Stupid pet trick or not I would say that an AMD processor that not only posted, not only ran windows stable, not only ran stable loops of Crysis 2 demo, but did so at a stagering clock speed of something north of 5gHz (reported at something north of 6gHz) is almost unbelievable. A processor revision that not only killed the coldbug but blew the top of the best OC of the previous chip by better than 50 percent. Fanboi or no fanboi that is impressive. It is also apparent that some percentage of the retail parts will be fully capable of operating 24/7 in the 4gHz region. As a drop in chip replacement AMD is going to get some love from desktop and server users.
I understand that all the Phenom II (Deneb) parts are tdp of 95w at 2.8gHz and below. Whoops looks like the 2.8gHz am2+ is listed as 125w tdp, wonder if this has more to do with the am2+ MB/chipset or if they expect to get the tdp down in the am3 revision of deneb. Phenom II parts clocked at and above 3.0gHz are tdp 125w.Source zdnet Also Opteron (Shanghai) cores to 2.7gHz have tdp (acp?) of 75w. The Shanghai is just a Deneb in a server package. A 65w Phenom II is very likely, though I expect that they will all be AM3 chips. Looks like the last hura for the AM2+ is the 920/940Originally Posted by ownage
You don't get my point.
All we know is that all listed phenom2 cpu's will have 125watt TDP, and when overclocked Deneb needs more voltage then Nehalem, as far as we know. So I don't see moderate power consumption happening with these chips. Even with lower clocked Phenom2 cpu's TDP's won't be under 95, an what's the point having a low clocked CPU?
A Deneb cruncher can be cheaper then a I7 crunchr, just because everything you need for a Deneb system will be cheaper.
