yaa,i forget to put "etc". Folding@home is very

If cheap,then there is no block. Btw,AMD always cheaper then *****..
So,i think all ppl can afford it.

Those boards are still a prototype when it debuted during the live event so it could just be a physical mock up of the board but not a working prototype. For a Z68 board to have PCI-E 3.0 makes not much sense since there are only 16 lanes coming from the CPU and split in configuration of x16 and x8x8.

Actually I think Intel does not have much of problem implementing it is just that if they are not 100% sure that it will definitely work then there is no point releasing it since it could be hardware dependent and firmware updates will not fix the problem in the future. It is all rumor and speculation at this moment and nobody is 100% sure what is going on behind closed doors.

I am guessing that Intel is playing it safe since the Cougar Point chipset bug and they wouldn't mind delaying a few months to make sure that their products work. Quad channel memory I think exists on server boards for quite some time already and it is now moving downwards to the consumer level products.

ic...
Thx for the clarification.
quad channel are going to put a lot of challenges to those designer to put their heatsink where they use too.
bulldozer, SB-E and IB what a interesting year a head.

lol.... folding again

well, currently i'm looking at asus's m5a series mobo. still waiting for more models to come

haha, yes, i m addicted.
haha, currently folding@malaysia team is getting less and less active folder.
and other teams are going to overtake our team soon.

AMD Bulldozer 8-Core Processor September Launch


UPDATE : Details of FX-4100 & FX-6100 series

Highlights :
10 cores flagship? (Rendering machine?)
Piledriver Architecture(Improved Bulldozer, most likely)
TurboCore 3.0 (Ultra dynamic clock speed? )
FM2 (Hope it can support FM1 processors)
Hudson D4 FCH Southbridge (4xUSB3.0 + 8xSATA3.0)
Trinity APU. (Piledriver architecture)
Wichita APU (Quad Core low power APU )

10 cores... that crazy mang..
awaiting intel to counter it..
8core/16thread...

Software developer gonna hate this rapid core increase pace hehe, just getting the multi-treading support alone is already tricky, now they have deal with 10 cores.

its may be fake


look at the red circle. bad photoshop?
lets compare to an official roadmap from amd


i dont buy this, amd is risking their business if this news is true. people wont buy llano and bulldozer because future socket wont support them. just my opinion

As long as software developers are paid I'm sure they would have to develop it as there are markets for this kind of stuff. Intel is also developing their MIC to counter GPU parallel compute offered by AMD and Nvidia. Not much practical use for the normal user but for HPC, it can make quite a difference in terms of processing throughput. The only problem now is that many claimed that Intel MIC might not be suitable.

This is not true.
Intel has been consistently changing the socket.
Look at the market share of Intel, it gives you an honest answer, it is not an issue.

Let the performance of the product speak for itself.

What's the point of delivering a quad core product while it's slower than the dual-core processor of competitors?
What's the point of delivering a 5GHz processor while the competitor's 1.8GHz is faster in performance?

so many changes or differents
previously leaked Trinity will feature Bulldozer cores but now this Zol.com.cn version show is not feature Bulldozer cores. can't believe that AMD really plan jump from FM1 to FM2 so fast? Anyway, 2012 is still far away, and many things can change. Lynx CPU performance already no go as not much improvement. Hopefully by next year, AMD really bring more improved Trinity, and if featuring Bulldozer cores will be great.

Well not sure if u are aware or not, our single threaded or each core performance hasnt been improving much since the introduction of dual core CPU.

Just for that alone i will probably much prefer Intel since their their performance for each core is faster.

Tricky? even Audio player like foobar2000 and iTunes are support multithreaded processing, eg audio transcoding,
Web browser like Chrome also support multithread, where got tricky?

Btw 10 cores stuff is not a new thing iirc, arent our beloved nvidia and AMD graphic card multicore by default?
but x86 CPU is quite complex is prolly why our cpu still have less cores than GPU.

Seems like they annouced the launch date of FX series processors..

http://www.techpowerup.com/149632/19-Septe...Processors.html

i dont get it,
are they meaning that FX-8150 wont be lauched and displaced by FX-8170? and so like the FX-8100, FX-6120 and FX-4120 will be replaced by they respected replacer?

nevermind, i get it... the text has stated 'in the first quarter of 2012'
my bad...

Perhaps I suggest u should take a read on the scheduling thing on x86 multi-core b4 u ask silly question like this. Multi core on x86 vs GPU is quite different. You can take a new generation GPU with thousands of cores/stream processor and run on an old game on all cores without a patch, but u wont get an old single threaded software use all ur new 6core/12thread CPU.

The reason why CPU manufacturer going multicore is because they are hitting the wall on GHz race. Software company have to rewrite codes differently for every new "more cores" CPU comes out. While they do not like todo this, but it is inevitable.

AMD Expects Next-Gen Chip to Cut Power Consumption by Half.
AMD's Trinity Set to Consume 17.5W - Company
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display...on_by_Half.html

AMD FX-8150P = USD269
USD269 = RM795

thats like telling me I will butthurt now if I buy E350.
