Easily done. Just point them to s7 post -- he overclocked two mangy cours 1.3Ghz above stock on stock vcore. I don't know about you, but to us, that is DAMN impressive! 24 cores @ 3Ghz, up from 1.7Ghz stock....Originally Posted by JF-AMD
Now I see where you got your name from
They would not do that work unless we guaranteed some degree of overclockability. Which means we incur all the cost anyway.
And only Opteron's mind is made up. I am the server guy, I am only concerned about Opteron.
I understand if you can't share anymore data/info, but I'm not getting it (somewhat) from this post... You're telling us that it's not so easy as just slapping on a IHS with a different name and some die marking that would make it identify it to CPU-Z as a xxx processor rather than a Opty? For something as simple as rebranding you have to go through a whole cycle of testing and development?
I can tell you, that taking an Opteron and rebranding it as phenom would be costly. You are basically doubling the back end validation, qualification and dev resources. Not design resources, but pretty much everything else (there is not nearly as much leverage as you would guess.)
