Phenom II Info - Deneb Planned Jan 08, Unlocked

Speaks truth.

Im hoping these match the new i7 range, but at a much lower cost.

yea right. if thats the case then every single review site is a intel fanboy. Intel got the cpu market under control;. i see nothing special on these chips. prove me wrong though as i want competition but i just dont see this being any better then a core 2 let alone a i7
 
They look might impressive figures, would be awesome for AMD to be back out on top :D

This will come in cheaper than i7, so this should do very well, assuming there aren't any problems like the early Phenoms.

Its still under Jan 8th on your list mate :confused:
 
Some overclocking results here:

4ghz on air cooling at 1.55vcore

Just over 4ghz with liquid cooling at 1.6vcore

4.5ghz using phase change at 1.7vcore

And breaking 6ghz barrier with liquid nitrogen!!!

Very impressive but the vcore used seems pretty high.
 
So what Ram will the x2 940 use? If it DDR2 i might retire my q6600 and go for one of these. Always wanted an AMD.

Are they AM2 socket still? Or will they require a new line of mobos.

looking at the slide it suggests they support ddr2 and 3

AM2+ & they do use DDR2.
 
6+ ghz on LN2, thats insane. AMD's SOI process has always hated the cold but this is insane, doesnt look to be a dumb shrink at all but a fundamental shift of materials to get this jump from 3.6ghzish max to 6+.
 
Maybe its for the better using DDR2 for now, DDR2 is just dirt cheap tbh may even try and go for 4x2gig 8500 stix and 100 quid cant get better then that !

Id like this rigg for Jan 09 and then upgrade to 5870 :) that should last a bit
 
DDR2, works for me, I'm a fan of what I've got. If Asus don't get a Deneb compatible bios out for my mobo soon after release harsh words will be muttered.
 
AMD Austin Tech Day - Information from the inside

Hey peeps!

I quite literally just got back to the hotel from AMD's Austin campus after a day with some rather interesting information being disclosed and freely discussed.

Unfortunately, the level of free discussion outside of the room is heavily covered by NDA so I'm unable to announce specific details. But this is what I can say...

The new platform from AMD will be called 'Dragon' and will be focused around the new 'Phenom II' processors, 4800-series Radeon graphics cards and 7-series chipset based motherboards.

Here are some general performance observations that I can disclose:

Phenom II and the Dragon platform can overclock to 4GHz on air - we were demonstrated a system @ 3.9GHz using stock bus frequency and HT link frequency and a multiplier set at 19.5x. This was done with 1.55v BIOS set. This system was looping endlessly through a Crysis time demo without issue; by the end of the day it was past 100 loops.

The platform core specifications demonstrated were as follows:

Phenom II processor
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H motherboard
Radeon HD4870X2 graphics
OCZ Reaper memory

While the unit demonstrated was @ 3.9GHz, we later had a hands on benching period with the new platform and I was able to quite easily reach this stated 4GHz frequency.

This same platform also exceeded 5GHz on liquid nitrogen cooling. But what was perhaps the coolest (no pun intended) specific of this demonstration was the processor operating and even cold booting at -196 degrees Celsius - that's right, AMD has no cold bugs of any kind, at all for Phenom II!

During this LN2 session the system was demonstrated operating in excess of 5GHz and running 1.95v BIOS set (1.936v CPU-Z read in Windows) and as stated, at the maximum lowest temps available with liquid nitrogen - time to find a liquid helium supplier peeps!

I'm gagged by the NDA on any further information and specifications such as model numbers, product features + specs, stock clock frequencies or even specific overclocked frequencies (i.e. LN2 max) as well as pricing, competitive performance or bench scores. So please, don't even bother asking me these questions as I cannot and will not answer these questions - at least until the NDA drops.

What I wanted to do with this post is at least let you all know that there is hope still for AMD and that while I've harped on about the LN2 experience, the overclocking ability is solid for LN2, phase, water and air cooling methods.

Cheers guys

And some pics http://www.legitreviews.com/article/836/1/
It’s no secret that this processor is built using the 45nm process, and while AMD was shrinking the die they took things apart and made it more efficient and improved how fast the core can be run up to. AMD had a display set up for the media that showed overclocking performance that included air cooling, TEC/Water Cooling, Phase Change Cooling, and lastly liquid nitrogen cooling for the top end. The overclocking performance ranged from just under 4GHz to well over 5GHz on the LN2 system pictured below. AMD Phenom processors were sensitive to temperature changes and once you got sub-zero they often had negative scaling when it came to overclocking. To be more specific, most Phenom processors hit a wall at -20C, but with Phenom II this wall has been removed. AMD showed us that the temperature bug is long gone by running an AMD Phenom II X4 processor at 1.95V and at below -190C. Not bad for the Phenom II X4 processor as it was a C2-H stepping, which is one stepping before what will be on the retail chips that launch in January.

Austin 2008: Close to 4GHz


We've head a chance to see Deneb, 45nm K10.5 with 6MB L3 cache and we can confirm that this CPU overclocks well. We've seen close to 4GHz overclocked part with AMD stock cooler on air and if you use water you will get over that milestone.

With LN2 you will get even higher than 5GHz and it will run stable in any of these circumstances.

We will get you more details soon, but I've just wanted to share with you guys that Deneb exists and a few people could see and play with it at the Austin, Texas Lone star campus. Stay tuned for more.

I'm getting really really excited about this, a good amount of cache, going to quad-core and a lot higher clock for me will be awesome, especially when it's at lower prices than what i've been paying for rigs lately.
