Hi all,
Not sure if this has been posted or not, just some info on AMDs new naming system for the star family products X2, X4 etc. And more importantly information on the new nforce 7 MCP...
nforce 7...
Nvidia Corporation’s new code-named MCP72 core-logic series will fully support new AMD Phenom processors based on AMD’s new micro-architecture that belong to the “Stars” family of chips. All versions of the MCP72 will support HyperTransport 3.0 processor bus as well as PCI Express 2.0 interconnection, which will be the key-features of the new array of chipsets.
Initially three versions of the new Nvidia nForce 7-series chipsets will be available: MCP72XE, MCP72P, MCP72 Ultra and MCP72V. Mass production of the first two will start in October, according to sources familiar with Nvidia’s plans, the schedule for MCP72 Ultra is undecided, whereas MCP72V will be produced only in 2008, in time for mass production of AMD’s new processors for mainstream and entry-level systems.
Star Family...
With the launch of Advanced Micro Devices Incorporated’s Athlon X2 BE-2350 and 2300 processors on June 5th, AMD will debut its new naming scheme for its product lineup. The new naming scheme designates the first letter as the processor class: G-class processors are designated as premium processors under the Phenom X4 and X2 names, B-class processors are intermediate models and L-class processors carry the AMD Athlon or Sempron names. The second letter in the model designates thermal design power class: P-class processors have TDPs greater than 65-watts; S-class processors have TDPs of approximately 65-watt while E-class processors have less than 65-watt TDPs.
Under the new naming scheme, upcoming Stars-family dual and quad-core processors will carry the AMD Phenom X2 GS-6xxx and Phenom X4 GP-7xxx names. Value-priced AMD Athlon and Sempron processors will carry the Athlon X2 LS-2xxx and Sempron LE-1xxx names. AMD Phenom FX processors will not follow the new class designations; however, AMD is undecided on the model numbers.
Its not very in depth information i no, but still worth a read i guess nvidia are planning on roling this out around the same time as there G90 core?...
