AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[mongoled]

What if IPC will be lower in some cases and higher in others?

Well hypothetically, terrance would need to be reinstated and JF wouldnt have blatently lied, LOL

We will see very soon for sure.

I think many people are going to be dissapointed as they have too high expectations, the second respin of the chip that is touted for late Q1/2012 should show the real prospective performance of AMD's new architecture......

No. They've been already done and been sent out to testers. And they're crap.

bro take a look at this

No. They've been already done and hand out to testers. And they're crap.

Really? I don't recall AMD acknowledging that they've handed out the final product to testers for evaluation. Must have missed it.....

[Smartidiot89]

Umh, no. It might be crap for all I know but the other part isn't correct.

No, this is too slow....the same score has x6 1075T at stock setings in x64 OS....

[Pestilence]

all we know is server is shipping for revenue and will launch Q4,so said JF

he also said this in regards to BLT on ETA's.

I honestly don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Blt obviously has good information about prices because its right on with tank guys figures.

Unfortunately Blt doesn't give a date expected for bd but when they do I have a feeling it'll be very close to accurate

Sorry for nagging but it's better to keep silent these time, yes those result are crappy but you still have no evidence to say that they're not true or intentionally crippled.
Since I won't bother those benchmark, and first is to worried whether the release is on time or not. According to anandshimpi there was lots of revision coming these weeks, even none of them can affirm which will be hard launch.

[informal]

While that score may indeed be true we should better wait for the real thing to come out. So far the leaks are kinda mixed bad- ranging from bad to kinda good(like opterons and their own sisoft scores).

He wasn't banned for making an unpopular prediction, he was banned for being a troll. Right or not makes no difference as far as that is concerned.

Here some prices:

http://www.cpu-world.com//news_2011/...ries_CPUs.html

http://www.extremetech.com/computing...y-bridge?print

AMD’s FX Series will be very, very cheap: the six-core FX-6100 (i.e. three Bulldozer modules [4]) clocked at 3.3GHz, with a Turbo Core boost to 3.9GHz, will retail for just $155. The eight-core (four-module) FX-8120, clocked at 3.1GHz and boosted to 4GHz, will retail for $185 — and the 3.6GHz/4.2GHz FX-8150 will retail for $230. Each Bulldozer module has 2MB of L2 cache, so the FX-6100 has 6MB of L2 — and its eight-core brethren have 8MB. All three chips have 8MB of L3 cache.

I am all for price drops, but if this is the case I doubt AMD is just trying to capture market share. There has to be similar performance to what is mentioned in this thread to make the 8150 be priced at the 2500K. Even the 940 BE got released at $300ish I think. Really doesn't follow any kind of pricing scheme by the looks of it. I would rather have AMD be ahead and have the 8150 cost $400. Oh well.

[Manicdan]

no 4 core price, any speculation on that?

If you check out the cpu-world and what it says there, Zambezi 6C is actually 188$ ,not 155$. I have no idea where xtremetch pulled those numbers from. We know that one guy that has his own store (tankguys) said he will be selling 8150 for 260$, 8120 for 234$ and 6100 for 205$.

I've understood Bulldozer was going to be quite the speed demon but a new world record? I am eagerly awaiting more news regarding this!

A bunch of renowned overclockers beats world record with a processor from the next -- the bar is raised to as much as 8 -- MHz

as cool as these clocks might be to you xtremists, i just want to know typical 24/7 water OC

[radaja]

Oop's i just reread JF's Bulldozer Pre-launch FAQ and i guess it wont count

Im just kidding

Q. I saw a world record OC on xyz website. Is that how bulldozer will OC?:A. No. All OC's posted before launch will "NOT" be representative of actual BD OC's.
