We had a chance to see AMD's upcoming Phenom processor clocked at impressive 3GHz. We learned that the CPU was not that hot and it was cooled with a standard cooler and at the same time it was not running that hot. We didn't had any sensors but we put our hand on it and felt the heath.

The demo system clearly showed that we are talking about 3GHz Quad core CPU and we were surprised to see Unreal Engine 3 based Stranglehold game to utilize all four cores of the Phenom.

AMD was kind enough to let us picture the system but due to secrecy reasons we were not allowed to use CPU-Z or additional tool as AMD didn't want to show all the details about it.

Sapoz to be heat right !

Sweet looking setup there.

Hey guys, check out this AMD's upcoming quad-core processor Phenom X4 logo, not bad ma.

wow...

phenom still not using 65nm tech right?

any idea when its reaching malaysia?? can an one guest the price?? maybe RM1k++

ADDON: i see the article form that link TS post, they say AM2 can support it, is it true??

According to source PCPOP.com, the AMD so call "the native quad-core processor" coded K10 will launch on 10th September 2007!!!

Here's the pic of AMD K10 Phenom X4 inside core,

It is. Otherwise it would be nuts for AMD to invest in 65nm earlier.

This logo very nice, i like this
But still dunno when this processor release....

*starts saving money*

4X phenom 65 nm proc..have to wait and see its arrival in m'sia.Price also..nice logo also..

aw shucks.. new cpu means new mobo. have to start selling stuff again to get this monster. the question is it , it is better than the intel quad..

amd will get it right on september
but december will be the time for intel penryn plak
adoi adoi adoi
im an AMD fanboy
haha

its hard to choose lar... just bought abit KN9 ultra.. have to sell if really want to upgrade..

current mobo can fully utilise it?
didn't see new mobo around..

i <3 AMD

This 10th sept only Barcelona aka Opteron. The Phenom X4 only january next yr. By this christmas only Phenom X2.

fuyoo, cam gempax plak..
my fren jus wanted to get a pc, now i have to think twice, whether to get an intel, or amd..

september.. hope he can sabaq...

If u can wait for another 3 months then better grab Phenom for new build system, anyway it depends a lot on pricing.

Phenom.........wahhhh can it support AM2 MoBO? I'm drooling already here...............

the new logo really nice la

There is no real need for a new mobo. The current AM2 mobo will fully support the Star processors, minus new features such as split power lanes

hopefully the split power thingy n HT 3.0 not hold/limit much the current mobo.. just can buy new proc.. great..

phenom is for my dual quad system, yey ,, im waiting

This phenom got how many version actually??only diff clockspeed??or got diff in cache??maybe just like c2d which got variety version from diff cache, to diff clockspeed...??

The amount of cores and clockspeed. Each cores have 512kb L2 cache. 2mb shared L3 cache.

got 3 versions..phenom X2, phenom X4 & phenom FX, they all support socket AM2..yeah,i can upgrade

3 version arrrr???? whoaaaa.............cant wait oooorrr, hope phenom X4 the price not more then RM550.

Will Phenom fully supported in socket AM2?

-pWs-

in your dream ,
current quad core price at least rm900+

FX maybe.. wait sometime for AM2..

woah that is interesting...looks like intel qc price will drop even further when amd releases their own qc

i love the new logo, they change to new white arrow instead of the old green arrow XD, well, i'm not not a heavy gamer, if gt X2 version maybe i will choose X2 version of phenom

ya , new phonem logo quite nice , but the 64 quite small

It would be better if the 64 is not even there. The 64 bit hype is long gone already.

when will the AMD x4 realease? thinking wan to get 3600+brisbane or 4800+ brisbane for my new proc..

read my above reply

It's a good news for AMD hardcore fans...like me
Wait for the price drop, upgrade in March/ April 2008

Ops..Sorry. Understood that.
But for the feature that are not supported in AM2, will it differ much in performance and overclockabiliy?

-pWs-

Dont worry, buy proc first then later got extra money buy mobo & ram. then overclock like nobody bussiness or tak ingat dunia.

asus RD780 Board.

