i think coming, but in limited series, we must waiting few days ....

[informal]

so theres a bios that can detect this thing, but its not coming out?

I think it's coming out alright.

If you guys were planning on seeing this at newegg, I wouldn't hold your breath. These chips are the cream of the crop and VERY limited in supply. Your best bet in getting one is to show AMD how good of a tweaker you are.

So this means, i have to spend gazillion on new hw, break few WR's and then i might get permission to buy one? Or i will have to tweak my setup, squeez every mhz out of it, and then tweak os to get some nice numbers ?

Or is this just a PR trick and they ship twkr Cpu's to enthustiast OC legends?

Don't know yet.

I think these are a PR move by AMD to drum up some positive press. Sounds like there are very few of these chips, so even spending a gaizillion $$ on new hardware won't purchase one.

[i found nemo]

just give me half of this cpu and that will fulfill my needs. oh, and half of a 4890. ok thanx :p

[Chrono Detector]

Oh come on, haven't we waited long enough for the results of this CPU already? Out with it already.

[Barr3l Rid3r]

nothing... it sux

How about Intel release a 6-core Pentium 4 on 32nm process with 12 threads, called "TITWKR" (This Is The W-a-n-K-e-R) edition? And it can clock to 10GHz at sub-zero temps while consuming over 300W?

Still it's performance will be sucky.

Still it's performance will be sucky.

And many people will buy it.

[ubuntu83]

And many people will buy it.

because of intel written allover it.

[N19h7m4r3]

Oh ma gawds like! 10Jigawatts 6core Intel CPU!!!

I needs it for playing the SIMS!

[TheGreenFoX]

I was told that the CPU wasn't for sale, but they could have changed their minds later....

Bring it on!

Sounds about right.

From one of our readers:



Reverse effect in Photoshop or fake.. who knows

We will see more details 30th of June

[FlanK3r]

5.3 should be doable, I hear some people claiming 7-8 GHz, thats what I find a little hard to believe

What do u mean claiming? Its 2009, June, do u not seen AMD CPUs about 6500-6900MHz with LN2/LHe? U must only more to read.
This post, if it real, is with watercooling, not LN2 and up 5GHz is great! Santos wrote about watercooling block.

[TheGreenFoX]

5.3 is possible, but why would they make that std. frekvens so high that its impossible to use with non-xtreme cooling?
3.4 or 3.5 is closer i guess

[ExodusC]

Eh... I honestly find this pretty cool, assuming it does actually come out.

Maybe I just like the idea of companies hand picking better silicon for their consumers that want to pay a little (or in this case, probably a lot) more.

I know it's obviously done with processors, which is how higher tiers are created, but to specially cater to enthusiasts is just neat, in my opinion.

This reminds me of those video cards... What was it, the 2900XTs or something? The special editions, came with a lifetime warranty, a briefcase box to keep them in... Ah, I can't remember for the life of me. It was a very limited edition of ATI cards.

[ExodusC]

It's basically the new Extreme Edition, AMD didn't have a extreme, premium chip for a long time. Back in the days of K8 glory they were able to take EE chips directly from the production lines, but now they have to cherry pick. It will hopefully win some battles in the high end for amd. If they launch it at 4 Ghz stock it will be a hit no doubt. And if it capable of running at lets say 7Ghz 24/7 it would be great.

Well, 7GHz 24/7 seems a little extreme to me, but I've never had any personal experience with a high end Phenom II chip.

I'll just say, I'd expect these to clock really well (obviously)!

[Foamy]

whos says that this thing wil clock higher?
perhaps more cores , perhaps more and faster cache.. perhaps smaller procedee..

[FlanK3r]

Do u seen some CPU at 6GHz 24/7 ? LN2 and much, much barrels

Extreme OC isnt for 24/7, but for records and stability behind benchmark.
24/7 is for AIR/ Water etc and 4.2-4.3GHz with watter 24/7 is real with retails Phenom II 955 BE. I mean, its possible about 5GHz 24/7 with watter for TWKR edition.
