AMD 12-Core MagnyCours System Overclocked 3.2Ghz !!!!

I really like the fact that this CPU can do 3Ghz at such low voltages. It is said that AMD continually improves their process and it shows here. We can probably expect good things from C3 Phenoms and HKMG in 2010.

If this CPU can overclock at 4Ghz, I wonder how many voltages it requires. But yes, overclocked at 3Ghz with that low voltage is quite impressive.

bigjezus...4p system, with these...48 cores...:shocked:

a BOINCmonster

Thinking about how jcool has a true 4x4 system right now (based on 8347HE that was released on May 12, 2008), this would make it an almost viable option in about 2 years time...

In 2 years time, or by September 2011, you'll have 22nm shrink of Sandybridge by the name of IvyBridge from Intel with 8-cores 16-threads on desktops, and likely 22nm 12 and 16-core (24 and 32-thread) chips on the server side.

From AMD, you'll have Octo-core Bulldozer chips on the desktop and 32nm 16-core Bulldozer cpus on the server side with CMT (Clustered Multi-threading) and an unknown amount of threads.

I.E. Whatever will be out 2 years from now will make Magny-Cours look like utter trash.

and 90% of the programs will just begin to work with quads

the debate of many slow cores v a few fast cores begins!:argue:

Desktop programs, perhaps. Workstation and Server programs, definitely not. They can scale with the no. of faster cores with newer architectures.

well you know I always think of it like this

two lines for one booth?
line for every booth?

lol silly I know but there always that core with set amount of data to work with. some are more efficient then others.

two lines for booth with normal person?
one line for booth with mentally disabled persons with a dog (HT)?

offensive, I know but it's not supposed to be meant that way. :(

I'd rather have a dual core at 5 Ghz than a quad at 3.4 Ghz. Alot of desktop apps are still single threaded and for every core you add it decreases scaling efficiency.

umm increasing frequency increases power consumption exponentially. scaling with more cores will always be more efficient. how do you think your gpu works? AMD and intel are pushing multicore hard and apps that really need the power take advantage of all available resources.

dont hate on HT. its useful and i like it.
