Part one
x4 955 BE C2
My happy part of life...That was many,many times with Phenom II...I wanted not x4 940 BE, I wanted x4 955 BE. I was waiting few months for it and bought the one. C2 revision, passion with others guys here and the same batch as first *Chews 955. Dreams are somentimes real! And this era was my start to the extreme overclocking and big enthusiasm for CPUs. Thanks to *Chew again, thanks to Simon Solotko, thanks to Phenom II era. Before I was beginner with Athlons X2 and I was finding next experience with 65nm Phenoms. But Phenoms II was the real start to the community.
A8-3850 and 3870K Llano, first APU
I was shocked from iGPU performance. CPU clocks was not great as Phenoms II, but still many things to tweaking. I was happy for my 6 GHz llano with LN2...Girls liked LN2 nitrogen at event
A10-5800K Trinity
Second AMD APU, first 15h APU, better IPC than Bulldozer, again great iGPU. I had no much time for tweaking this APU...Maybe in future, maybe I need 1 month holiday out of work for all this fun benchmarking
FX-8120/8150
We waiting few years for Bulldozer, hope for awesome performance we got decent performance. But afterall, not bad in multithreading. But...we hope for more at beginning. But those CPUs got me first 7 GHz+. I was so happy. Over 7400 MHz, first in my life! And over 5000 MHz at air for valdiation and light benchamrks. Wow.
FX-4300
First Time I tried "lowend" FX model. But good OCable and OK for low costet AMD gaming rigs...Last AMD powerfull architecture Vishera FX. Maybe (I hope not!) the last one powerfull AMD ever...This was Vishera time.
More in next days in my posts. Show me your side of passion too
