Here check the new AMD processors and their a bit wierd but new style of naming.
*en.expreview.com/2008/09/22/amd-45nm-cpu-naming-scheme-changed/


SO we see DDR3-1333MHz memory support WOW! And there's 3GHz procc too.
I've had news that the 2.4 or 2.6GHz goes to 4GHz!


Look at the 2nd procc from the top, that shud be selling Q408, that means nxt month or nxt to nxt month at the latest, but this one's only got ddr2 memory support. guess they are still testing the ddr3 ones, they've sent it to a secret lab in TAIWAN for testing.

Here read that too:

Cool.. I can't wait to see how they perform:)
HT3.0 sounds interesting.

No worries, Nehalem will annhilate them in terms of performance. But if strategically priced, then these might affect the upcoming Intel lineup quite seriously, just like the 4870 and the 4870X2 chewed up GreenGoblin's butt real bad.

I admire AMD, but facing facts as they are, their proccy department sucks big time compared to Intel. There is no comparison.

8MB of cache, impressive, 3GHz is the speed, there's reports of 4GHz hitting easy, and those were just engineering samples(stock cooling).

Nehalem hits 4-4.5GHz from base to extreme model. Now that's a sweet thing. AMD's completed procc.s if hits 4.5GHz, and wham, no matter AMD doesn't seize the UBER High End procc stats, but all budget and performance i.e. VFM will go to AMD, yessssss..

Yuck. First Core i7 and now 5-digit naming. what is this world comming to ? :cry:

Competition in Proccy = Low Prices.....:D

If both Nehalam and AMD's new proccy arrives, sure i get at least a E8600 and a QX9550 if possible(if priced at 7k....:D:D:D)....

Dissapointing results, although prices are sweet....

i will wait for the prices to fall ... am not in for fastest thing, so naturally next update from x2 3600 is going to be "amd" again.
that proc is really running well for me, doing my jobs...no probs at all.

People are underestimating Deneb especially Nehalem engineers, I hope they turn out to be wrong :)
comp@ddict
Sep 28, 2008 at 1:32 PM
No, even AMD knows that Deneb is not competing with the iCore7 extreme CPU, but the other two(2.66GHz and 2.93GHz variants).

And AMD has it's goal fixed, by Q3 2009, they have promised to beat Intel....

wait a sec, if deneb 2.6 can do 4, and core i7 2.66 can also do 4, we must be in for a jackpot - we can safely buy cpus seeing their default clocks since oc potential is same.
comp@ddict
Sep 29, 2008 at 2:46 PM
And Nehalem last release is doing 2.66Ghz. It's set for production. AMD's is still an engineering sample, wich means more improvements.

AND SEE THIS, affordable quad-core propous for us soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New latest NEWS:::


1. Hmm, Impressive lower power consumption in their line-up isn't it.

Well, here's news about AMD graphics card, BUT MOBILE GFX, finally.

*www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9747&Itemid=1

Here's the test rig, see that SMALL but POWERFUL baby there?
*www.guru3d.com/news/amd-shows-mobility-radeon-hd-4000-chip/

===============================================

2. Here's good news finally, AMD has captured massive shares of the market in the U.S., everyone is wanting 48xx and even adapted immediately to 46xx due to low price- high performance.
Hmm smthing else to cheer for the AMD fans eh:

*www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9741&Itemid=1

===============================================

3. Here's a big let down. AM3 and 790FX will be there by Q1 2009, but they will be darn costly, and will only enter the manistream market later.

*www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9740&Itemid=1

===============================================

4. Last but not the least, something to cheer for the existing AMD BOARD OWNERS with AM2+ SOCKET.

45nm Denebs shud be working on them, so existing AMD users and fans won't need a complete upgrade to use Denebs, unlike Nehalem, usme toh sab kuch costly aur naya lagaana padega

The fact that AM2+ socket supports Deneb was revealed by AMD AT THE TIME OF AM2+ LAUNCH. Thats one of the main reasons almost NOBODY buys those once popular 690G motherboards.

The stratagy is simple - Deneb is going to sport both DDR2 and DDR3 controllers on the CPU die. This means that DDR2 remains mainsteram for a little longer and people with existing AMD rigs can get a sweet upgrade. And since the cheapest price for AM2+ motherboards in India is Rs. 3,400 and abroad its 69$, while DDR2 800MHz RAM costs Rs. 700/GB in India and 15$ abroad, people can get a sweet deal with 300$ denebs, when compared to Nehalem whose motherboard itself costs 300-400$ and RAM costs 30$.

While this means AMD retains its post as an UBER budget friendly VFM company, it also has safeguards - CPUs older than Denebs DONT fit in AM3 motherboards, effectively ensuring that AMD makes merry when it sells the 8xx series boards, as people will be forced to buy only CPUs costing over 250-300$ and not the older 60$ cheap athlons.

^^^ The story will remain the same; just roles exchanged. Wel'll then be sympathising Intel and blaming AMD for monopoly and high price. :p

GPU - OK.
CPU - not so sure.

seriously guys, the day intel ditched netburst was the day amd stopped pwning intel and the boards reversed.

AMD, to survive, needs a brand new architecture designed from the scratch if they want to make a mark like they did with RV770.
comp@ddict
Oct 4, 2008 at 9:39 PM
well, they were desperate for gfx break, and tada RV 770, hope tht comes true wid their proccs in the near or distant future
MetalheadGautham
Oct 4, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Know what ? RV770 was completely redone from scratch.

But Phenom is an athlon derivative and Deneb is a phenom derivative.

Core2 and Nehalem are totally new architectures compared to NetBurst.

That doesn't prove that Intel's architecture is superior and btw AMD has a lotta time to improve

No, it does NOT prove that Intel's architecture is superior because at the end of the day, cost vs performance matters the most.

BUT, Nehalem is waaay ahead of Deneb technically speaking since . Meaning, if Intel finds a way to make Nehalem cheap, AMD is going to get PWNED.

How many of you are even sure that the CPUs really overclock that brilliantly as said ? Most of the time, the facts may be double the actual mark. Remember reviews that HD4870 could beat 9800GX2 when it was in its early days of discussion ? Well, it came close, but nowhere near beating.

Well, INTEL won't be trying to find a way so long as ppl r gonna buy the better performing nehalem proccs

Actually the phenoms TLB error was one of the minus for AMD ------> As u think the INTELs very best pentium 4 was drastically beaten by the AMD athlon

for their glory days will come around 2009 .. AMD is going to launch two kind of proc

Guess what, the AMD proccs I mean the Phenom brand, it might change a.k.a rebranded. Read this:
