AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

The memory was set at 1866 CL8, and may be with Hypers even some more latency where lowered.

Isn't 20865 still too much?

Reading further that Romanian article I've found some other "interesting" bits (Googlish):

5066MHz with a voltage high frequency power was obtained 1.475va with a minimum of stability. I had full stability at frequencies of 4700-4800MHz, which is nothing like Sandy Bridge where most can run 5.1-5.2GHz stable.

Is it really the case...? I've heard most top at 4.7-4.8, just like BD. And some say you need a better cooler for that, just like with BD.

The stock voltage of 1.4v I noticed just scaling up to 1.475v, further having apparently need a better cooling. Worrying was the fact that although we have not increased too much pressure, ammeter began to show alarming levels when we made ​​some runs at 4.8 GHz of Cinebench ... 22.4 A, which translates to ~ 268W. Let us imagine for a second what it means and frequencies above 5 GHz 1.55v should be put into operation another reactor at Cernavoda.

How funny... Anyway, in case 1.55V is really too much (is it?), just why they didn't went up to 1.5? Perhaps because BD would have reached 5.1-5.2, indeed?

This is a company that doesn't give a rat's ass about it's consumer base.

BS! Then why they've made AM2+/AM3/AM3+ as much backwards/forwards compatible as possible? Why they've changed plans and now going to release Piledriver on AM3+, as well?
