AMD Dragon Platform exhibition

[macci]

Thank you for the info macci.
Is this tool available for public use? Can it make use of the other three p-state registers?

the public tool that allows adjustment of those parameters (and more) is AMD OverDrive.

the rest of the Pstates are used by CoolNQuiet automatically.

Must explain abit more what i mean't. K10's have five p-state registers but use only two of them. Is it possible to use the other three states or is the number of usable p-states locked? In the past I tried to modify all the pci and msr registers related to p-states i coud find but only p-states 0 and 1 where selectable. I assumed it had to do with CPI tables not beeing updated and those are used by the CnQ drivers. It's like that under linux.
Would be nice to utilize a third p-state for a turbo like configuration.

the settings were applied to all CPU cores (note the "Copy to all CPUs" part that is selected). the tool is modifying the P-state 0&1 parameters (= CPU Multiplier (FID), CPU Voltage (VID) etc).

the old-school guy (= Pete) preferred the classic P-state tool while Team Finland (Sampsa&SF3D) used AMD OverDrive for Overclocking.

Thanks for clarifying that. some people were actually starting to get exited thinking all 4 cores couldn't OC that high. go figure

Some people are working real hard to find anything wrong with either Phenom II or these OCing events.Go figure that

Thanks for clarification macci.
So it's settled,the OC was done across all 4 cores.

Thank you for making that clear for everyone. Hope you will have some time in the near future to really torture some of those PhII and post some results here on XS like in the good old days, that would bring back a little of that spirit that started to fade away when guys like you and OPPAINTER got busy and had to back off.

OPPAINTER true legend.............

Wonder if Macci know of OPPs where abouts, would be great to see him posting here again

Great??? Damn! That would be like

Yeah, it seems that they find so much joy if they can find an opportunity to rain on AMD's parade this time, no matter how lame it is.

I'm really happy to see AMD coming Back, maybe i'll be back too

thx for clearing things up Macci. It's beter to know then to guess
Great to see the potential of the PII.

But NO!!! That's impossible, only one core enabled. Actually it's just an i7 and SB750 is gimmick...

Oh wait

Anyway, on topic again, very nice result! Also good to see that actually all CPU's tested could do that Now... stop hijacking all those PhII's from us and send them back to the shops so I can get one soon

[Ashraf]

Thread cleaned. This is not about AMD vs Intel. Please stay on topic.

And what Movieman said.

Get's out the damned scratchy wool mod Hat
Gentlemen;
Can we keep this friendly please and just enjoy AMD's new powerhouse whether it's 1,2 or 4 cores?
Let us all enjoy their accomplishment and learn about it as friends ok?
Yea, I know, that sounds corny as all hell but it's the truth.
Let's have some fun together and see what this beast has inside it.
Thanks for reading.

Same thing you do before you drown ! No honestly, this is good news!

Or swimming the 100m freestyle. ! Your right, this is good news!

[Lightman]

Very nice videos!

I just hope next event like that will be hosted in Europe. I think we buy more AMD than US, so we deserve an event like that as well.

Besides, Finnish overclokers are much closer

[flopper]

Its interesting how big a jump it been for amd from 65nm to 45nm.
65nm 3ghz+ with some real ahrd ehaded cooling and with 45nm it just runs so much better.
20% improvement in clocks isnt that much to go for but 4 cores run 4ghz+ even on air is really good.

the silicon/metal they use for the chips most be different from 65 to 45nm?

ahm wow, the voltage is rather low isn't it? nice stuff @oktabit!

[AbelJemka]

Multimeter vltage is higher so i suppose better trust multimeter than Cpu-Z
