Dual Core AMD Opteron. First screenshot!

[VVJ]

Hi guys! It’s interesting to see the screenshots of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor here. And I decided to make a small, but highly exclusive screenshot of the Dual Core AMD Opteron processor 275. AMD Corp. has permitted me to post it here, but only one screen, because my CBId tool shows too much confidential info, he-he OK, no problem. So, here it is:



It’s a low-power 68W AMD Opteron processor based on the newest E6 core!

1.2V Vdimm??? MY gawd. What the hell is AMD doing. 2X1024MB L2 cache, priceless. 68W TDP. I'm short of words. Thanks VVJ. We want more than screenshot please.

[perkam]

OMG thats crazy. The number of features on that retarded...though are they gonna release single processor versions of that and how much is it going to cost !!!

At any rate, Thank you for making XS the place to show it exclusively, VVJ

Though interestingly enough, how'd u become XIP with only 38 posts omg wow quite an accomplishment there.

However, if posts like that is how u did it, then I can understand a post thats worth a thousand words....NICE

Why is it showing HT? I assume it only shows it because it's a dualcore.... Are there any secrets that you can share?

Prolly why the Elite Bastards results showed a 4800+ X2 Dual Core kicking EE butt in Cinebench.

Makes sense, maybe AMD's way of splitting threads is getting more and more similar to Intel's for dual cores

X86secret explored that and said that the HT bit is actually enabled on dual core amds to make use of software optimisations thaat were made for intel's hyperthreading

[ozzimark]

that's a pretty slick idea. hopefully it won't cause any compatibility issues.. though i don't see why it would.

THe idea is slick, but compatibility would be the last of AMD's worries. It's patented by Intel....so I smell a lawsuit...and a big one. Only that AMD knows that if Intel does pursues that route, it has its own case against Intel's monopolizing influence in the market which could get Intel into a VERY sticky situation.

Wow this is amazing. Slap two of those in a Tyan nF4 Opty board and hold on to your shorts!

that's true, but i don't see how intel could sue amd on the grounds of a bit being enabled. besides, they have some crazy cross licensing agreement, so i think amd might actually be able to put intel's HT ideas into their cpu, just have to call it something different (like x86-64 vs EMT64; same thing, different name)

[Sentential]

Price?

[NiCKE^]

Wow looks amazing! Same as above, Price?

LAW SUITE? It's just an instruction set, no BIG DEAL about it. AMD have the right under cross-licenscing agreement to use Intel processor instructions. Why is AMD not sued for using SSE3 in Venice and SD which have HT instructions.

why does it say the processor core is italy?? Is that really what core it has? Thanks for sharing that with us.

The program is only as reliable as the kid who wrote it so, whos to say.
Paris is semprom iirc, so, its probably wrong.

Found this Click , select the CPU drop down list, you'll see you have to pay an additional $1106 for the "265", $1366 for "270" and $1689 for "275" 2MB L2 cache dual core processor.

so far, Dual Processor prices =

[[XC] moddolicous]

yea, but the performance =

[Thorry]

OMG this is a very sick CPU.... 1.2 vcore.... :o

Wish I had a few of these in my server

AMD allowed you to post this? I find that extremely hard to believe.

Also, the DC Opteron 275 has a 95W TDP, not 68W.

1.2v seems low, based on the X2 running at 1.3v... you sure this isn't a fake?

Another problem: the OPN is bogus, or 1.2v is bogus.

"FAA" encodes current Rev E4 Opteron package, voltage, and case temp.

So that portion of the OPN says the voltage is: 1.35/1.4v, not 1.2.

Busted.

they are definately not bullsh*tting us, so don't think lightly of them terrance215

Cool down man. This is legit. The Vcore might be incorrect, but the screen shot is 100% legit. It's simple. The guy is X.I.P.

[VVJ]

Not long ago I have signed NDA and I very proud of this. Therefore I’m afraid of to lost it, because it cost a lot.

Soon you’ll understand you are mistaken

1.2v seems low, based on the X2 running at 1.3v... you sure this isn't a fake?

No it is not! VCore is 1.200V. Today, I’ll try to post a little more info regarding this CPU.

Another problem: the OPN is bogus, or 1.2v is bogus.

Do you know something about OSP suffix? I’m not sure you do Besides, FAA encodes not core revision, the last two letters encode the revision. The A-voltage defines a variable voltage, not definite as you suppose. For example, it may be 1.200V or 1.250V. The letter F says that CPU uses a new organic package.

Busted.

I think its xtremely important person

Does anybody know if this will be making an appearance in socket939? Id love to see one in a SLI-DR.

[STEvil]

pair of these dropped into a "cheap" dual 940 board would be very attractive....

its socket 940, one more pin.


great info, hope you can show some benchs soon
