the phenoms are not able to go far when o'ced through through fsb only multiplier are able to take it to higher numbers....from that wht i can presume is that procy's with unclocked multiplier only show potential..

FSB on phenoms?
generally its better with multi's but phenoms can oc well with bus speed too.
but since you get black edition proccys for about the same price as the intel counterparts with locked multis its no problem.
 
In these tables Phenom II 940 3800 OC means its has been overclocked from x15 multiplier to x19.
the temp of the CPU was low (avg. 50) with ZALMAN 9700NT fan.
at last you shhould know that we have Mainboard problems!
the best overclocked figure of this CPU is with SB750 South Birdge but because this CPU do not have bios support from any MainBoard corps,
we could'nt overclock it as maximum as it can support!
But the CPU was stable at 4200MHZ with ZALMAN 9700NT fan, unfortunately we could'nt install any OS with the mainboard Biostar Tforce TA790GX A2
and these benchmark that we attached was taken with M3A32-MVP Deluxe in GameWare Labs
we try to overclock this CPU using Biostar, Jetway, DFI to have SB750 South Bridge but each of them have various problems. (most of them had bios problem)

NDA broken... Yorkfield in sight... AMD is back :hap2:

As we can see from the benchmarks, the AMD Phenom II X4 940 seems like a pretty OK processor for pairing up with the ASRock AOD790GX/128M mainboard. In terms of cost/performance ratio, it is definitely more worth your penny than getting a Core i7 which is faster. In fact, the QX9770 compared is not widely available and cost a bomb.

The AMD Phenom II X4 overclocks by 26% which is a 800MHz from the default 3GHz on AIR COOL. It is reported that this processor can do 6GHz under LN2. Of course, that remains a not practical solution as no one will want to place a LN2 tank at home and run the system for 1 hr per tank other than competing for world records.

In conclusion, this processor should be able to take good advantage of the ASRock AOD790GX/128M as this board opens a lot more opportunities than just using the embedded graphics. You can use Hybrid or even run a proper CrossFire solution on it with 2 ATI cards.

45W Athlon X4 quad comes in Q2



Middle of it

If you are after an AMD quad core that will fit the 45W thermal envelope, we have some good news for you. In early Q2 the company will launch the Athlon X4 605e at 2.5GHz with 2MB cache that will fit the 65W TDP. This CPU is based on Propus, K10.5 without L3 cache and of course in AM3.

By the middle of Q2 2009 AMD will launch another Athlon X4 branded 6xxe, and this CPU will run somewhere between 2.1Ghz and 2.4GHz and it will be based on the same Propus core. This will be the first 45W quad core and many will go after it. There is a good chance that this one might be a good overclockers, but traditionally 45W CPUs are much cooler than the 65W+ ones.

A 45W TDP is usually a virtue of dual cores and in January, Intel will introduce its 45W quad cores, as it looks that there is a market for such products.

AMD Phenom II X4 (AM2+) Pricing revealed!

* AMD Phenomâ„¢ II X4 920 2.80GHz will be priced at $230 USD (MSRP) [AM2+ CPU]

* AMD Phenomâ„¢ II X4 940 3.00GHz Black Edition will be priced at $280 USD (MSRP) [AM2+ CPU]

X4 2.80GHz 920 is slightly faster than Intel's 2.50GHz Q9300, so it will compete against 266$ Q9400

X4 3.00GHz 940 is faster slightly than Intel's 2.66GHz Q9400, so it will compete against 316$ Q9550

Hopefully we will see Intel price slash soon -

Q9650 3.00GHz 316$

Q9550 2.83GHz 266$

Q9400 2.66GHz 224$

Q9300 2.50GHz 198$

Q8200 2.33GHz 183$

Q6600 2.40Ghz 173$
 
Phenom II B clocks revealed

Business all the way to 2.9GHz

AMD's business CPUs will clock all the way to 2.9GHz. The slowest dual cores branded as Athlon X2 B21 will work at 2.7GHz and this is 2MB L2 CPU based on Regor 45nm dual core. Athlon X2 B23 will be the faster iteration of this CPU clocked at 2.9GHz. These CPUs will feature a TDP of under 65W.

The three-core Phenom II X3 B71, based on Heka three-core, will run at 2.8GHz and it comes with 7.5MB of cache. The faster one is Phenom II X3 B73 and this one works at 2.8GHz, all under a 95W TDP design.

The quad-core business CPUs are Phenom II X4 B91 with 2.6GHz core clocke and 8MB of total cache and this Deneb based CPU will also fit to under 95W TDP. The faster business Phenom is AMD Phenom II X4 B93 and this CPU will reach 2.8GHz.

They are all set to launch in early Q3 2009.

Looks like Phenom II is shaping up nicely Phenom II + 790GX Jetway good platform in the building....

did any1 notice the blackbox properties in WPrime 2.0 screenshot?
see the Data width...its 32bit
phenom II nt actually 64bit like intels?? :O
also phenom II wid EM64T support n not x86-64 support :O well this mayb a bug as i tried that s/w on my athlon x2 it also displays EM64T instead of x86-64[/QUOTE]
anybody willing to shed any light on this plz?
 
Any info about Phenom II 920 pricing.. in what range it what might fall... I am thinking of buying an AMD system.. for a budget of 15k for both processor and motherboard..

at present I am thinking of Phenom 9950BE + Biostar 790GX A2+ at that budget... Is there any chance Phenom II 920 falls under 10k category.. or is there any chance for price reduction in phenom 9950be..
 
The day arrives. Let me begin it with a link from an Italian website:

With the new series of CPU AMD Phenom II marks its entry into the "club of 45nm for the desktop segment (the first 45nm processors were released in November under the sign of the Opteron for server systems). This transition has allowed the company to Sunnyvale to make several steps forward in the main can be summarized in a greater allocation of L3 cache, the ability to achieve higher operating frequencies and reduced power consumption in obtaining.

The influence of these optimization have something to do some 'on all the applications, weighing as much as a +20% compared to the previous top model range. On balance this is a good increase in mind that you are talking about the same architecture.

Unfortunately, the numbers shown by the new flagship are not so high that they can still compete face to face with the CPU Core 2 Quad Intel, at least with models equipped with the same frequency of operation. As we have seen from our tests, in fact, the architecture of Intel Conroe still manages to exceed that AMD Deneb in most benchmarks.

But the website did praise the Phenom II will slip into AM+ mobos :) (PS: after going through some charts at the website, IMHO the conclusion is bulls**t. Phenom II 940 is doing quite well and the performance gap as far as Yorkfield's are concerned has been closed considerably.)

A decent beginning for AMD in the new year, but let's see what AnandTech and Techreport have to say on Phenom II
