we need the RAM across the board to be 400mhz 3-3-3
I say this is a victory for AMD with tighter RAM it should be right up there with eh new c2ds in performance/clock.

LOL. And with a brand spanking new BIOS and new stepping, we will see it outperform Penryn and match Nehalem. :up: :rofl: :ROTF:
Seriously though, I do believe Phenom will get a sizeable boost jumping up to DDR2-1066, probably around 5% on average, perhaps 10% in apps heavy on bandwith.
Please why is it so hard to keep AMD vs Intel threads unbiased, let go of your feelings and try to look it from an objective way. If forums were more objective rather than subjective, there would be a lot less flamebaiting.
Objecticism (or how you call it in english) + logic are my best friends, but that's a whole different story. :D
Here's a hint: don't ask yourself what do you think about it, compare it to the other products instead and comment on basis on that.
well atleast now there is a choice from amd. it may not be as quick as the high ends but it comes with a nice price for those who would rather have it. i hope this helps amd get back some of the mainstream market.
plus this will help me beat my cousins computer which is all i want te he he :D
:up:
Uhm strange so they start shipping B2's even at lower clocks. I thought the higher TDP for the 2.4 GHz version is an being an B1/BA issue.:shrug:
Just to clarify, you used an retail 9600 version at stock clock and not the 2.0 GHz ES sample overclocked to 2.3 GHz?:confused:
It's overclock up to 3 GHz ;)
And B2 core is around since some time:

But why stop at BA or B1. The 2.5 GHz samples featured on AnandTech's second article are of the newest roadmapped spin; revision B2. When Shimpi made the inference that the 2.5 GHz Opterons would be the closest thing to Phenom, he was hardly exaggerating. AMD's current roadmaps peg the the B2 stepping launch for Opteron and Phenom as mid-Q4 2007.

It's that test i'm talking about. Here the NB Speed is at 1800 GHz. Was this just an CPUz issue? Then why does the latest Cinebench10 results still show 1600 GHz NB speed.
Also he talkes about using GP9600 instead of GP9000 (used for the 2.0 GHz ES in previous tests), so i thought maybe they have non ES also.
Yeah, but i read a news a week or so ago that B2 will be used for >=2.4GHz.
Unfortunately I do not find that news. :shrug:
google his your friend but better ask directly to Franck:
