AMD 12-Core MagnyCours System Overclocked 3.2Ghz !!!!

Do people think this is gonna be released as a desktop processor, or less than $2,000?

AMD must be getting nervous about Beckton. Should be some extensive demos in two weeks at IDF.

Maybe AMD rents a hotel room Haven't they done that before?

Doubt it, but this is an enthusiast forum. If Intel can dish out $1000 i7-975 McNothin specials people would likely pay 2k for 12 cores with a lot of fun potential. I mean you can take a $300 chip to OC to Intel Core i7-975. Having 12 cores is a niche and a damn fun one when you can OC to twice it's stock speed.

you think the 12 cores will come stock at 3ghz, i doubt it, more like OC to 3x its speed (with some LN2)

No they come stock at 1.8Ghz I believe the original thread said.

I don't think anyone is expecting 12 cores at 3ghz, but realistically a 2.4 to 2.6ghz part is quite doable. Maybe 3.5 (+/- 200mhz) on a very good air cooler with a little voltage!

and what does that has to do with this thread about performance and overclocking flexibility of AMD next gen K10 core(s)??

i was trying to say the OC would be 6ghz if people would get double the speed of stock. i expected these to be around 2ghz for tdp reasons

Understood!

Would be nice to see a stock desktop part at 3ghz under 125 watts. Maybe on a 32nm node.
