Why can't we overclock ecc ram? It's the same except for the ecc chip on it, ocz can make us a ecc chip with headroom :D right ocz.
I think they mean buffered memory, not ECC.Quote:

My theory: They'll start with 65 nm for (dual core) mobile chips. Why? Well, because of Intel's 65 nm PM. AMD already have dual core chips, but they need to cut down in power consumption to make it competitive for laptops now that Yonah will show up.
Here they're mentioning 333 MHz bus speed, I think it's true. I wouldn't expect to see a new socket coming out running with a divider (ya know what I mean) as standard.
No way. Until the introduction of 65nm (That will be on the least 4 month or more after the introduction of Socket M2), AMD don't got enough capacity to shift everything to Dual Core based products. Neither Toledo or a Manchester are cheap enough to manufacure for AMD to make a full transition to Dual Core based products after the A64 FX-59/60 or whatever it is. Expect a nice Single Core Athlon 64 lineup in Socket M2, because until 65nm, I don't think that AMD will massively manufacture such big Cores, it will limit its capacity even further that it is today. With the exeption that Fab 36 is already doing wonders in 90nm...Quote:

Anyone got more info about that? It should be closely related to the future Base Clock in K8s...
Got a link confirming that the Opterons will have thier own integrated PCIe controller as last I saw this was speculation/rumour...Quote:

Ummm, my guess is that you haven't seen an E6 "San Diego" core yet ;) . Well, I'll put it to you this way - AMD will soon start transitioning all the current A64 s939 E4 San Diego's (eg. 3700+, 4000+, etc) to this type of core and it definately isn't anything like the current Diegos......Quote:

Its a fairly better idea that throw the entire Core in the trash can when you can still sell it for a profit, but then, AMD is recycling Cores and San Diegos didn't exactly getted a new Revision because those are just Toledos. I am speculating, but the argument is pretty well sustained (Athlons 64 3500+ with Clawhammers or San Diego Cores with half of its Cache L2 disabled and others are examples of this, but now with an entire Core disabled or even a Core and part of the Cache L2 of the other Core. Its possible).Quote:
