AMD Trinity news (looks, its near to launch?)

[god_43]

Does visual studio use Intels compiler? Does intels compiler not compile specific AMD instructions ever? How about Linux compilers? What about C# or Java, surely they don't care about Intels change, with respect to AMDs, and compile Just in Time to make use of AMDs instruction set.

Seems the article is trying valiantly to make out Bulldozer was garbage due to Intel making changes to their compiler. Which of course is Garbage.

well the intel compiler does not really matter anymore (back in the a64 days, i believe most were using the intel compiler) for a number of reasons. bulldozer does better than the intel parts with the right software....so that part is true. but most people use the vs compiler, and all other compilers are cpu neutral.

its a 3 part article, and i like part 3 the most. goes over interesting power savings enhancements

I disregarded the intel compiler bit.... AMD's got to much to worry about internally then to worry about that.

but who knows a lot of it just seems like opinion, with a few facts from the leaked slides sprinkled in.

cyclos clock mesh is more interesting

but I am excited they tweaked almost every part of the bulldozer design

looks like it will be phenom I to phenom II all over again.

Trinity for server/desktop (Orochi Rev. Cx) is already in production. So we won't have to wait that long between mobile and server/desktop launch

Trinity is not Orochi (it´s Trinity) and it won´t be available for servers.
Desktop & Mobile only.

I think he is talking about 8 piledriver cores for desktop and server. I reeeeally hope it works ok on my 890fxa motherboard

[FlanK3r]

990FXA, 890FX is old...And hope next year for integrated NB in desktop "highend" segment

Nah, that's what it is called at the FAB. Orochi Rev.Cx = Piledriver cores (in this case may be Abu Dhabi or Vishera)

I know its old, but with my 890fxa i can use a bulldozer cpu, i just don't because buying an fx cpu would be a bad decision, i am just hoping to be able to use next generation bulldozer.

Amd really faildozed me here

890fx might be old , but there are only 2 differences between them .

- HyperTransport 3.1, which increases the link speed from 5.2GT/s to 6.4GT/s
- NVIDIA SLI support

the (Raid,USB,Sata,..) functions of the SB850 = SB950 .

hmm ill have to pick myself up a Trinity M6

June 20th

----------------------------

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/h...ks-sleekbooks/

HP ENVY Sleekbook (15.6-inch model)
Starts at $599.99; available on June 20

Operating system: Windows 7 Premium (64-bit)
Display: 15.6 inches (1366 x 768 resolution)
CPU: a second-generation AMD APU
Memory: 4GB 1600MHz DDR3
Storage: 320GB HDD
Connectivity: 802.11a/g/n
Ports include: Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 (2), USB 2.0 (1), HDMI, SD reader
Weight: starting at 4 pounds

im assuming this model will have the 17w trinity...kinda lame they spec it with a 320g hardrive, all these should at least have hybrid ssd or ssd

[marten_larsson]

I'm really hoping for some nice ultra portables with GOOD screen, comparable to Apple, so that the next time my mother wants to buy a laptop she could look away from Apple. Are there any with comparable screen in a comparable price to the McBook Air?

[rk7p5]

I would love to build a fun budget OC rig using Piledriver. Hopefully ipc is at a decent level and power use is better, though all around performance and ipc is really what Amd needs.

Something doesn't look right with those scores I dunno...

The M6 looks nice, I like that it comes with backlite keyboard

need ivy bridge comparison stat!

[kl0012]

Not much info here... This is based on two benchmarks (3dmark06 & 3d Vantage). HD4000 is about 100% faster then HD3000 there.

It's not even Trinity, which makes it even more impressive if true tho.

[tbone8ty]

it is Trinity

just need to wait for more complete results

ill post this again....

http://www.nordichardware.com/news/7...d-trinity.html

cpu results look horrible...or something is wrong.... the old slow IPC with higher clocks are still a problem looks like.

[kuroikenshi]

It has to be, since the A10 is scoring lower than the A8....

different TDP's screwed me up...an A10 at 25w is impressive

vrzone wrote it is Brazos 2.0?

[haylui]

Vp8 is decoding video while Sinjulia is utilizing x87 instructions.
From the graph we could see Intel is very good at x87

And A10-4655 (2.0GHz) is near to SB i5-2467M 1.6GHz now?

35W for Brazos 2.0...?

[Mats]

Yeah that's weird, but it's also called R-464L, seems like VR assumes it's Brazos just because it's embedded.
