winchester with SS

[chikitano]

Hello, is it true that winchesters from week 50 all come with strained silicone?? do they rise much more with SS? Or is just a little bit more than normal ones?

[trans am]

Who is spreading these rumours?

[chikitano]

I heard in a forum here in Spain... for that reason I ask

Is lie then?

Salu2.

[trans am]

Yeah, it's a lie.
There isn't even proof that the current FX55 uses it.

[chikitano]

rumors

I have one in order.... they give good results?

Salu2

[trans am]

Yes, they are good, but I don't think it has anything to do with SS. It's just better yields. processors usually improve as they mature. I am waiting for 2005 chips.

[chikitano]

Ok, I will tell you that so it goes.... I hope that it arrives at 2700

Salu2 and thanks

i got a week 50 from monarch . Unfortunately im too lazy to put it in since im gonna be shifting all my stuff from one case to the other soon .

Week 50 in sig

Week 50 in sig

What are the last 4 letters, behind the week?

0451APAW 3200 winchester sucks 2550 tops with 1.7v

Ok i am not complaing its a gamble just saying dont expect a certain week to do good

Lucky i have my 3400 754 single channel to bail me out kicking the 939 butt :banana4:

Although i can run my corsiar xlpt 2x512mb @ 7-3-3-2.5 @ 2.7v @ 270 1-1 with this chip

[DevilsRejection]

SS isn't happening until summer guys, the turion 64 will be the first iteration of processors with SS technology.

[apu673]

Ya don't expect it too soon, the first chips with SS are going to be high PR chips, and by the time they trickle down to the 3000's and 3200's, it might be late in summer.

[craig588]

Whats the deal with X.6 chips? They are always clocking much better than the X.5 chips.

[perry_78]

Yeah, high PR, and cost enough to buy a poor african family enough food for the whole year

[craig588]

huh? I have seen as low as 3400+ X.6 chips.

[Skip]

what does x.5 and x.6 mean? also, if SS is coming out in the summer, i would think it might be universal, 90nm started at low pr.

The version of the cpu. In CBI there is a little box that says the version. The 1MB chips have a 2.x rating and the 512KB chips have a 0.x rating. the 2nd number is the acctual revision, the chips that only support 1T are x.4, the ones that can use either 1T or 2T are x.5 then right around the time the FX55 (~week 35) came out new chips started appering with the version x.6 that clocked very well. It might not be SS, but there is definatly a signifigant difference between the x.5s and the x.6s.

I had a week 50 3200+ TPGW that wouldn't go above 260 at 1.63v on my 0441 Neo2 or on my 0445 Neo2. At 9x, the top was 280 stable at about the same voltage...

[Theo404]

All fx-s are ss......sSOI

[Skip]

mine says version 3.1 in CBID i have a 0442 RPGW. so what does that mean in the x.5 and x.6 business again?

[craig588]

I was acctually going off topic a little bit and talking about NCs and CHs, I am unsure or what numbers are given to different WCs.

[Skip]

oh, never mind then.

[OC Detective]

Yeah, it's a lie.
There isn't even proof that the current FX55 uses it.

There is categoric proof that the FX55 uses it as it is on the AMDEdge website (subscribe via the www.amd.com site)
Here is the text in question:
"Conclusion
AMD’s experience manufacturing 130nm transistors using copper interconnects, SOI, and low-k dielectrics is paying off today in its rapid shift to 90nm. Not only do the 90nm processors boast improved power characteristics, but they are generally regarded as featuring better clock scalability as well. Consequently, AMD is in a strong position moving forward, as its low-power consumption numbers are an encouraging sign for the micro-architecture’s future.

With strained silicon already a part of the AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 processor, you can expect to see AMD making further adjustments to its 90nm process in the months to come, leading up to availability of dual-core processors scheduled for 2005. The completion of Fab 36 will culminate the life of 90nm as AMD shifts gears to 65nm manufacturing and begins tooling up for the eventual adoption of 45nm and beyond."
