TITAN IRIDIUM - AMD LLANO SYSTEM!

google amd llano there tonnes of reviews up now mate check them out!

Or check out amd llano thread in cpu section for discussion.
 
Exactly how is the cpu being overclocked to 4GHz in this system?

Assuming the base clock is being increased to ~138MHz (rather than the mutiplier being increased) to hit 4GHz, how are you approaching the linked clock issue (SATA / PCI-e and USB all running off of the base clock)?

Does the motherboard in question have the ability to lock the SATA/PCI-e and USB at 100MHz base clock (possibly by multipliers)?
 
This CPU is more the same as Q6600 quad core. Not worth it to be honest. Sandybridge at stock speed 3.5GHz is far better than this CPU (even if overclocked 4GHz) their benchmark is no way beat the sandybridge overall.

So the Q6600 has on-chip GFX now? Come on bulldog you are missing the point here massively.
 
It's not cutting edge processing power, but it's an all in one package for people who would need the simplicity I guess

+1

It is a value proposition, which works out cheaper, has more features out of the box and comes to a lower TDP, hence energy savings/less heat/less noise. SB takes the raw CPU performance crown, but is rather let down in this market segment by Intel's infamous graphics drivers and, frankly, a weaker GPU core.

It would be silly to compare either to q6600 now.

This is what I'm wondering tbh, especially with their clocks 'over 4.5GHz' the base clock would have to be at least 155 MHz.
 
Could you please link to the review you are referring to, bulldog? I could only find 3850 compared to a more recent crop of Intel's chips in Cinebench, but from this score table - http://www.cbscores.com/ - q6600 only scores in the range 1.95-2.7 points; compare this to a8-3850 at stock, which pulls above three points average across all reviews I read so far (roughly 3.4). Is it possible you are looking at some oddbox single threaded run?

I watch the reply to this with intrigue - was tempted to go to the dark side instead of sandybridge - but not at the expense of data corruption and other possible issues.
 
*** UDATE ***

Overclocking Llano with either HT or multi would appear to yeild no performance gains over an 2.9ghz clock which would suggest that the CPU although registering as overclocked and stable simply isnt.

As such, until futher testing has been carried out the "Overclock" will be removed from the system.


Thanks

There's a lesson here for us all, always benchmark before and after overclocking. :D
