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

[AliG]

Say what now?

I don't think that's real, for one, 500ghz is ridiculous (simply because not even intel has bothered to try for that when they had a goal of 10ghz stock cpus, it would require way too much power to run, you'd be better off going for efficiency, and for another, just that it is some 490ghz above the world record for the p4 makes it even less plausible when the p4 was designed for ghz), for another, it talks about sony waiting to use the 500ghz cpus for the PS3 which we know for a fact did not happen (the article is from 2006), probably just some joke

500Ghz is easy as such...for a few transistors. But making 1 billion of them go at 500ghz is..a whole other story.

It's not the point(the sheer Ghz).The point is that ICs can work at such a low temps as IBM showed back in 2006,the thing you said was not possible.

Uhm..no? They didnt show a CPU running at -269 or -270C. No CMOS anywhere
Plus the the chip wasnt near absolute zero for sure. However they used the helium instead of LN2 etc as a more functional and controlled cooling (Plus helium is an inert gas unlike nitrogen). Its not just puring it down into a pot like with OC here. 350Ghz at room. 500Ghz cooled. But overdramatizing sells.

Here is also the actual article from NYtimes. And without the fake pic.

Its a 500Ghz radio transmitter basicly.

Ofcourse you could just use field effect transistors....

Think we are still talking CPU's here and that 500GHZ post is such a joke... why do some hold onto it ? think the person that googled it was also not aware of the real story behind that nice eyecatching title...the guy that chose that title must be a reporter of the Inq now or maybe of the Sun...

Give it all a rest... this thread is really getting nowhere with all this non stop posting about nothing... would be nice if a moderator cleaned up these threads and removed the zillions of useless posts... I have no clue what the point is of some posts : to show that you are more literate then another person, more technical skilled,...to show off how clever you seem to be ?

Thx V_rr for some early results... at least something usefull in this thread...

What do you all expect AMD to do from a part that hasn't officially launched yet? There are enough people who can be trusted that showed up at the event and saw everything with their own eyes. I believe that more than what I just described above.

Still shows me no proof about the discussion if the cpu's were also preselected or not (which so many seem to defend here that AMD did NOT preselect anything), if they had disabled certain stuff in the CPU to get it running faster etc... AMD seems to have something up their sleeve and I'm looking forward to it... BUT if it just is able to equal current socket 775 CPU's (Oc'ed ofcourse) then they remain a step behind and Intel will continue to dominate the OC'ing scene (I care zilch about servers, laptops etc...)

Wrong if it can equal current socket 775 CPU but can OC higher it can be an interesting alternative on the OC'ing scene.

so true, i7 platforms cost 2 times more than amd ones
