AMD Athlon64 4200+ TEST First Look

[conrad.maranan]

He's faking it because he hasn't re-visited this thread??? Come on now. Some people do have lives outside of overclocking and community forum membership. Give him the benefit of a doubt and say he's busy tending to more important matters.

[shadowing]

Did anyone read his title? It says "X.I.P" He could've gotten it from the higher authorities.

[omga14]

is it dual core? if not i'm not impressed yet. now excuse me, i have to get something to clean up my desk.

Single core...........

[don_vercetti]

he says he's under NDA, on those Digital-Info websites. Shame.

I guess he's probably real, but if i got that chip, i'd have overclocked the hell out of it, and posted some results.

Hello sxs112,

It does not make any marketing sense whatsoever for a 4200+ San Diego to have been produced in the first batch of Venice & San Diego CPUs that are now in the first weeks of production.

4200+ cannot coexist with FX-55, it can only do so with FX-57,
just like 2.4 GHz 4000+ 939 CH and 2.6 GHz Fx-55 939 CH are coexisting.

4200+ San Diego is (well, was earlier this year) a Q4 2005 product with limited availability toward the end of Q3 2005.

That's Fall 2005. Even if it's pushed up, we're just out of February 2005, way too early for any 4200+ San Diego.

Even if you have an Engineering sample, it may may not be as indicative as when multiple sources start reporting OC results from first real batches of them...


First Venice/San Diego CPUs should be here either later this month or early April 2005 which is not bad considering that earlier this year we expected them toward the end of Q2 2005 in limited quantities.

look like the athlon 64 = fx-55 :|

same clocks

[Hallowed]

sxs112 was the first here with pics of NF4 boards, I'm more than certain hes from Taiwan, and its pretty widely known that in Taiwan, NDA's are about as powerful as Hondas.

Instead of calling him a faker, Ace, do a bit of research on the person you're bashing.

@sxs:

Thanks for the inside scoop man. I, for one, am glad you posted it here first.

If possible, could you run a multimedia suite to show us if sse3 is making any headway?

[OC Detective]

One of the first with info on Oakvilles too. (July if I remember correctly)

sxs112, do you know how many physical cores does your Athlon64 have? By the way, you may use Central Brain Identifier tool to get much more specific information on your AMD processor. I’ve just added for you an option to retrieve a maximum case temperature directly from the processor. Probably, you have already known that this feature was implemented in all D0 and higher AMD64 processors and it represents the highest die temperature. Here’s the link http://cbid.amdclub.ru/files/cbid74t.zip

what does X.I.P. mean?
I just looked at a bunch of sxs112 previous post's. This person is definitely very well connected in Taiwan.

[del_fuego]

I guess its like V.I.P but a bit more xtreme.

[computersmsa]

One of the first with info on Oakvilles too. (July if I remember correctly)

Oakville = A64 Mobile LV S754 90nm 512Ko
I can have it since December 2004.

[Super Nade]

Maybe a gift from outerspace..............

Lol. The fellow disappeared! I guess he's conferring with the aliens

[some_young_guy]

Nice numbers. Pretty much exactly the same Super 32M score at 28'33" compared to the Newcastle's 28'26" both at 2.6GHz. Except for the fact that the Newcastle's memory is at 250 1:1 @ 2-2-2 while the 4200+ is at 200 1:1 @ I'm guessing 2-2-2

If you're lucky enough to get one of those chips and were under NDA.. why would you want to risk it. You were givin the priv to even test it out.. dont throw NDA out the window or he prob wouldnt get any goodies in the future.

[IvanAndreevich]

Showing the things he showed is breaking NDA so there goes that theory. Somebody under NDA probably gave him this under the condition he can't attract too much attention and release too much information.

[dX.]

AMD locking the lower multi's would be the stupidest move they could ever make. Nearly the entire enthusiast community would drop them. Not everyone can afford an FX chip.

Not to mention that Cool'n'Quiet would be useless!

It’s interesting to know weather the processor has an Intel’s Hyper-Threading feature? As far as I know all dual core AMD64 CPUs based on revision E4/E0 have set HTT bit. CBId may show it.

[saaya]

I guess its like V.I.P but a bit more xtreme.

bingo

[Hombre]

If San Diego cores are used on other CPU's other than FX's, which CPU's or PR's will be Venice based? I thought that Venice is for the A64 line, and San-Diego is for the FX line.

It doesnt.

A: Its intel.
B: AMD will be using dualcore.

according to this roadmap...not just the 4200+ but also 4400+ in Q2 that is very interesting...and venice starts at 3200+

edit: seems like FX-55 been down to 4400+

[Cpt Twitchy]

Its very nice to have you here posting all the goods so we know what is to come. Thanks for all of your info.
