AMD To Crank Up Phenom II Clock-Speeds Upto 3.50 GHz, Planning New Models

[MrMojoZ]

Good post.

Anything that downplays AMD is a good post, right? Even when they are wrong of course. Sad.

mAJORD's posted was grounded in reality.

The fact home users can clock their chips to an arbitrary clockrate does not translate into a manufacturer being able to validate a comercially viable yield at that clockrate.

Of course, don't that interfere with the thread degrading into infantile abuse and counter abuse. Thats what most of you are here for, isn't it.

We are not arguing that point but we are arguing

No Current phenom II will go near a stable 3.6Ghz on low volts with a stock cooler,

The fact many are doing so with ease.

Actually, you left out the important part:

"No Current phenom II will go near a stable 3.6Ghz on low volts with a stock cooler, at high temperatures,"

Having a bad day?

Nope as you left out the fact that it will do it on stock Volts on the stock cooler.

He was actually generous, he said "low volts."

[Final8ty]

He was actually generous, he said "low volts."

Which is wrong as the stock cooler has to handle stock volts which was the original point for comments about AMD releasing a 3.5 stock CPU.
He was basically saying that its very unlikely & we were just informing that in fact that is not so.

Anything that is logically coherent and acts as an impediment to irrational hype is good.

mAJORD's post had those qualities in spades.

Which basically makes you the other side of the same coin.

I guess thinking that makes it easier for you to sleep at night.

Makes no difference to me

Sure, plenty of phenom II's can get to 3.6ghz on air... with 32 bit Windows. I just installed Windows 7 x64 and I can tell you that the difference between x86 and x64 and alot. 4ghz at 1.6v doing the 8k at prime in x64 made my evap head get all the way up into the -10's range, I can't touch temperatures that high with x86 and I do 4.16 stable with the new bios. I think its supposed to be rated to do 0C at 200W load, and if it climbs that much then its drawing more than that because at 1024k it was sitting at -40C.

Edit: But right now temperatures seem to be back under control with the voltage dropped to 1.575 in bios. Still draws much more power in x64 making 3.6ghz extremely hard to do on stock volts. My cpu isn't the greatest because it only does 3.48 on stock volts.
