AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

never looked at there scores........... dont care.

[SEA]

Why? Because you don't like the scores? :S

You don't understand. Because he has chips (IF he has, of course), he still feeds with results slowly. For example he posts screenshots with all fields hidden and then releases new ones opening one field by one every next week.
I don't care much if they good or not, but I'm sure real results will be significantly different, better or worse.
So, who'd need such a bs...

If youre asking about bulldozer one, then according to JF ,No.

If I had a nickel.....

here is my honest opinion the reason why everyone is think bulldozer is fail is because amd said they where out to target Nahelam and nothing more.

it's not like they didn't see sandybridge coming it's was plastered all over the internet how much faster it was going to be then Nahelam. even before they had a bulldozer that module concept.

Exactly why I feel Bulldozer will essentially match Nelahem CPC. If we can get 5 Ghz over 8 cores at that single thread speed at a reasonable price, people will love Bulldozer. To be honest, Core i7 was so much faster than Phenom II there was no point in buying Phenom II, especially after X6's were costing the same as a 920/860. We are basically running Core 2 equiv machines with these CPUs (+2 cores) now...in the beginning, PII couldnt even match Core 2. Luckily CPUNB overclocking helps that a bit.

The ~15% CPC difference between Nelahem and Sandy Bridge though, thats quite substantial. I'd see a bulldozer chip at 5 Ghz equaling sandy bridge at about 4.2-4.4 at best

If you enter "Intel Corporation" and 56 translations the result is:
"Intellegence"

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!!!

Way OT, I know, just couldn't resist...

Dave, That is why Intel is called "Intel". It wasn't by accident, they just assumed they'd be inteligent

I was just watching this clip about Deus Ex: Human Revolution:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teldc...ailpage#t=322s

and Peter Ross mentions that they are excited because they "have the opportunity to include the game free with purchase of some select AMD hardware coming very soon" he also mentions that he can't talk about those just yet. Now I was wondering, is there any chance that they might include the game with the FX processors? He is after all talking about something "coming very soon" and I'm not aware of any Radeon-cards being released any soon. Also, the Radeon-cards are already shipping with DiRT 3 copies aren't they?

Now this is probably a long shot but I found it rather interesting, anyone have any idea where we might see this game being included?

[charged3800z24]

When is that game launching? There will be new radeaons end of this year they say.
I also noticed Dirt 3 was also with the new APU's

Got a pic on the box and no code

AMD cards are coming very soon, also, the guy he is speaking too replies with "does that mean I can get a card too then". Kinda implies they are discussing vliw4g2 and GCN hardware.
AMD are running hard samples of both from what will become retail steppings.

Price was the reason i bought my first AMD system and it did the job i needed it to do.
If the Bulldozer is a little slower than the Sandy-Vag but cheaper ill stick with AMD.

Hahah good one. Same here, I've ended up staying with AMD due to platform costs.

I end up stay with AMD after I didn't manage to get AMD K6-2...

ps from the comments: 1802617757855.0835 furlongs / speed of light = 14.000002 days

[Manicdan]

and where did charlie get that number from

[TheBreezyBB]

After all this waiting BD better perform a lot more than people ever expected. the 60-90 days have spanned to almost 120 days, and who knows how long it will take to see it in stock around here!

[Tomasis]

perform a lot better than expected? imagine huge disappointment if it doesnt perform enough because it is too late? not logical.. :p I think one gets more perf per cpu (more cores).. we'll see!

what I want to see is huge OC capability. maybe not from first stepping, maybe second or third then I want get 5ghz stable

wait.. wait.. but im happy with 955 for general use though and OCing new stuffs is fun hobby

[TheBreezyBB]

Don't get me Wrong I already have a CHVF And I'm waiting for BD to be launched Luckily I will be going on my early leave from work this month for 36 days and when i get back i won't have enough money to spend on a CPU until early November I think I also hope it OC a lot better than my 1090t and runs cooler on AIR or in My case the H80.

Assuming he has a retail stepping, can anyone possibly explain why the FPS are so low on the 8150? They're barely beating the X6 1100T. Seems like something is really wrong with this bench.

That's the famous banned on XS person we shouldn't even link to his blog here. [OBR if you're confused]
There are more pics but don't bother looking, because they might be fake.
