Quite common on more recent AM2 chips (the higher corners)
my 9950 looks the same.. and it is not raised... ;)
normal corners on 9850 as well. Its probly just from poor croping in photoshop..........(only joking Nedjo) :rofl:Quote:

Introduction to Phenom II X4 and Expected launch date of AMD Phenom II Processors
We received news that the expected launch date of the AMD Phenom II processors would be Jan 8 , 2009. Although it is a launch, retail products won't be available till Feb 4, 2009. Pre-orders should take place in from Jan 8 onwards.
The first two models that will appear would be model 920 and model 940. Both are 45nm.
Model 920 is rated 2.8GHz (14x200) and is a Quad Core processor. It has a HT link of 1.8GHz. It will have 256KB L1, 2M L2 and 6M L3 cache.
Model 940 is also quad core and is rated at 3GHz (15x200). it also has a HT LInk of 1.8GHz, 256KB L1, 2M L2 and 6M L3 cache.

3DMark Vantage score running on AMD 790FX mainboard
The 3GHz processor is able to churn out impressive performance, scoring P8492 in the 3DMark Vantage test. A similar score can be obtained with a overclocked Core 2 Quad Q6600 at 3.6GHz with ATi Radeon HD 4870
I presume the i940 would be using a 4870 too, if all things were as equal as possible then that aint too bad...
It's misleading since the 3.6GHz Q6600 also had a CPU score of 11540. Since the score is dominated by the video card, they could have find similar scores from Q6600s overclocked to 3GHz or lower.Quote:

the 2.7's are what 95W... i guess thats why the tdp will drop am3 then, new nb, ddr3 lower volts etc...Quote:

Hmm. If previous SuperPi scores were on 1.8Ghz, upping this is going to look fun.
I reckon it's because of lower L3 not getting in the way of higher clocks, or something similar.
On that screen NB clock is only 1.8GHz. Surely AMD won't go lower than previous BE chips on a brand new core.
Also worth noting is memory setting for that run. DDR2 800 with CL6-6-6!
Looks like this run is crippled in more than one way to not upset too many people for now.
There is an english version in OKTABIT's forum regarding the Phenom II upcoming review. Check it out, several HARD tests will be uploaded soon...:up:
Dont think crippled on purpose. If they are running 4 x 4GB sticks then that would explain the lax timingsQuote:

As far as I see the CPU score is 1306 for test 1.Quote:

Doesnt really look good for Phenom II.
Seems like the bios does not recognize the CPU in a proper way. I remember 3 GHz Phenom II should have 2.2 Ghz for NB Speeds.Anyway, DDR2 800 and CL6 subtimings sucks :down:Quote:

If you look at the CPUZ memory SPD table, the RAM stick he used has CL6 timings. ;)Quote:

Sounds like another delay here.