Power management might have a hit.

Per-core power settings might not be enabled, but for sure no split power planes (IMC yeah, but for the cores?) and HTT 3.


Just get RD790/780. It's the X38/P35 of AMD, and it still runs freaking cool (judging by the reference design)

Yeah, from FUD-O but it makes sense seeing the CPU supply at launch.

just wonder can AMD regain back thier crown with phenom...

when it will release in market?? the logo become dark n dark...

Would depends on how strong each core performs. Unlike GPU, in general purpose processors more core doesn't necessarily equate to more processing power, especially for applications that doesn't utilizes parallel processing.

Maybe it's naive 4 core architecture might help it in apps that supports up to 4 threads simultaneously against Intel's 2x2 architecture, only if its single core performance is high enough.

So it still goes down to how each core performs.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=41970

Obviously BS. lol.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2835078
That's with some ridiculously high clocked R600s and a 5ghz kentsfield. 3DMark is still GPU biased, so obviously he's just making it up.

AMD bring back the L3 cache
no more Athlon name in the future, except for entry level processor.

Check this out this link, Source: http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/AMD_Phenom...Board/5201.html

Got pics with Cpu-z info for the processor.

http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=434

no use stating how it will compare. show proofs. benchmarks. i really hope AMD doesn't delay it again.

got SSE4.. wait it's SSE4A, name only?

lol.. i know ikanayam wont agree no matter what:P hehe

that info is nothing new. it's just a claim, not a conclusion.

never trust the enquirer. They are just fanboys

This post has been edited by linkinstreet: Aug 29 2007, 12:59 PM

if this proc coming out, athlon 64 gonna drop price XD cant wait, haha

Funnily I can't help but to agree.
2 2900XTs are monsters in 3Mark, but filling 3000-5000 3Marks on the CPU side only? Fishy fishy. (Maybe the link you gave was single card, didn't see CF indication)

Unless it's RD790, which in all cases shows to a very competitive board design, but it just still doesn't have the magnitude to pull off something like this.

actually i trust no one, its just same thing happened when inquirer reveal the first radeon HD 2XXX series benchmark, no one really believe it, they said ATI is slower than nvidia's offering. maybe 95% of stories are true on the inquirer, you wouldn't know.. wait till someone get the real barcelona benchmarks. i know intel fans wont agree on anything that is faster than core 2 moreover if it is from sites like the inquirer hehe

No, 5% of the stories are true. The radeon info they had earlier was one of the few true stories. This one is not true, it's impossible.

Meh, they once predicted microsoft will go bancrupt with Vista (which they decided to call ME II). Funny enough, that article dissappeared after Vista was launched

I'm more interested on Kuma and Agena instead of Barcelona. It is a socket F/F+ processor right? Also there's Agena FX for AM2/AM2+, low-end ones IINM. Others, socket F/F+

Just wait this processor launch. That time there will lots of comparison, benchmark in the Internet.

as long as this can keep the price war on it's peak, Imma happy.

SSE4A is only few instruction of Intel's SSE4 on penryn.

Basically u go for desktop parts of K10 processor which is Agena(quad) or Kuma(dual) . Highest end of Agena FX will use socket F/F+ which is basically for server modified platform for high end desktop.

The Enquirer aren't fanboys... they just love sensation.

Kinda hard to be considered fanboys when you criticise just about everyone under the sun lol. I think they're the own biggest fans. Been following le Inq for a few years now and I love their humourous approach to news. You just have to know which stories to take seriously.

now everybody waiting for phenom benchmark..

that's what i meant. we as normal users should aim for desktop ones but then ppl are talking about Barcelona, Barcelona vs Conroe and so on, which is server type of processor. isn't it suppose to be like Opteron Barcelona vs Xeon?

3DMark06 past 30000 with just 3GHz K10!!? If 5 GHz maybe its true....

Maybe their keyboards had 2 "6"s so they couldn't type out 3DMark 05

You can't know which to take seriously unless you have a combination of a functioning brain and good insider info. So it's quite hard for most people.
