WAH LAO~~~~~~!!!!
4000MHZ HT !!!!!

HTT3.0 @ 4 GHz?
what's the point to push it so high?

4000HT but it's actually shows 2000 in CPU-Z (correct me if I'm wrong)

Maybe it is x2 ??

wow, seems very promising... hopefully the price is very attractive...

let's all hope for the best, amd needs to fight back to improve their profits and cut their loses

when will the true date phenom will come????

W...the Fak 4000 MHz Busssssssssssssssssssss
hopefully it wouldnt be exp XD

Hmm... Agena X2 has a real chance of stealing the new consumer crown.
*Should* be better performing clock by clock (As I suspected), and it even reaches 2.8Ghz at first stepping. Nice...


X4 is not shabby at all. Thermal ratings for 2-2.2 should be wee bit higher than 65W, and 2.4 shouldn't jump to extremely close to 89 yet.

It's a good news for an AMD fan like me
I hope the pricing won't be too steep.

hope it will not be another paper tiger like HD2900s

last time with 2000 HT it beat pentium D

and now 4000HT, AMD might think can over take C2D as C2D is almost 2x faster than PD

what does hypertransport got anything to do in processor's performance? No matter how fast can it go, it will stil limited by DDR2/3 bandwidth.

i do support AMD...sm how i hope the price is not too low or too high
if AMD lose this match i think its gonna b a big problem for them

It doesn't work that way. Even 1st generation HTT of 1000Mhz is already too much as reviews showed that a HTT of 200-400Mhz is more that enough for everyday gaming/usage.

IIRC, even Intels new FSB 1333Mhz is in preparation for quad core computation. I don't think the new HT3 of 4000Mhz will lead to any real world benefit as a HTT of 1000Mhz is not even fully utilized!

AMD comeback!! though the actual date not given. pray they dont delay it to next year!!!

that true for now... but we dont know the main purpose they increase the HT.... cos computation basically did in procesor and seldom at memory....thus 4000HT wont benefit at all..but how if they implement the 4000HT as a link between the core and the data might transfer faster between 2 core and compute data ... that just my guessing...the real 4000HT still haven tested....

Pls note the phrase "for everyday gaming/usage". AMD's main purpose for HT3 is for SMP/multi-core processing. Here's a link for more info (the part on HT3): http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2768&p=3

AMD always had the knack of letting Intel get passed them and winning all the praises. AMD would then bounce back extremely strong. The AMD Phenom is targeted at gamers, a large portion of computer consumers that usually have to ride on the advanced features that processor manufacturers develop whether games can take advantage or not. I am not surprised that this processor could be the one that will win the heart of gamers worldwide and become the No.1 choice for sometime.
