AMD Shanghai/Deneb Review Thread

[roofsniper]

DFM, process tweaks, etc. is all good but my point is that their is no way that a 4ghz Phenom II will only dissipate 90W at load. If you are implying that this first batch of PII are "tweaked for low power" then they must also be "tweaked for higher speed parts" as well since they are running at 4ghz with 90W?? The poof is in the pudding, if this chip could run at that speed with that wattage then we would already of seen it released as an FX chip regardless of what their tuning their process to do. $$$$$$

who said it would only be 90W at 4ghz?

edit: just read that review and it looks pretty good. im confused as to why they did the gaming tests at such a low resolution. because really whats the point of 1024x768? does anyone still run that? so that part of the review was just pointless imo. the power consumption looks good too. completely different from hwbox's results. interesting to see that the 920 and 940 use the same amount of power in standby and idle and are close in load. shows that maybe it won't heat up too bad when it overclocks. i also saw that they listed the 940 and 920 both as unlocked too so idk about that.
