AMD SB850 Southbridge to consume 4W

Q4 2009 match with RD890

SB850 is AMD's latest, greatest Southbridge and this chip looks like a big improvement compared to SB750.

The new Southbridge brings A-link with X4 Gen 2, PCIe 4x1 Gen 2 as well as 14+2 USB 2.0 ports. The previous SB750 only had 12+2, which should be enough, but hey more is usually better. SATA gets upgraded to 6x 6Gb/s which is another name for SATA 3.0 and of course RAID 0,1,5 and 10 support is here. It also has integrated clock generation and Gigabit MAC.

The new Southbridge comes in new FCBGA 605 pin package and its TDP is 4.0 W. AMD SB750 has TDP of 4.5 watts and less features. SB850 should launch in Q4 together with RD890.




Phenom II X4 AM2 dies in Q4

Both 940 3GHz and 920 2.8GHz

Phenom II X4 940 and 920 were the first Deneb K10.5 45nm based quad-cores and they both only support DDR2 memory and fit to socket AM2+.


These CPUs will stick around with us until Q4 2009 but AMD has notified its customers that late Q2 2009 will be the last chance to order these CPUs. They will continue to ship them until Q4 2009 and after that date, they will pronounce them dead.

Phenom II X4 940 at 3.0GHz has already got a replacement with Phenom II X4 945 that works at the same clock, fits to both socket AM2+ and AM3 but supports both DDR2 and DDR3. The only bad thing about Phenom II X4 945 is that its not a Black Edition part and it's locked multiplier is impairing overclocking. You can always go and but the Phenom II X4 955 that works at 3.2GHz, has an unlocked multiplier and fits in AM3 and AM2+ boards.

Phenom II X4 920 will get its AM3 replacement called Phenom II X4 925 that will work at the same 2.8GHz speed and have support for DDR3 and AM3 socket.

AMD Demos 48-core Opteron Server

Having recently made its plans with the server market public, AMD demonstrated a 4-socket server featuring four 12-core, next-generation Opteron processors. That's 48 cores in all. The company has pulled its six-core Istanbul Opteron processors' launch from H2 2008 to Q2 2008, and is set to launch its Opteron 6000 series processors based on the "Magny Cours" architecture in 2010.

Processors in the series come with 8 or 12 cores. The company seems to be ready with a few of these, enough to put together a 4-socket demo system. While AMD did not run any benchmarks on the system, it managed to draw some attention due to the fact that there hasn't been so much parallelism in a 4-way server till date. On the course of its 2010 launch, the company may hold more demonstrations, perhaps with benchmarks to show how the platform compares to competing solutions from rival Intel. The "Magny Cours" processor will be the first in line for the company's G34 "Maranello" platform for AMD Opteron 6000 series processors with up to 16 cores, 4 sockets, and quad-channel memory interfaces per socket. The 16-core processor in the making is slated for 2011, is based on the Bulldozer architecture, and will be built on the 32 nm process.




Athlon X2 7750 BE Unlocked to Quad-Core

Earlier this year, a Korean source had pointed out an easy method to enable a fourth core on the Phenom II X3. This was made possible by the way AMD has been designing its triple-core and dual-core processors based on the K10 "Stars" architecture: by disabling one or two cores on the quad-core die. "Sloppy" BIOS coding lead to the Phenom II X3 anomaly. It looks like a somewhat similar mod enables not one, but two cores on the sub-$100 Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition. A Korean technology website GiggleHD.com has reported a successful unlock of two cores.

The method is similar to that of the Phenom II X3 unlock: using flaws in BIOS code to enable cores, by enabling the "Advanced Clock Calibration" feature in the BIOS setup. The OS, Windows XP SP3, was able to see the processor as a "AMD Phenom™ FX-7750", while CPU-Z reads the name string correctly and lists the core count as 4. The motherboard in use is an ASRock A790GX/128M.

I think all processor are suggested to not over 70C on load..Thats the highest..

Lambat lagi nia..Even it is out on June,i still not enough $$
Propus fully out is around October~November i think
So it might dissapoint you

Try finding for 0909 batch for 7750 BE..If not just get 7850BE lor

Mana itu verdict..Itu ultraman..stuck at 3.6Ghz only ah?

Hmm..looks like someone desperate need my mobo
RM450?Getting new PSU ah?Get Corsair TX750(topup RM 50)

Get Corsair TX750..Satisfaction guaranteed..
5 Years warranty Single Rail,same price as Xigmatek 750W..whatelse more?

Make sure timing is right..
Becos i think there is an exam on July too

Haha..Our master looking for proc..
Ask verdict,he has his proc laying..
Its MSI ~.~ hawt!

Try everest..
Or Hardware Monitor i guess..
Nice 4V thou

Looking at your SS..It seems that u are using DDR..
But i dont think DDR voltage is that high..

It is heating !!
Rana in action..(not really just an SS)
..It can unlocked to X4 too?

Haha..
This is my latest screenie..SPI 32M Stable..Prime i forgot to take SS..but mayb u guys can ignore it first..Dont have time to do prime for now..So SPI 32M first
I seems cant pass 260 HTT no matter what..Even i tried to set lower NB Frequency Via Bar Edit..
Any other way?The NB Frequency i increase via Bar Edit becos i cant get past 260 HTT..

Haha..
No change mobo no change proc untill Propus..So i stuck there for few months lor then
