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.

But what to do..(considered spamming )
Result ujian ok la..
..No proc to play edy..need wait AM3 season to come

Is there any Kuma database need to be updated?If yes,i will make one

Lol..
I will pick 4MB anytime ~.~
Unless its X3 vs X4 its diff case
bro pWs just tukar itu Q9300 la..tukar into Phenom II 955

Xixo..Kena sabar..Best combo Propus + RD880
Tunggu sampai September/October..Baru syok overclocking

Verdict sudah tua kah?
I school@Afternoon la
Kalo pagi..tunggu next year..
Even if i school@morning tis year,i will bath 1st before i head to here

Ini verdict kaya..Kena belanja all Propus la camni

Lets just wait and see..who will grab these Propus beasts..
I sense cdlim

Haha..
I sense RM 400 for an X4 Chip

I dont think Athlon X4 will reach above RM 400..becos mostly ppl will grab Phenom II le..I guess

Well of course after we got final overclocking we will stop it untill we got a new chip to play with
Credit card later hutang..

Better save ur $$ to buy A$u$ mobo..but not now..when High End RS890 out
More worth..

780 G + is RD880..
RD 890 i think replacement for 790FX..something like that..Whatever the chipset name is,as long it is an upgrade from 790FX,better wait..becos maybe when it come out..the price will be like current A$u$ High End AM3

Haha..
Anyway..Phenom II X6?
The delay for Athlon II is quite good ..Still have time to kumpul $$
