day 1 comdex is up :)


Although AMD made FIC shut down the machine, their suite was home of one of the first Small Form Factor PCs running AMD's Hammer processor. The CPU apparently ran quite cool and the system was very low-noise...Compared to the 800MHz CPUs that were floating around at Computex, this CPU ran at 1.4GHz; still shy of the 2GHz mark that we're hoping for.

FIC was also proud to display the fact that they had all four of their Hammer boards working properly at the show, including motherboards based on NVIDIA's Crush K8 chipset (nForce2 for Hammer).

First of all, Springdale will apparently support dual channel DDR400 and not just dual channel DDR333. Also, Intel is strongly considering abandoning the 667MHz FSB in favor of a leap to an 800MHz FSB in preparation for Prescott. Dual channel DDR400 is necessary in order to meet the 6.4GB/s bandwidtrequirements of Prescott's FSB.

The beauty of this design (to be shipping early next year) is that it is FIC's own and it will be shipped in an overclocked state. Apparently ATI has no problem with FIC shipping R300 based cards overclocked from the factory and thus FIC will be doing just that. This may be necessary to compete with the GeForce FX early next year.

FIC is on a roll...
