About time, I'd say.
Quadcore, that's K8L, yes?
I guess we may see some "unofficial" numbers soon then :D
Crosses fingers...
the chip looks like a mobile celeron600:D
and WHY cant we see whats standing on it??
sure this isn't fake????
Nice. I hope that we'll see some ES benchmarks soon!
Barcelona:toast:
We want more :D
Yep .. cant wait for it :D
This is a stupid question, but that is the processor without the IHS?
yesQuote:

PS. The die looks kinda scratched, I guess to many people were fideling with the sample :D
________
Blowjob gagging
Nice they finally showed the chip.
BTW compare this guy with the Intel guy that showed us Penryn. AMD is far more casual, maybe it will clock better :) Intel guy didn't look like overclocker and this guy does.
And why is he wearing Windows Vista key chain?!?
What's your proof that it's NOT fake?Quote:

he didnt say that it was real, rather just said theres no reason to call it fake... showing your own colors here aint ya?
Nice little mirror....wonder if it works or if it's a discarded junker.
Hopefully we'll see some benches in the next two months.
This pic might explain it.Quote:

yeah, that's actually kind surprising to me. definitely the most reflective amd chip i've ever seen. i wonder if they're finally gonna make a decent core <-> ihs contact now :DQuote:

Is it just me or is that one large 65 nm chip...
Νο i had to :DQuote:

And to clarify I'm a fanboy of whoever has better CPU's (in terms of bang per buck ratio).
thats one huge die. looks like a 8800GTX die.
wow, I'm a little turned on.
Ryan
that'll crunch some WUs :D
Do you think faster with SSE or straight FPU? Considering how much AMD has enhanced the FPU in the new core(s).Quote:

SSE is vastly improved too! Doubled throughput compared to K8 core.Quote:

It could be an "Engineering version." If it is, them engineers have some big nails on their fingers :stick:Quote:

No one is really sure about 90nm Windsor, and 65nm Brisbane die size.
Acording to Anand Windsor is 183mm˛.
According to Techreport Windsor is 220mm˛
They agree about Brisbane's 126 mm˛.
The simple math says that Barcelona is 126x2+??mm˛ So, I guess 300 mm˛ is the minimum if you consider that H rev. core+L2 is bigger (probably >130mm˛) then G rev., and L3 is quite "burden" on size!
Anyhow, 45nm is THE MUST for AMD, and it's ~18 months away.
the old AthlonXP's had shiny dies like that
yippie does it work lol hehe :)
They dont have to rush if you ask me, it only will look my e6400 old.
Rush isn't a good thing, look at nVidia.
I really hope K8L will be damn good, how more Good action, how better.
:woot: booking ticket for Barcelona :D
Nedjo,
My bad, you'r correct about G80 - it is 484mm˛. Bad google search.
I got the ~300mm˛ value for Barcelona by comparing the available pictures of the bare die compared to the package dimensions.
It's definately 290-300mm˛.
The result should be valid as I just calculated the G80 die using 2 different low res pics of IHSless G80; the final value was "only" 1% off reality.
Remember that there are two Cores called Windsors that are physically different, the BH-F2, that is a Dual Core with 512 KB Cache L2 per Core and the JH-F2, that is Dual Core with 1 MB Cache L2 per Core. Both could be correct.Quote:

I wonder what kinda heat this thing puts out on air. Not nearly as much as Intel's Q6xxx line I'm sure due to its monolithic nature.

Interesting. That means that tomorrow's AMD TDP of 125W is going to be more hot than today's 125W.Quote:
AMD measures TDP as maximum power draw for a CPU, Intel as maximum real-world draw. AMD is going to move to the Intel measuring scheme
Thank you largon and everyone who trusted me:)
These pictures was taken at Windows Vista event in Akiba lastnight.
Anyone who preordered Vista at a certain PC shop could take part in the event.
Surprisingly for me, any NDA was not required.
The black cap guy is a representative of Nihon AMD, Mr. Doi.
He didn't mention in details, but two notch of CPUon each side implies
that it's a sample chip for Socket F(or its successor)...Barcelona, apparently.
He said that AMD makes efforts for launching within 2007-1H.
To my question, "Possiblity in April-end?", He said "April?...too early:D".
Anyway I hope K8L will be shining on AMD and us within 2007-2Q;)

I'd bet 10 bucks the chip is simply a deactivated example of the K8L. Built and then disabled by AMD for use at events like that one as a physical representation only. This way the chip could go to events like this one and there would be no risk of someone getting a hold of it and spilling the beans on how it performs...:rolleyes:
What board would it work in?Quote:

Unfortunately there was no running demo last night.
AMD's rep said that working sample does exists, but yet not available for public demo...
sweet. :)
With a core that big - they can just keep the IHS - i want one naked :D
:rofl:Quote:

imo it will run on any am2 mobo (just as "AMD hammer family unknown"), maybe with single core available to OSQuote:

if we take soc.939 mobo with bios written when X2 did't exist and try to run X2 on it - system will start, at least with single core available
K8L case is the similar case
i think we will be able to run tests on 1/4 of K8L
w0mbat, spamming even here?
Yes, im spamming where i like it :D
Gallantin anyone? :D
intel shows a working cpus and amd shows a cpu and says that they have them working , while again we see nothing working :rolleyes:
I am not trying to be a fan boy but its like with the R600 , when will we something real :stick:
gallatin shows 1core 2 threads, w0mbat, why are you spamming the thread with this pic:slobber: .Quote:

It´s a K8L Antares, also known as Kuma.Quote:

Well, that is quite a difference as todays 125W TDP (from AMD) will be 100W in AMD's tommorows TDP rating. (my figures are not based on anything, just made up). Oh and as a sidenote, AMD's TDP rating of "tommorow" will then be pretty much simular to Intel's rating, which it is not as of today.
