Phenom II info leaks out, AMD hints at something

[Macadamia]

Hello?
You there?
Wai?

[Shintai]

LOL..900 series...

And january ofcourse

And another confirmation of 2 SKUs. AM2+ and AM3. Seems the 800 series chipset will be out in february.

[Sly Fox]

In reference to this first pic, right side.

So AMD is suggesting 4 ghz on air, 4+ ghz on water? If that's true, either this will be great or
AMD is just blatantly lying through their teeth. We'll see.

[spursindonesia]

I'd like to see the pricing policy over these new babies, if they're competitive enough, i might consider going back using AMD platform rather than upgrading to Yorkfield from my current 4.2 GHz Wolfdale + DFI board.

[Hornet331]

well 3ghz top bin was expected, since shanghai ships already at 2.7ghz.

Same 300mhz difference was between barcelona and phenom.

But a slightly lol at the numbering... now we have a CI7 920/940/965 and a P2 X4 910/925/940... come on amd... get more original.

also source link missing...

Not original, but still funny if you ask me
Let the race begin!...., in a few months i mean.

[bedlamite]

Woot Phenom X3 will have one core less and still same ammount of L3 as X4

[BieBiep]

AMD's 940 will probably be priced somewhere around Intels 940, but with the unlocked multi and all that...
they might end up as competitive choice


I can see the confusion on all tech boards now, a940 vs i940 xD


PS: I don't think the overclocking headroom thingie is a scam, since they're being really realistic about the 9950

Just a shame they wont even be close to one another in performance

Seems AMD will have 3Ghz max for quite some time.

And whats the * for with the aircooling OC?

Especially for Superpi.

A bit strange that the Socket AM2+ Deneb 920 (2,8 GHz.) has a TDP of 125 W. and the socket AM3 Deneb 925 (2,8 GHz.) has a TDP of 95 W. Why not do them both at 95 Watt?
I would really love it if the 940 BE can be had for under €200, that should make it a really nice deal compared to how Intel has it's lineup priced currently. Although Intel will probably react accordingly, which only gets AMD in a weaker position and that's why AMD will probably not do it.

Why does it have to be AMD? How bout "come on Intel" get more original!

[foch3 -USA-]

If they perform better than a Yorkie at 4gz than I am buying one.

[Hornet331]

easy:

1) intel already had a 9xx numbering scheme (e.g. PD 940 )
2) intel already released Ci7.

[Donnie27]

Alright 4+GHz overclocking (water), sweet, time to move back to AMD Yes, I believe them.

[Caveman787]

I think if these come out competitively amd will be able to gain marketshare with lower price.

They're trying to corner the market just as the did with 4000 series...can't wait to see the numbers.

[bedlamite]

AFAIK they want to price them very aggresively so i higky doubt that a940 will be more expensive than i7920.
Well it looks like x4 940 will be my new CPU

[STaRGaZeR]

Indeed!

The i7 platform cost is too high, if Deneb finally delivers at 4GHz AMD here I come!

On a side note, everything has to be 9something, and all has to be copied in this world? ...

[v_rr]

The * is explained in the Slide.

It´s Advanced Clock Calibration = 790GX/790FX with SB750.
It also include AMD Overdrive.

Only depends on how P2 hold against yorkfield.

If its slower c/c then theres no reason to switch, epseical when most of those who are interested already own a 775 platform.
Just Pop in a cheap Q9550 and go to 3,8ghz. High FSB is no miracle anymore with P45 and E0.

If your on a old platform then S939/AM2/775 not 45nm compatible P2 looks good. But also depends on the price, but looking at the past i think amd will grab this one.

If the are equal c/c it still depends on what you own already.

[CCUABIDExORxDIE]

what else do you thinks its for. its so they aren't guarenteeing overclocks. i have never seen intel put any sort of "this is how high these processors could overclock" graphs out and if they did, you can sure bet that they'd have the * too.

[RVWinkle]

Wow a 790 board, DDR2, and that 940 chip is looking pretty good for the budget overclocker.

AMD has turned it into a race again, Jan 8th unlocked Phenom II .... coming to my motherboard soon

Platform? I'd wait for the Newest to wear off of X58. Get real here, the World's economy will bring down prices.

I really hope AMD can pull it off. If they can, I'd try to think more realistic about the prices. Some one at AMD will do tests we'd never see and price them accordingly. Performance wise? If it falls anywhere near i7-940 get ready for an similar price. Anyone thinking it will be priced below the $320 a VAR offered to me (pre-order) for an i7-920 needs their head examined

My only concern is NOT the same name or number, but where it falls performance wise. I don't want to see an A-925 X4 running slower than the i7-920 for example, while costing more. More expensive platform or not.

looking forward to that, btw. when does you Ci7 arives. (if you have one ordered)
