I really hope you guys can do the same thing with retail chips. It will make all of our wallets much much happier :up:
lol, ah, er that could be any chip. kind of a crappy pic no showing the cpu, but oh well, exciting none the less i spose!
it looks to me as though they are just messing with Francois :DQuote:

I was there. I saw it with my own eyes -> http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...d.php?t=731996
I'm waiting to hear back from AMD as to what else I can disclose.
In the mean time, I thoroughly believe that the OC elite will take these processors further.
:cheer: Josh :cheer:
Cpu-z refers to "Rated FSB" when the processor is Intel, correct?
If i'm not wrong (and there is no kind of trick, of course), since "HT Link" is shown, it is an AMD processor ?
Just a guess...correct me if i misunderstood..
Beautiful pic imo. :)
Italians would say "perspicace"....:yepp:Quote:

If it's true - Who cares?! :DQuote:

In japanese, please ? :p:Quote:

actually that would make a lot of sense, plus the nb speed is down to 1000.Quote:

However, my comment in regards to the extreme clocking regulars doing better is based on the fact that the demonstration was done simply using the multiplier for frequency increases. This meant that the bus frequency was being left to 200MHz and simply multipliers applied at intervals of 0.5x were used for frequency increases.
From my play on the test beds provided (GIGABYTE motherboard and either OCZ Reaper or Corsair Dominator memory with Deneb ES + stock heatsink and rounded out by a HD4870X2) I found it much easier to gain additional CPU frequency by lowering the HTT multi by one and then increasing the HT bus frequency as well as the CPU multiplier.
So in terms of this overclocking information being information that was shown to me or told to me by AMD, it's actually information that was obtained through observation and use - also out of all the media there I was the only one with sub-zero experience/knowledge and therefore a lot of information was obtained just quietly chatting with the guys responsible for the demo both before, during and afterwards. I've got further info like voltages used for what frequencies but that's currently NDA covered - well, the frequencies are but they got up to using 1.95v dropping to 1.936v and didn't go above 2v due to blowing caps on the motherboard (already sent some emails regarding this so hopefully a revision on it's way).
An interesting side note: The maximum multiplier available is currently 48x so there's plenty of multiplier headroom :rofl:
Holy moly! I must resist... not !
Have been waiting these, gonna throw E8500 from window when these arrive.
