket opteron chips.

What if one or both are the L3-less version of Deneb, if that ever existed to begin with? Those clocks could be much more plausible with the cache cut out.
