GOT MY AM2 CPU :)

[arcenite]

as an amd fan I can officialy say I don't care 🙂 unless you have some sort of super-am2 that wipes the floor with the other boring processors, you can keep it op :thumbsdown:

It's going to be tough for AMD. Intel's changing the rules and making dual core the std. Intel can do this since they have multiple 65nm/300mm factories in full swing.

For AMD, dual core requires about 2X the silicon and their capacity is already stretched pretty thin. They are also behind in 65nm technology. Dual core for AMD stresses their capacity and cost structure big time.

metro, as soon as you get a mobo, please im begging you, take a picture of the bios and post it. Im dying to know HTT, multipliers and voltage for these things.

Heh- 65nm Brisbane's still dancing through your mind? Mine too....

AMD sells it's DC chips ata premium because they take up more die space than a single core chip and AMD can make mor eprofit on it, so why shoot itself in the leg until it really needs too. AMD is limite dby its capacity that it can produce about 30000 wafers per month, thus you want to make the most profit per chip

 

[Metr0]

voltage is 1.3 or 1.35v depending on am2 model for x2 4000+ is only 1.3v

mobo has been shipped

Awesome. Looking forward to any info you can give us. What memory are you going to be using with this?

wow- you're going to be one busy man. What memory are you going to run? DDR2 667 or DDR2 800? or even DDR2 533?

hhhmmm....Don't tell me nn_step has been right this whole time....Not that I would mind.🙂

Good luck with the set-up and testing.

ARrrgg...bummer. Oh well, thanks for the reply- hope your mobo makes it to you safe and sound tommorrow.

Well then drop it to 1.6ghz or get the dual core semprons out...

That POS 805 at a pathetic 2.66ghz and 533fsb is getting huge sales showing there is a market for low speed dual cores....

A problem would still be manufacturing costs.

They'll pay the same to make a 3800+ as a '3400+' [1.6].

The process is now mature enough that most likely the majority of chips meet the bottom line. Anything lower, and they're just downbinning chips unnecessarily.

ps - who's ass is that in EdUaRdO65's avatar? :Q 😀

Holy god yes, I don't even know what else was in that link

 

[Metr0]

mobo arrived today to chile but is trapped in customs tomorrow i will rescue her

 

[the Chase]

Good news- the time is getting closer....

 

[Xpage]

i cannot wait for some answers...

 

[gorka]

ask EdUaRdO65 for the motherload....i mean the motherboard.

buenas suerte tio!

[ForumMaster]

:whimper...whimper; :wah!!!; i want one too! where? how much? specs?

 

[the Chase]

So how is the memory tweaking going? Any specs you can give us on the 4000 model? Core, cache, bus speed, etc.
