Amd is going to bust out BD on LN2 for 6Ghz then Intel is going to bust out Ivy Bridge that does 5Ghz on a Passive Heatsink

then amd will up the multiplier to 8ghz and intel will up the multi to 6ghz, where its locked

Takes BD 8Ghz to match IB at 6Ghz anyway

Kindly restrict your trolling to Intel section... We're here in "AMD" section to read some bits and bytes about the new processors which are to come out sometime soon... If you've nothing worthwhile to add, please do not be a nuisance.

To admin and other staff: Sincerest apologies... but i guess someone had to herd the trolls to the barn...

On topic. Bring out the news already... why would you deprive us of our sleep... 8+ ghz is good, and i'll conclude on LN2. However, if it manages even close to 6 on air/ water, it would be quite something alright. Personally i don't overclock much. I do love how AMD platforms are better specced for the same money, and by a mile, and if you're on a budget... unless you have some specific use in mind, AMD is the obvious choice, which i recommend to people who ask advice on such matters. However, if anyone from AMD is paying attention, in India, your dealers resort to price gouging (on purpose... hint, hint!), thereby positioning Intel's processors are better value. Sometimes, AMD is plain screwing up... which can't help you gaining market-share in any manner. When i bought my old system, C2D e6600 & e6750 were priced cheaper/ same than a X2 6000. Just saying...

On the architecture... there seemingly are bottlenecks that people are pointing to, but i guess, programming has not even started to use all the cores on a processor much, leave alone hitting a bottleneck (excluding specific server usage). All in all, i expect nothing less than 10-20% due to improvements in the prefetch, and some other improvements, at the same clock. If there's anything less... i'll guess that will have to be explained as some snag (aka TLB of Phenom), which will explain Charlie's statement WRT improvements in Q1 2012, with a new revision. I also think that it may have something to do with specific patches to be written for the OS to enable usage of all the improvements brought in by the new instruction set(s). AMD did write one such for Linux in the July this year. Next year, Win 8 is to be hitting shelves, which may bring a new SP for Win 7 & Vista (may be). Too many questions...

Great post! Did you do that for "For Sale" section access?

Sorry mate... it is getting a handful to distinguish between trolls and harmless banter
Once again, apologies for ruffling feathers

I did not know about a section called "for sale." my activities here are limited to news/ cpu and gpu sections :P

It is obvious unless AMD screws up big time like TLB on Phenom, BD will see some gains (at the same clock) in the range i mentioned. Intel also gained a whole lot in Nehalem and now SB, so why shouldn't AMD with BD? Now, precisely how much, it is anybody's guess. I merely posted my views on all that i've read so far.

Hahhaa, AMD must have something HUGE planned.

I hope it's not just an 8GHz BD on LN2. I mean that's great for enthusiasts, but it's not like everyone here is cooling their rig with a LN2 pot.

8 Ghz BD on LN2...
6.6 Ghz Thuban on LN2...

4.1-4.2 Ghz Thuban on air/water...
X.X-X.X Ghz BD on air/water?...4.2 stock, so I'd take a stab around 4.8 if I were to pull a number out of my mind

So if we don't have an LN2 pot installed on our computers, we aren't enthusiasts?
I don't really care what BD will do with LN2. I'll never get the chance to use the stuff. Air and water are my concerns!

Hell, I would. Where better to lay the proverbial smack down, particularly if there's the chance the product is incredible? LOL
