Phenom II 6 GHz+ OVERCLOCK

[Jazzman]

Is that load temp?

The data came from Informal - see quote after my statement. I believe the 32C was achieved during the Crysis loop but it could very well be idle. My 3.2Ghz Phenom I idles at 29C underwater, but it has much higher current leakage than 45nm Phenom II. (my cpu vid is 1.39 compared to the Phenom II 1.5!!!)

Does anyone know if this is the 1st AMD chip made using Immersion Lithography? (too lazy to look it up.. )

I had high hopes for that process when I first read about it.
If that's the case it looks like my hopes were justified...

I'm hoping someone like tony can get these babies prior to release so we can see some true results.

it was stated in one that 45nm pfd ....see quote below for details

here is a PDf of 45nm...the do mention of High-k down the road, and I believe it might be on 45nm AM3..which might be why the FX might be back...any thoughts..

I honestly do not buy it, no way it will load at 32c that would be mega, I dont even think that AMD OR intel will get those kind of results on 32nm, Unless they where testing at Santa's house with the windows open.

Thanks for the Link..

Computers are my hobby, but I work in the printing industry so I have a pretty decent understanding of lithography (albiet not at those scales ).

I had the feeling when I first read about this technique that the higher resolution could only benefit the process....

I'd like to comment as my name has been brought up in this discussion.
First of all i want to say for the hundredth time that I have always been in favor of two strong companies.
The last thing any of us need to see is a monopoly in this field.
Two strong companies not only benefit us but benefit society in general as they force each other to innovate and push the boundaries.

Second, my conversations with Dr.Who? (Francois Piednoel)
Imagine for a minute that for the last 4 years you've worked with nothing but Intel systems with their very limited settings in BIOS and suddenly your looking at a bios with numerous settings and names that mean absolutely nothing to you. Seriously, imagine that for a minute.
Now the system isn't out in retail so there's very little info available for it so what do you do?
I saw a resource here at the forum for that info and I asked.
These weren't long drawn out conversations but a few PM's.
He didn't say to me" Dave, here's the magic settings that will make you famous" but just a short explanation to get me on the right track.
From there it was 3 very long days to understand the workings of each setting in relation to the others.
Try this,bluescreen, back off then try that,bluescreen, then try another area.
Not rocket science but just 60 hours of testing over 3 days.
Why did I spend so much time on this?
I felt an obligation to show what this system could do in the hands of the "average guy"
I knew there would be threads by guys like FUGGER showing huge numbers with xtreme cooling but I wanted to show what it would do for the vast majority of guys like myself who do air cooling.

I haven't benched in years as my passion is in the DC area not into the fastest speeds possible but the fastest speeds possible for sustained 24/7 100% load.
I look for what system does the most work in the least amount of time and thats all I care about.
Yes, to make the thread I did run superpi as it is a valid measurement of computational power when comparing one like system against another and also, it's a fast bench that doesn't take a lot of time.
I also ran Cinebench10 for the same reason.
Last I ran the two main DC apps that people do on this forum;WCG and Folding at Home.
This wasn't a "cherry picked" system to the best of my knowledge but an Intel press kit and unless all of the Press kits were "cherry picked" mine should be the same as what people can buy.
I'd like to comment on Francois Piedenoel also.
What some miss here is that although he is an Intel employee and his loyalties are with them he is also like many of us.
He's a gamer, a guy that does DC work like myself, and a hardware junky from what I see.
He's also a decent guy, one you'd like to sit down and have a few drinks with.
Usually with people at his level of the business world you see an ego and condescending attitude but what I saw was just a guy that loved the hobby as we do but also had the "dream job" for someone that loves the hobby.

I'd like to comment to the comments made on the AMD zone in the screen shot below.

No one buys me ever. I have friends here but no one has ever approached me asking me to shade my feelings on any issue.
I speak my mind as I see things and I imagine there are times when some would wish I shut my mouth.
I try and look right down the middle when moderating no matter what the issue is. The only thing I am a stickler on is civility to each other.
My one flaw if you wish to call it that is that even at age 56 I still have passions. That feeling of wonder one experiences such as when you saw the Grand Canyon for the first time or your first love and I think some have misinterpreted those passions for me being "bought"

My last feeling on this thread is that when will people get beyond this constant AMD vs Intel rivalry?
They are companies that exist to make a profit and that is their main goal.
To "love" one and hate the other is so ridiculous as to be laughable.
They will each have their time to shine and also their time when they don't.
It is that simple and if I can see that I wonder why some can not.
Take the best that each can offer and if you prefer one over the other thats fine but don't let that feeling grow into an obsession and rule your emotions.
Thanks for reading.

