3800+ Venice Screenies (Post #1 = FAQ)

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

Sorry for double post mods, but we need to straighten things out here. Venice is E3 with 512KB L2 cache. (1=128,2=256,3=512,4=1024,of which the lower are for semprons and the E is for revision E w/ SSE3, tampered mem controller (we hope) and w/out the sub-zero bug.) The E4 "San Diego" has 1MB L2 of cache - no matter whether you go 4200+ or FX-57. It *might* also be that diegos are gonna use sSOI (Strained Silicon On Isulator) production process, which allows for higher clocks (especially sub-zero, or so I've heard).

The big thing about the FX-57 though (compared to its diego sisters) is that it's the cream of the puff - they're binned the highest of all, also they've an unlocked multi (which is could turn out useful in certain cases). Also, AMD are usually extra generous when it comes to the warranty of the FXs - if you pay the price you can also expect the most. Other than that, any locked diego would probably be fine as well.

(Not all of the above stuff is confirmed, feel free to flame.)

SRY - if You are right with Your "E" theory it was my bad - then the cache might be the same..........

That seems only logical in this case. However, I'm quite sure about the numbers just can't remember from where I got it. Let's hope for the sSOI though!
