During an event by AMD held at its facility in Austin, Texas, the engineers took an engineering sample of the unrealeased Deneb core based Phenom II X4, installed a copper-pot for liquid nitrogen cooling, and dropped the operational temperature to -185 °C. They then jacked up the vCore to 1.90V, to facilitate a clock speed of over 6.00 GHz!

At this point the exact frequency isn't known. Cameras weren't allowed at the event, and so no clear pictures were taken. Earlier the company had released slides to its channel contacts, telling that Phenom II would overclock very well, and 24x7 overclocks beyond 3.60 GHz on air didn't sound unreal. At the same event, AMD showcased Deneb chips doing 4.00 GHz with air-cooling (with vCore set at 1.6V).

Finally! AMD catches up with Intel~

but the vcore is a wow....
1.6v for 4.0ghz and 1.9v for 6.0ghz...

Yeah..indeedly..but Core i7 was about the same
4.0Ghz 1.5V..Depends on batch,some even 4Ghz 1.35V../1.4V
But lets not make any further speculation and prediction untill its released.I dont think it will compete Core i7,neither you guys will think it.

Wow...a gree with you dude...lets not make any further speculation and prediction untill its released...

Even though im a AMD fan boys,i will always belive that AMD will make a delay investigation on this...

AMD = Always Makes Delay...

on releasing their Processor's...

Always Makes Delay hahaha i agree this ..

Lol...ha ha ha...

New Info guys...

AMD has confirmed that the CPU that we knew under codename Deneb is going to be branded as Phenom II. This confirms our original reports and the message behind the Roman number II is that the company fixed stuff and moved on from the original Phenom issues.

The new core doesn’t have overclocking problem, doesn’t have TLB or any other cache related bug and it looks quite healthy and therefore deserves Phenom II brand.


The new CPU has 4x512KB L2 cache, 6MB of shared L3 cache and it should be available early next year just as we suggested in our earlier reports.

We also found out that AM3 version of the same CPU will be branded as Phenom II but the number after the brand will be different. AM3 Phenom II comes a bit later and the first Phenom II to launch are AM2+ only.

AMD 45nm Three-core comes in 1H 2009

AMD has confirmed that 45nm Three core codenamed Heca will come in first half of 2009 and according to some information we gathered from our industry sources we learned that three core 45nm should be available already in February.

AMD didn’t want to talk about the specifics of this CPU but we know that this three core is a quad core with one core disabled with total 7.5MB cache or 3x512KB L2 cache and 6MB L3.

AMD wants to fight Intel dual core dominance with its Three cores as it believes that marketing will buy a simply though that three is better than two.

from the title,

mati2 i tot malaysian create that record...

waiting to see AMD OCer on LN2...

its all about power/clock ratio you compare intel dual core and phenom processing power at those clocks... you can see older processors clocking 7ghz or more but it still suck due to the architecture inside and manufacturing tech of that time compared to now... but considering AMD's pricetag it is worth the money for those low end overclockers..

So basically these new lines are made to compete with Core 2 Duos & Core 2 Quads?

i think should be Core 2 Duos ...

Urmm...i think AMD made it to compete with Core 2 Duos only as mentioned by them...

But then again Intel could just go all out and say "4 cores are better than 3" :3
and I am still waiting for my AMD Sexcore

This Deneb has no intention at all to fight with Core i7.Deneb is aim to attack Yorkfield and Wolfdale..

Can AMD Secret Weapon counter the Intel machinery Yorkfield and Wolfdale ???

Let us wait for the moment to come truth...

May the force be with you AMD...

The Dark Side Era Will be raise again...

1.56vcore?

i wonder hows the temperature...................

it dat OC done wit stock fan?

Indeedly,but the VCore compared to i7 was actually quite near..Core i7 around 1.4xV.Do take note,AMD processor tends to need more VCore rather than Intel.Anyway IINM..people said the stock VCore is 1.3V..IINM..Hopefully not

i don't think the phenon II can win Core i7 because of the high Vcore
