AMD Bulldozer Finally!

each core at a different frequency? that looks a little odd

EDIT: 1,000th post :D :D :D :D :D

1.4V on such rubbish clocks... BS!

You do realise that image was straight from E3? Theres obviously something amiss with overdrive with the temps, but it looks like the volts are probably right, what makes it so unbelievable its at 1.4v?

The only win in this thread is that it gets most of the crap collected up into one easily ignored link.

And then you post in it... Ignore fail much?

32 nm process at 1.4 V? Intel recommends staying below 1.38 V for their Sandy Bridge chips remember, 1.4 V cannot be stock for Bulldozer.

On Intels architecture and fabrication, have Intel taken over AMD :eek:
Also theres no indication thats at stock volts, maybe they upped them so the cpu wouldnt fall over at idle load on their demo setup in their booth :)

1.4V across all modules would get this chip into boiling temps imho
if I remember correctly the whole idea of modules was to switch them off when unused to save power, hence most likely lower the voltage per module to minimum... and according to the graphs those modules are doing barely anything..

anyway, if AMD mastered this and got 1.4V with 19C temps them we are either going to have veeeery cool CPU or a small radiator for the winter ;)

8 cores at 1.4V all running at 19 degrees :confused: this doesnt seem right :p

Thats because overdrive is doing the same thing it does with Thuban by the looks of it which is odd as BD is meant to use a totally diff sensor (Sideband "SB-TSI"?? or something like that, not 100 percent sure on that though).

Obviously they're not exactly the same fabrication but such a difference in voltage tolerances seems unlikely.

What kind of CPU falls over at idle on stock volts? You're not telling me that 3.2 GHz is overclocked or requires higher than normal voltages - if that were the case, AMD might as well throw in the towel, lol.
 
You guys really should have paid attention at school:

Wattage = Volts x Amps

So how is 1.4V bad? Did you see a reading for current? No. If the top chip is 125W with massively declocked cores when idling at 1.4V, I'm guessing the current drops a long way from load too.

I sometimes wonder what kind of IQs people have ...

If the rumours of early steppings were right then who knows for sure, but thats what the pic snapped off the FX Demo at E3 showed, could it be software mess ups, possibly. Could it be 1.4v stock, dunno Ive not had an 8 core desktop CPU before??
