Thuban II X6 comes as a Phenom 1000-series "With pretty slides"

[ajaidev]

"As we have learned from an anonymous source, the 6-Kerner, code-named "Thuban" in the Phenom 1000-Series II X6 appear. Wie aus einem Dokument, das ATi-Forum.de vorliegt, hervorgeht, wird es zum Start drei Modelle namens Phenom II X6 1035, Phenom II X6 1055 und Phenom II X6 1075 mit einer TDP von 95 Watt bzw. 125 Watt erscheinen. As a document, there is the ATi-Forum.de showing, it will appear to launch three models II X6 named Phenom 1035, Phenom 1055 and Phenom II X6 II X6 1075 a TDP of 95 watts and 125 watts."

Nice nice slides dont get hyped up about the cache its total not L3

EDIT: Where the hell are the 140w thuban's??

"Tri-Core: Do More than Dual Core"

Now that's catchy. What, did they have an engineer come up with that one?

[Mechromancer]

April 26th will be a good day for AM2+ guys like me. Upgrade time!

[FlanK3r]

higher models (140W) coming later, maybe at Juli-August.

[wuttz]

im hoping these arent cold-bugged also. six-cores at 7GHz w/ LHe;
sampsa/chew*/SF3D/dedal needs to go head-to-head, -250C overclocking showdown!

If I recall correctly, Intel launched the original Core 2 Duos with the following tagline: "Dual Core. Do More." So this here appers to be some sort of pun, i believe.
Here's the only remainder I found: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/s...=us&l=en&cs=19
Sound familiar now?

I'm in the same boat as you Mech. I cannot wait, will be my last pc upgrade for a long time.

All depends on price to performance though, compared to my current 940

there are no 140W thuban's don't always believe the fud. btw those slides are 3 months old, but i guess now they are cut paste by some people from the nda docs, that is also the reason why there is no actual speed on the docs, since it wasn't there only on recent slides it is available.

[Dimitriman]

I'm now left wondering why Cache difference is so small between 4 core and 6 core phenom.

maybe this is part of the strategy to keep it @ 125W

[zalbard]

Not sure about their marketing... But I like the product line-up numbers used. Quite simple, and makes sense.

Add 2 x L1 + L2 to a quad-core. L3 remains the same I guess.

[DosDuoNo]

so AM2+ supports Thuban with a bios upgrade?

[Dimitriman]

Add 2 x L1 + L2 to a quad-core. L3 remains the same I guess.

humm I guess my brain skipped a beat there.

[Chrono Detector]

Would like to see the clock speeds, most likely the highest one would be clocked at 2.8Ghz at 125W for now. Would want a 3Ghz Black Edition, though that will have to wait for a while.

[Sn0wm@n]

is amd doing another revision like some rumors want us to believe... C4 revision?????

[lkiller123]

This is looking good, I hope the price will be reasonable.

If my memory serves me well, Thuban is supposed to be D0.

[Lightman]

If my memory serves me well, Thuban is supposed to be D0.

If what JF said is true then Thuban is Rev. Ex because of silicon changes.

[SocketMan]

Add 2 x L1 + L2 to a quad-core. L3 remains the same I guess.

L1:128kb x2=256kb
L2:512kb x2=1024

The picture says there is only 1024kb difference (9mb vs 8mb),
guess they skipped the L1 count or broke their calculator

[mAJORD]

They never count L1 anymore. They used to on older generation a64 boxes though.

[Vozer]

L2:512kb x2=1024

Yes, they skipped the L1 cache. And X4 900T processors are actually X6 1000T processors with 2 disabled cores (L3 remain unaffected), I suppose.

[ajaidev]

Ya i think in X4 900T the T stands for Thuban.

Maybe its a clue for the ppl that you maybe able to unlock this in to 6 cores.

[Chickenfeed]

So if I am understanding this correctly, Thuban will perform the same as Denab clock for clock but has the advantage of 2 more threads (as well as being on a smaller process I take ) Also has there been any word on potential price points thus far? ( I haven't been keeping up to this )

[ajaidev]

Thuban will be 45nm and its the same thing as i7 920 vs i7 980x other than that.

Thuban and Deneb are different architectures but Thuban does have similarities to it.
Gulftown and Bloomfield are different architectures but Gulftown does have similarities to it.

For your application and core question just look at any i7 980x review the applications where it performs much better than the i7 quad at same clock is where the added cores are being used it will a similar case for Thuban.
