Llano A75MA-G55 Overclocking Bios Update...

[podspi]

You can disable the igpu?

I assume the unlocked Llanos will allow you to clock the CPU and GPU separately. It would be interesting if they have an option to just powergate the IGP off, though. And remove that pesky TDP cap ...

Yes, you can disable the iGPU in the BIOS.

Calculating each successive digit of pi requires knowing the previous digit, so yes.

Then it is not particularly useful for benching a quad core unless you're measuring performance per clock on single core I guess.

I thought that any multipliers greater than 26 were useless and would perform like a 26 multiplier even though they report a higher clock.

Also, 16s in super pi is great compared to ~ 19-21s that (non chinese) OC'ers are getting from X4 631. But $89 vs $139, I guess X4 631 is still the value OC but turns out the theory that they'd OC like crazy because the the GPU was disabled was wrong. The GPU enabled chip OCs better.

Well the X4 631s are basically all quad parts with crap GPUs so their OC ability is not factored into the binning.

x4 631s are llanos with the igpu turned off!

Because GloFo couldn't paint them right.

I was reading over the cpu support list for a gigabyte FM1 board and they mentioned a "Sempron"

AMD Sempron 198 2500MHz 512KBx2 N/A Llano 32nm B0 65W

it's apparently only dual core
similar in core/cache count to an E-350 I suppose, cept it's llano based ...
interesting

It seems like that guy at XtremeSystems seems to have evidence for RTC manipulation on benchmarks over 133mhz.

Can you guys who were messing with this confirm?

It's a thing. Overclocking BCLK beyond 133hz on this mobo is wack with the current BIOS v1.3
