AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[Formula350]

mabye only one reason, could not be fake is: it was CPU-Z 1.56 or 1.57 and sample was in AM3 board (not AM3+). But from my side, I thinking, its fake . We can only waiitng for relase date

We discussed that on the last page, that it's fake. :\

So I was digging into making that photoshopped CPU-Z image to show 2good, when I noticed something about the ORIGINAL... Wouldn't the "Package" line be blue like the rest of the labeled of filled boxes? Yet, it shows Gray, as if it was originally empty...

That image is fake, the word would not be gray if the line is filled.
Its a really nice photoshop, but then again I could change the frequency to 3400 on my last photoshopped image and then proclaim its true.

(still in response to Flanker) Like I mentioned, creating that isn't hard, I'll go ahead and finish mine just to show that point. That's probably why they blocked over the L3 and version part, was more an amature job. Not that it was bad (or that I'm not an amature), but what sells it is how they went about presenting it!

An 8-core BD shouldn't be much bigger then 20% compared to SB 4-core, and is most likely smaller than Intel's coming 6-core.

AMD did it before, with the K7 and then again with the K8, beating Intel with more design thought vs the 'brute force' or 'pure horse power' method. I think P4 is a great example of that. Anyways, I think it is definitely time for AMD to shine again, and will be more impressive (and a good "gotcha!") if they achieve more performance with the smaller die size (OK, not 'die size', but per-core size)

I think Intel's biggest 'oops' with designing was actually ditching the development of their improved graphics core Their current GPUs are obviously a lot better than their past iterations, but it's quite lacking compared to the AMD approach. The E350 might only have an HD5450 (if not completely, damn near), which performance-wise fits amazingly well with the E350, so I'm expecting Llano to really put the hurt on the i3; maybe even i5!
