I want that 65nm AMD processor to OC to 5Ghz!

heh who even knows maybe we'll end up with something like when intel moved to 90nm :p space heaters.
Hopefuly not though :)

I think the 40% number cant be interpreted like that. Im guessing another 400mhz if were lucky.

unless you have DICE or Ln2 or phase change or something.

65nm process starting on AMD fab 30

If they start putting AMD 64 based chips on it, maybe we can OC to 5 Ghz!


They will be extremely fortunate if K8 cores did 4GHz at 65nm; remember, it's only a 12/17 stage split pipeline;

for K8L, then maybe a little higher, if they add a couple of more stages.

So far, 90nm is producing 3.0Ghz Opterons (256 and 856 released this week) which are actually 600Mhz faster than the best 130nm could do (a64 3700).

So, hopefully, 4GHz on air is not out of the question for those in this forum with 65nm and 3rd generation SOI. Of course, that may not matter if I can build a 3.3+ GHz conroe for less.

if any1 can get 5Ghz, even conroe will get creamed ... heard that thing top out like 3.5 ... but runs like a 4.5 AMD64 ...

Your Remembering wrong there were Athlon FX 55 2.6GHZ/1MB on 130nm SOI with Strained Silicon.

5GHz sounds conceivable for overclocking if the CPU architecture can take it, it may not without a lenghtening of the pipeline.

I'd expect official 3.6-4GHz parts, but only if Embedded SiGe is around 10-20% better than dual-stress liners by themselves.
