maayo unta pin less na ni hehehe.

9 watts grabeha ui. dugay na ma lobat ang laptop.

ng huwat jud ko ani.

antos lang sako sa amd sempron

[big myk]

Let's hope their new CPUs will put up a nice fight against the i.series... Would certainly love healthy competition!

agreeeee...

AMD FX Zambezi Bulldozer Processor Sneak Peek

AMD FX Zambezi Bulldozer Processor Sneak Peek

It’s time for AMD to shine again. Here we have a sneak preview of the upcoming new AMD Processors. AMD code named their new processors as “Zambezi” which is based on AMD’s latest architecture Bulldozer.
Based on the Box-art of AMD FX Zambezi, you can see that there will be a 4-core and 8-core black edition of these new processors. There will also be a 6 core for these lineup but we haven’t got a box art of it yet.

AMD has decided not to name these new set of processor but instead they decided to call it “FX” processors. These FX processors are the next generation processors of AMD. The pictures you see above are just concept art for the box of the AMD FX 4 Core Black Edition and FX 8 Core Black Edition. They may not be the actual box when AMD will officially release the product to the public.

There will be four types of processor for the AMD FX lineup:
1. FX4110 4 Core processor – this will be their entry level processor
2. FX6110 6 Core Processor – this will be their mid level or mid-range processor
3. FX8110 8 Core Processor – obviously this will be their high end processor
4. FX 8130P 8 Core Processor – this will be much higher than FX8110 (Just like the Phenom II X6′s 1055T and 1090T)

All of these processor will be in Black Edition format. And you know what that means overclockers and enthusiast right? This means multipliers are unlock and can do whatever you want with this processors.

Here is the AMD FX Specification Sheet:
AMD FX-series of Microprocessors Due in 2011
Model FX-8130P FX-8110 FX-6110 FX-4110
Cores 8 8 6 4
L2 Cache 8MB 8MB 6MB 4MB
L3 Cache Up to 8MB Up to 8MB Up to 8MB Up to 8MB
TDP 125W 95W 95W 95W
Memory 1866MHz 1866MHz 1866MHz 1866MHz
Black Edition Yes Yes Yes Yes
Turbo Core Yes Yes Yes Yes
Packaging AM3+ AM3+ AM3+ AM3+
Process Technology 32nm SOI 32nm SOI 32nm SOI 32nm SOI

Based on the specs sheet above, AMD FX processors might prove to be a worthy opponent of Intel’s 2nd generation core series (maybe…). Luckily AMD, decided not to make another platform for these new processors. Most probably a BIOS update will be released to support these new processors like they did when they released the Phenom II X6 processors.

If you are a AMD fanboy, and you are planning to upgrade soon, you might want to wait for AMD FX processors. AMD FX is said to be released by June 2011. So it’s just around the corner. AMD lover’s it’s your time to shine! ^_^


Hopefully this will come not that.... pricey!

but for whatever it's worth..it comes in a very artistic and flashy box

AMD Bulldozer benchmarks. Twice as fast as Intel 980X. | Scarletwhore

An AMD employee released some info on the upcoming Bulldozer CPU. Preliminary benchmarks on an 8 core Bulldozer desktop processor have it trouncing the mighty Intel i7 980X by a whopping 192% in 3D rendering benchmarks. The Orochi design is the company’s next-generation processor for high-end desktop. Rumors have the 8 core chip debuting at 3.4-4.0 GHz. AMD will launch their desktops chips first in an effort to regain market share from Intel. More about the Bulldozer here…

AMD is also planning to revive the enthusiast Multi-Processor platform with a new AMD FX dual socket configuration sporting processors with 4,6,8 and 12 cores.

AMD Orochi design is the company’s next-generation processor for high-end desktop (Zambezi) and server (Valencia) markets. The chip will feature eight processing engines, but since it is based on Bulldozer micro-architecture, those cores will be packed into four modules. Every module which will have two independent integer cores (that will share fetch, decode and L2 functionality) with dedicated schedulers, one “Flex FP” floating point unit with two 128-bit FMAC pipes with one FP scheduler. The chip will have shared L3 cache, new dual-channel DDR3 memory controller and will use HyperTransport 3.1 bus. The Zambezi chips will use new AM3+ form-factor and will require brand new platforms.

Later in 2011 AMD will roll out their Fusion Platform combining general processor execution as well as 3D geometry processing and other functions of modern GPUs into a single package. AMD’s approach to General-purpose computing on graphics processing units or GPGPU will eliminate 90% of the programming workload required for programmers to make use of GPU processing power. nVidias CUDA so far has been a dud but with Fusion the CPU and GPU will be on the same processor, AMD’s implementation of OpenCL through an API will allow programmers to easily offload intensive computational task to the GPU while freeing up CPU power. So far the major 3D packages such as Maya, 3DSMax, and Cinema 4D have not been able to use GPGPU processing to render scenes, however with AMD Fusion rendering of intensive Ray-traced environments will be reduced by a factor of 20 to about 5% of original CPU based rendering times.

More AMD news.

AMD is planning to introduce new flagship six-core and quad-core processors over the coming weeks.

The Thuban portfolio will be expanded by the fastest AMD six-core to date, the 3.3GHz Phenom II X6 1100T. Unsurprisingly, the 1100T has a 125W TDP and with Turbo Core overclocking it will happily run at 3.7GHz, which is quite impressive. Power-conscious consumers will also get something new, the 1065T with a 95W TDP rating. It is clocked at 2.9GHz, or 3.4GHz with Turbo Core.

Interestingly, 1090T prices have come down by around 10 percent in recent days, which might imply that the 1100T is just around the corner and that it will retail under $300.

In addition to the new Thubans, AMD will also introduce the fastest Deneb yet. The Phenom II X4 975 is clocked at 3.6GHz, making it the highest clocked quad-core desktop CPU on the market.


hopefully not Another Mad Deception..

haha deception...

Well it should be faster than the 980X since they are comparing 6 cores vs 8 cores. Imagine AMD needs 2 more cores to be faster, for our gaming needs since most games only use 2-4 cores this means that the Bulldozer is still slower, Though Im rooting for AMD so that Intel will drop their prices!
