AMD Phenom II TWKR Black Edition spotted

[FlanK3r]

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.

i mean, no production line ...i heard about 2000 chips, no more to time....

The system that guy was gonna try it on is a watercooled unit isn't it? so if its over 5gees on water and goes public, I'm on one like a fly on poop.

Not the most elegant simile, but nonetheless effective

I hope the 3.4BE comes soon

The Phenom II 965BE will soon available in Q3 this year. Just wait

4.0GHz is a threshold frequency stable of AMD phenom II. I don't think 3,4GHz 965 BE can help Phenom II stable higher 4GHz on air or water cool.

Just hope the new secret cpu of AMD can overclock higher 7,5GHz with Helium

[FlanK3r]

but all people are not overclockers and 965 is possible...I mean, 965 will be new revision C3.

[Manicdan]

it better be possible, deneb is supposedly the top chip for desktops for another 18 months according to some slides i remember seeing a few months back

I hope this is true

Though I wouldn't mind some 2010 32nm Phenom action

i wouldnt mind it either

I really want one

Even if just for the case

[Lightman]

These appeared yesterday on AMD's Flickr site:

Do you know if there will be a launch of this product (NDA lift off) or just people will post results randomly as and when?

If there is a launch date then when? (soon - up to a week, not to soon - more than a week)

Can you disclose that much? Please

I dont think its a product. More a specialized PR stunt that a few selected people gets their hands on.

Still it will be out of the AMD labs, so it is sort of a product.
Call it whatever you want, Preview Chips, Super Chips, PR Chips or simply TWKR Chips.
I'm always interested in new, even if I can't get one now (just like BG Veyron).

[marten_larsson]

NDA lift should be tomorrow as far as I know (July 1st). It was in that blogger's post a week or so ago.

I really think they should sell these chips, otherwise I think it's a pretty bad stunt. Would be better to show it as ES and make some noize at a PR event with LHe/LN2. I mean, why the fancy box and geeky name if it's not going to be released to market (even though in extremely small quantities and high price). Am very interested in seeing how they perform though.

[randomizer]

Some sites will be giving these away.

Some overclocking results..
When i've read the first lines and i saw the cpuz pictures i remained shocked This is more a bad joke in my opinion from Amd a 2ghz stock frecuency Deneb at 1.44v? I don't uderstand anything... What it's the point of this "Tweaker" It reach 100-200Mhz more on air than 955 and 5.9 ghz on LN2 may be with real overclockers 6.5-7ghz??? .. So why it's "exclusive" , "not for sale' it's just a "haf step forward than 955" and i even bet that there 955 as good at this tweaker.. I'm profundly deceptioned about this, this "Tweaker operation" it's more a market strategy to gain share in overclockers team but hey i prefer an E8600@6.5ghz with 3.33ghz stock low vid than this in my opinion patetic 2GHZ 1.44v which was presented like holly grall and induced the opinion of meny people that started to think that it can do 5ghz 24/7 on air and is highly binned and so on...

We were able to reach 4.0GHz on the AMD Phenom II X4 TWKR 42 processor with the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 air cooled heat sink. This is an improvement of 100MHz on air, but we had to bump the voltage up to 1.46V rather than the 1.45V used to max out the Phenom II 955 processor. Basically, the processor was able to run another 0.1V more CPU Core Voltage which was good enough to reach an extra 100MHz. During our interview with AMD they said a 100MHz overclock was expected on air and that is exactly what we saw.

next are at neoseeker, tomshw, overclocksclub, hothardware, techwarelabs etc

Well, now you're just being silly. Sure, I was expecting a bit more than 100-200MHz bump in clocks but how could you be disappointed by the stock clock? It's not for sale nor is it intended to be run @ stock. If they wanted to it's pretty easy to imagine these chips would do 3GHz at that voltage (they did, 4,0GHz to be exact).
