Bulldozer screens/info (pcinlife)

[flexcore]

They got some possible screens of CPU-Z shot and also processor info.

What you guys think? legit?

Blah ....

 

[IntelUser2000]

I've listed their frequencies and Turbo:

2400: 3.3
2600: 3.5/3.6
2700: 3.4
2800: 3.6/3.7/3.8
2900: 3.8
3000: 3.6/3.9/4.0
3100: 4.1
3200: 3.7

So the ones with multiple Turbo numbers probably indicate different frequencies for different amount of cores enabled.

I wonder why that person has 16gb of ram but is using a 32 bit OS which only allows 2.99gb usable.

I was wondering the exact same thing.

If you look Windows is not activated. I guess he just got hold of whatever he was able to find and took some screenshots. Seems legit but who knows.

Why does a lower model turbo higher...? But besides that everything looks believable.

 

[RyanGreener]

Those look like some high frequencies. Can't wait for Bulldozer to come out if that's true.

 

[dma0991]

The base frequency looks pretty low but the turbo is pretty high. I was expecting a minimum base of 3Ghz and above. I am 50/50 on whether this is legit or not.

I remember seeing some supposed benchmarks of them being at 1.8 GHz, which would be terrible, so I'm glad they're above it.

If I recall correctly that 1.8Ghz part is a 16 core Bulldozer. Using crude mathematics and their TDP, a 8 core Bulldozer should be 3.6Ghz?

 

[Rezist]

I see they have models according to that without any L3 cache, I wonder if they will then be replacing the Athlon II lines with a Athlon III line that's BD based, I kinda just expected them to shrink the Athlon II's to 32nm whenever they got around to it and they kept up with BD shipments. Or it could be to get better yields and use those otherwise no good dies.

those were server parts. always clocked much lower.

Llano and Trinity.

 

[Rezist]

Yes but Llano is Phenom II or K10.5 as people have called it before, they are not BD cores, I'm pretty sure they will have L3 cache as well.

Llano's CPU is die shrunk Athlon II(No L3).. Trinity is their next generation of APU.. based on BD cores.. instead of STARS.

 

[Arkadrel]

4.1ghz with turbo, for topend for bulldozer.... not bad.

Im guessing with process maturity ect, it ll go up abit higher with time as they release newer models.
Still haveing 4.1ghz out of the box, doesnt seem so bad.

 

[MarkLuvsCS]

Frequency doesn't seem bad at all especially considering the pretty high turbo. Might mean we can see some 4.5-5ghz OCs on those. I think it's going to be interesting to see pricing. Oh well a few more months will tell us everything .

 

[drizek]

Damn, thats a lot of instructions.

Also, a lot of voltage for a 2.7ghz chip at over 1.4v.

 

[busydude]

I don't think that is accurate. Also, if you look at the bottom.. you will see number of cores as 1. CPU-Z needs some fixing I guess.

Completely different processor naming scheme than I've seen elsewhere!

 

[nenforcer]

Why do only 6 cores show up in CPUZ? Is there suppose to be a 6 core version of BD? I thought it was initially an 8 and a 4?

 

[Soleron]

If these are samples, they are TESTING a range of frequencies to see if they are viable for retail. Likely they won't choose the top one listed (4.1GHz) as the actual top bin. I'm expecting about the middle of that list.

Still great for a new architecture on a new process.

Now we know Intel's cheapest 6-core SB is $500+, AMD could easily price an 8-core, 3.5GHz, greater-IPC-than-Phenom-II Bulldozer CPU at $400 and make a huge profit. It just has to be faster than quad-core SB, not hard.

Yes, it is a 6-core. 8-core with 2 cores disabled.

Those are not consumer product names. those are the names for the engineering samples.
