FX-65 to be 2.8Ghz dual core

[freecableguy]

dual core, 2.8Ghz stock speed, 110W TDP, unlocked multipliers

Due out around April 2006...

Will post more information as it becomes available.

socket 939 right?

That is a large # jump from FX-60

This is one of the many reasons you shouldn't rush and buy items too soon
Nice work!

The PR rating increase is always bigger with dual cores. A 200 Mhz increase with X2s is a 400+ PR rating, and the 939 dual core opties go by increments of 5 (165, 170, 175, 180) while the 939 single core opties go by increments of 2 (144, 146, 148, 150 etc).

2.8 Ghz dual core, sounds sexy. When will one of our Xtreme locals have their hands on one is what i want to know.

If the FX-60 clocks well, why wait?

If it's April, might be Socket AM2, and a Rev F part. Although on AM2, I would have expected 2.8333 GHz, in keeping with 1/2-integer multiples of 333. (Allowing 2.5, 2.6666, 2.8333, 3.0 GHz parts, among others) Inq story said the FX-62 would be Rev F for AM2, and 2.666 GHz DC. So maybe the FX-65 is a 939 part @ 2.8 DC, and there'll be an FX-67 @ 2.83 DC on Socket AM2 (new 940) ???


2.8GHz DC 110W. Nice. Sounds like a 90nm SiGe-enhanced part.

As for #-ing, looks like the DC FX line is using the DC Opti style of +5 per speed bump.

[thunderstruck!]

Hope someone will get their hands on one prior to release

[metro.cl]

socket info would be nice, i think it should be new 940, i heard that fx-60 is the last 939 fx cpu

[PoL]

Nice... Wanna know what socket it will be.

[biohead]

socket AM2 will be out in april so I guess it will be an AM2 cpu. Maybe s939 too, who knows.

Fx60 and fx65 is nice, dual core is getting there at high end, seems AMD has a nice batch to get out. My 2550mhz x2 is good, but to run it at 2,8 or even 3.0 is simply awaesome for dual core. Mucho power to process.
Finnaly migh unlock some x1800xt_PE powa also along the way

Ah, the famous Phantom Edition

[althes]

Where is the phantom now

[flopper]

oh Brutus those phantoms forces me to see the day as night.
Even the light goes back in time as fast they are.

Its a plane, no its a bird no..its a super card

So if the stock speed is 2.8 on this beast then these should be able to hit 3ghz with ease. I heard that AMD and IBM were working on a new process for there 65nm chips so who knows maybe these will be better than expected.

[ozzimark]

something tells me the fx-65 will still be 90nm

Actually, that new process feature (3rd generation strain, via SiGe in the PMOS regions) is being incorporated into AMD's *90* nm process, in addition to being used in the 65nm process coming in H206.

Wei (from AMD) claimed up to 50% performance improvement over NO strain @ 90nm.

As DSL (2nd gen strain) gave 24% perf improvement over NO strain @ 90nm, that leaves (1.5 / 1.24 = 1.209...) 21% improvement over DSL for the new SiGe 3rd gen, at the same power.

So, in theory:

2.4GHz DSL DC --> 2.88GHz SiGe DC
2.6GHz DSL DC --> 3.12GHz SiGe DC

all at 90nm.

[ozzimark]

yes, then add 65nm ontop of that. should be fun

[Cpt Twitchy]

socket 939 right?

That is a large # jump from FX-60

I agree its a large jump but kind of makes sense when you look at it this way. Opteron single cores hump 2 at a time kind of like A64 3000+, 3200+ etc and dual core opty's go 165, 170, 175 etc. just a thought even though A64 DC doesn't go taht way.

@FCG When should FX60 hit retail?

Thanks

FX-60 hits retail on 10 January 2006

[IvanAndreevich]

FX-65 will be S939. The M2 socket part will be FX-67 for the faster RAM/HTT.

How sure are you of this? Seems like a possibility, but do you have confirmation?

If the FX-62 will be AM2 as well, and AM2 is launching in April, then there'd be not much window until FX-67, since they'd need that when they launch an FX-65 for 939.

Jan 10 is the official "launch date" of the FX60 - when they hit retail, however, is another story

[DezzaBot]

I figure you're the best person to get any real idea on what the 65 will be s7e9h3n.
FX-65? 939 or am2?

[Piotrsama]

AMD is launching Socket M2 on April (http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...214062233.html).
They are (according to freecableguy) launching FX-65 the same month......

Somebody still has doubts which socket will FX-65 fit on?
