AMD FX 8 Core and 4 Core Processor Systems Seen Running at E3
At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2011, AMD made its revival of the FX brand identifier official. The company steered clear of actually launching anything, but reran the audience through the AMD Bulldozer architecture, something AMD first did way back in August 2010 (yeah, it's been that long!). Knowing the audience needed a lot more than just that, AMD ran live demos of gaming PCs running the new FX series processors, again, without giving away any performance figures.
AMD first showed the final box art design. The box of the eight-core FX Black Edition processor is a classy metal canister, while the quad-core FX chip is housed in a more common-looking paperboard box, the design of which matches the one revealed in a box-art exposé back in March. The gaming rigs shown run the eight-core FX processor on an ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard, with Radeon HD 6900 series graphics, with an Eyefinity display setup.
An instance of next-generation AMD Overdrive software is running, displaying a surprisingly low 19°C temperature on all cores. This could be a glitch, probably because AOD doesn't support the sensor interface of the new FX chips properly, yet. The other thing AOD reveals is that each of the eight cores is running on its own BClk multiplier value, ranging from 1.00 GHz (5 x 200 MHz), to 3.20 GHz (16 x 200 MHz). The core voltage for all the cores is displayed as 1.4V, again we suspect a low-level interface glitch.

Whew, I'm the master of the run-on sentence. :D
Interesting display none the less. Now they just need to let me borrow one of the production samples for a more...hands-on testing so I can be sure its what I want in the near future.
It doesn't have to be a mega leap in technology, it'll be enough if it at least looks SB straight in the eye, but dammit, it better not be fail!!:twitch:
Sooner they get them out, more likely I'll be to buy one. Otherwise they'll just be butting up too closely with LGA2011.
No problem with a couple more bucks for a tin. New stash container...

felt like posting this here as well
I wouldn't go saying using broken temp sensors, but time will tell right!
:rockout:
Until then heres a hot chick.

:banghead:
They announced this already :|
But, I forgot the link...
Holy shit, hot chick alert
thanks for that :toast:
I could get lost in those
boobs, err...I mean, those eyes...those big, beautiful eyes...as till today i had not one single board where it worked as intended.... i kept myself to K10Stat and an FSB changing tool, of the manufacturer of the board i had then, when i wanted to tweak settings in bios... but AOD... hell, what a useless tool! Crashy, Buggy and locking/unlocking certain functions as it likes to... and no update i ever DLed of it, did ever brought real change to it:laugh:
