Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

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
Faceman
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.

I thought the ht would be 2.2ghz like shanghai?

Why does Windows report 16 gigs of ram?? Could they really be using 16 gigs?

Won't matter anyway, 1.8 GHz is plenty for the NB-CPU coms.

I can agree, but I don't see what advantage it would have to down clock it vs their shanghai counterpart?

Power. Lowering the HT clock will help a bit on staying within the thermal envelop they want to bin these chips into....

I thought single 4GB sticks were only possible with Registered DDR2. :/
EDIT: Stand corrected. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231183
Same here, I was unware of 4 gig sticks ... never really looked for any either.

the 2.7's are what 95W... i guess thats why the tdp will drop am3 then, new nb, ddr3 lower volts etc...
Makes sense, but given that they are essentially shanghai's should be easy to clock it right back up there no?

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...
Dont think crippled on purpose. If they are running 4 x 4GB sticks then that would explain the lax timings

Aye.. there are better scores too.. like this http://service.futuremark.com/result...eResultType=19 Q6600 @ 3GHz but GPU influenced the score.
EDIT: Q9450 @ stock with similar (a bit higher) GPU score http://service.futuremark.com/result...eResultType=19

As far as I see the CPU score is 1306 for test 1.
Doesnt really look good for Phenom II.

Crunching for Comrades and the Common good of the People.
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
Question: 3dmark06 used to score different between 32 and a 64 BIT OS, does 3dMarkVantage do the same ?
If you look at the CPUZ memory SPD table, the RAM stick he used has CL6 timings.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
soon when ? when nda is over ?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...
yup there are already 4gb modules for ddr2, but to bad it seems they used the gskill sticks, they come with CL6. The OCZ come with CL5 and are also 4x4.
Thanks Face,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.
Sounds like another delay here.
