Has it died on you or you were sure it will survive this operation?

When we can expect first results from you?
BTW in Athlons 64 mem controller was in sync with CPU clock, so X2 6000+ ran at 3GHz

Independent IMC clock is required for independent core clocking. Also enabled K10 to maintain same memory frequency across a range of CPU multipliers (K8 memory speed varied depending on CPU multi.). Same as in Griffin, Regor will have ability to clock cores at different speeds. I only hope AMD added option to completely shut down a core when not needed! That would be cool on a laptop!
thanks Lightman..

The only CPU I'm not sure if it still works is the 9850BE, due to the heating process to flow solder, I bent the package, and failed to straighten it before it cooled (it was ****** hot!) and it's stayed bent. Have to try reheat+straighten and see if it hasn't fractured any of the bumps under the die!

I'll post results tonight, as an idea though, Agena/Kuma like perf. clk/clk Looking at around..
2.5-10% on basic integer varies wildly
10-15% for gaming/3dmark, (With a 2000NB)
POV ray in the 20%+
Encoding 10-15%

and an interesting one.. SSE2 Mandrelbot bench.. ~75%

Coming tonight also, need to swap a low power vid card in, or maybe throw them in a MINIX

Regards, Hans
wow, Griffin was larger than I thought

Is that an official figure? My measurment may be a bit off, i'll borrow some decent verniers
