AMD Shows Deneb (Phenom II) pictures of 6.2GHz CPUz etc

[informal]

i understand it that way: they tested all 30 and took the three best....

Also im with that what Leeghoofd said, we dont know if that 30 cpus where retail or what ever else, so maybe they where already preselected.

But to be honest i don't care anymore for that event, i want to see results from users around here.

Get real, Do you really think that AMD did not cherry pick, Who said they did not? AMD? Did they just pick 30 random cpus from the fab? All questions will be answered only when the cpus launch and we go into the AMD section and see what the ordinary punters are getting. Speculating here is just that, Speculating.

Just for the two of you, this is from the XS member bldegle2,a man who attended the AMD event,so he is the most credible source we can get at the moment:

[responding to Frontl1ne's question about handpicking and the process of selection of CPus]

"Frontl1ne"

LN2 runs are hard enough on components and the warmup time needed to swap the CPU after a run makes doing 30 separate runs a real pain in the arze....

So I will explain again, they had a bag of 30 processors that had passed the intitial testing at the factory after pouring, cutting, pinning and lidding the raw product, then they picked three ONLY at random from that bag, ran tests on those three alone, and used the best one.......

Laterzzzz...................

So that Hornet331's theory falls apart after this post of bldegle2.It's simply impractical to do what Hornet331 claims and bldegle2 explained it well in his post.

Then he talks about the event,summarizing it:

"Were sure not getting much info from last nights event. Come on guys give us more........Please...."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

?????????????????? 6.2 on LN2 (1,9v), 4.4 on phase (somewhere close to stock v), 4 gig on air at near stock volts again, DDR2/DDR3 side by side comparison (virtually equal) so you don't have to run out and get a very expensive DDR3 MB, and DDR3....all units at the event were running 4 gig or better.....WPrime run 32bit 6.33 seconds, if that is not enough information to cover most of the bases then.....................

if you want more info's, attend the Chicago or New York event personally......I went to verify what I had heard and have a chance at some product and meet several playa's from AMD.....all of which I accomplished.....

I was actually on the verge of switching over to Intel, but Friday's event put a stopper in that thought, at least for now....

laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

And last but not least,his post from cpu-central(for which he gave a permission to post around ). This will mean a LOT to extreme OCers,since it speaks about virtually no coldbug whatsoever for the Deneb gen. of chips(brace yourself: -269C,liquid Helium!!!):

no cold bugs....

and they are experiementing with liquid Helium @-269*c, a little harder delivery since it atomizes almost instantly when exposed to air, so it is delivered via a tube inserted into the liquid Helium and just the injection of the tube tickles the Helium to coarse up and out the tube into the container....

i didn't ask, but i assume the Helium runs made everyones voice change and octave or three that got close to the evaporating Helium gases, sounds like a laughable situation.....still no significant cold bug noted....mind you, MB components can do weird things when chilled just by proximity.

last night the MB went down early on, so they put fans on the LN2 container and surrounding MB close to the ziff and she came back to life for the latter LN2 runs....

Thanks bldegle2 for the valuable information .
