AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

500 mhz boost is great but what is the nominal clock?

3.5ghz is said to be the top bin 8 core chip.

So it's about 7 weeks to launch, and no useful performance leaks yet?
That's nothing short of impressive. I mean, how is that even possible these days?

NDA's...

Theres no future in AM3+ ,at least according to AMD.Komodo will have PCIE integrated and require new socket.AMD hasnt put out ANY info about "future" of the am3+.
As for the turbo, yes youre right it seems ,kind of a smart turbo i see.However if its determinded by the TDP (same technology as in cayman?) on the desktop segment i would not expect more, because desktop parts are clocked a lot faster from the get go.Unless youre thinking we will get like 5ghz on turboed chip.Which i find hard to believe, remember that BD has longer pipeline and higher base clock than the PHII.

hhhmm maybe like how K10.5 is llano cores it will be new socket but won't over come the highest chips without GPU, because they'll be using cards instead of on die gpu.

I think, maxboost can be 4.5 GHz with one or 2 modules active. But Im a bit spectical-I think, will be up to 4.2 GHz :-)

I'm thinking this going to be a 8 thread vs 8 cores fight :-/

as for the 990FX better SSD not likey untill the change A link III from 1.0 pci-express to to 2.0 the link from South bridge to northbridge is a pci-express 4x link. in 1.0
they could be able change it to a hyper tranport link to each other, idrk if thats possible.