I certainly agree with this. This is the reason why I stay out of forums and threads about products I dislike and wish others could do the same.

Well said!
i'd also like to add that aussiefx made an error when he said that the Nehalem didn't do any better in folding at home at the same speeds.
This is a quote from my thread that he linked to:
"I asked around in the Folding section and was told that the fastest machine they'd seen, a yorkie at 4000 on water, had done app 3300 points a day.
As you see in the pic below the Nehalem is closing on 5000 points a day."
To clarify: I was seeing just under 5000 points a day on the nehalem at 3733MHz on air cooling while a Yorkfield on water cooling at 4000mhz was getting 3300 a day.
That is in the first post in the thread.

Does anyone know where and how can I get this kind of AMD shirt?

[tbone8ty]

the new dragon logo looks like it could be petty sweet shirt....remember that AMD spider shirt? that looked kinda cool

[Chris_redfield]

sack the t-shirt I want the hardware setup!

very true!!! what was i thinking... thanks for keeping us on topic, haha


do u think they will come out with newer editions mobos for deneb(am2+)

[cbjaust]

Hopefully not necessary for DDR2 Deneb or DDR3 Deneb in AM2+ board but there are sure to be new versions to support DDR3 and don't forget that the 800 series chipsets will be coming later as well.

Cheers

I'm not sure why you would defend Who, Movieman. After reading his posts on a couple different threads, the vast majority of what I saw from him was flamebaiting. I wouldn't describe that as a "normal guy" personally. I'd just describe that as 999 in 1000 Internet forumers: rude, obnoxious, unhelpful, and annoying. I bet he's a normal guy in real life, but in front of a keyboard at a forum he just comes off as another brand fanboy with a chip on his shoulder...like a lot of us all the time and all of us some of the time.

I completely agree with your summary though: We shouldn't be fighting over brands.

I defended him for lack of a better word as I've read enough of his posts here and elsewhere to see the man behind the name.
The man I saw is friendly, helpfull, smarter than the vast majority and last 'just a guy" who likes the same things we do.
Add into that that at least in my opinion Xs is a better place with his first hand knowledge replacing others guessing about the product.
Now I will agree that in an AMD thread he stuck his nose into the hornets nest and people responded in kind.
He thinks he's got the best mousetrap in town and he's proud of it.
Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't and we'll know that when this new AMD product hits the guys here at Xs for some real testing from people we trust.
now, back to our regularlly scheduled feature..

[flippin_waffles]

I've read his posts here and elsewhere also, for quite a while. And all I see is a sales pitch. There might be other nuggets mixed in there as well, but in the end he's here to tout Intel products, end of story. Now, i'm not saying there's anything wrong with that as long as there's no disparaging or the like happening, and in the right place. But please, at least call it what it really is- a sales pitch.

And I think what irritates people more than anything, are statements like this: come on, leave the AMD guys alone, let them have a little fun and enjoy it while they can. Not verbatum, but I can't find the quote. To me that wreaks of arrogance and I don't take kindly to being belittled.

[chew*]

I think some of you may still remember RD 580 namely the sapphire one in this example, and remember socket 462. Nehalem ocing for movie man is compared to lets say Core 2 via the options in bios is like comparing 462 on an nf2 to 939 on a manta.

Me personally i love more buttons.

Anyway can't wait for amd, all 3 of my phase change units have been very lonely and collecting dust.......

Should I believe that Phenom II CPUs are going to work at 4GHz 24/7 under water, at 32°C on load, or that they are made with high k metal gates?
This is not a thread for Intel or AMD fanboys.
I am just an average Jo and I want to learn what should I really expect from Phenom II CPUs.
So I accept any posts with good info.
Do you?

[soundood]

i wonder if macci managed to get the vid card recognised with this version of AOD?

[Oliverda]

"Theo also claims AMD's latest AM3 Phenom II CPUs generate 16GB/s from dual channel DDR3-1333MHz."

"...since we have received information about DDR3-1600 and even DDR3-1866 working on prototype motherboards from a very-well known AMD partner."

I hope that these news are true.

[Oese]

now the amd payback times are about to come. I'm sitting here with a drop-in ready system for phenom II and enuff experience to draw out my 4,2ghz under water in a minute

provided dfi gives me that needed bios..

SO do you think there will be bios to support DDR3 memory in our ddr2 slot?
