AMD FX 8 Core and 4 Core Processor Systems Seen Running at E3

[rakesh_sharma23]

I have been in PC making from Pentium series time.. i was happy with the Intel till Pentium III CPU.. then came AMD Athlon... It just changed my choice... Since then i was truly AMD Fan.. used AMD and suggest AMD only to every one i know..

Even Intel Core i7 (first Gen) failed to shift me to Intel (was very expensive).......
BUT but........ Sandy Bridge changed whole story...

Now I am having i7 2600k in my rig... and very pleased with the performance ..fare good then AMD X6...

This is the same story of many AMD lovers..... SandyBridge made then switch to Intel....

If AMD Fx performs better then SandyBridge than there is some hope for AMD,,,
Even equal performance will lead to loss the battle for AMD.. cos Intel socket-2011 cpu are ready to fight against FX.....

Cross my fingers for AMD Fx.....

Seriously? A STOCK cooler blocking a RAM slot?

I don't believe AMD has the resources to keep up with Intel anymore. Until I see real benchmarks that prove otherwise, I don't believe that AMD's upcoming lineup will be able to beat Intel's current one.

 

[Funtoss]

need benchmarks!!!

AMD will keep beating Intel in price, which is why I will keep siding with them The huge budget market is what will keep AMD alive, unless Intel goes back to making illegal deals with suppliers...

Paraphrasing Patrick Henry, "Give me benchmarks or give me silence!"

Looks like Scythe Shuriken to me

Not to me, and I've had the original and I'm currently running a Big Shuriken

That's perspective aggravated by the fact that the cooler is crookedly assembled. I'm pretty sure if the cooler is placed as is supposed to, the RAM slot won't be blocked.

True, but both problems are a bit much for an AMD demo system...

Glitch, no Techpowerup has low glitch in his head...

As you noticed that CPUs runs from 800MHz to 3.2GHz so that means that they are not at full 100% as all together, so that 20°C is in normal range then!

This CPUs are scalable, maybe if you turn off two and overclock to 4GHz or more, that should be fun...

This isn't the first time this sort of thing happened.

IIRC, Btarunr posted a news from Spire cases where it showed the motherboard within the case. Thing is it was mounted pretty much as this cooler: crookedly. I joked about it and someone from Spire replied and said something like: "We're not very good at assembling" (not exactly this, but close). That made me laugh, hehe

I'm sure there are other instances as well.

 

[Assimilator]

Pretty packaging but no benchmarks, a temperature sensor that can't correctly report temperatures, and "new" overclocking software that doesn't even work properly with their own new chips?

AMD, you're doing a great job convincing us... that Bulldozer is going be be even worse than Phenom, and you're marketing the crap out of it to cover up the fact that you can't make competitive CPUs anymore.

 

[filip007]

There is nothing wrong with software, why would they show something broken. Better wait for more official stuff...

 

[bucketface]

what overclocking software?
the temps and volts are probably the result of software incompatability with the program displaying them. maybe on purpose?
still want benchies...

 

[BarbaricSoul]

Who gives a shit about what the new CPU's or the boxes they come in look like? BENCHMARKS ARE WHAT COUNTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jpierce55]

After building up to this degree of suspense, if AMD fail, it'll be the most Ultimate Supreme EPIC & Unforgivable Fail!
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!!

It reminds me of the Phenom hype.

 

[btarunr]

It reminds me of the Phenom hype.

For Phenom, AMD started hyping Barcelona right when Intel released the Core 2 series. That hype campaign was a lot more aggressive. You had senior VPs of AMD publicly saying that Barcelona will "crush" Core 2.

That isn't happening now. The "FX" name first became public via leaks, AMD hasn't commented on performance to the public till now. When talking about the Bulldozer architecture, AMD avoided claiming it to be the fastest processor architecture, or something that will be the fastest in the market.

If AMD was confident that FX will lead, you can bet your bottom penny that they would have launched FX months ago, or would have made benchmarks public.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Whadda you mean? They use Facebook and Twitter! What else is there?

I see what you did there. lol

 

[cadaveca]

I see what you did there. lol

I got AM3+ boards...hopefully they'll send me a CPU...soon.

 

[HD64G]

Well, not on a stock air cooler your not. The right liquid cooler or thermal electric you sure can.

Though you can actually get a degree or two under room ambient on high-end air in a highly ventilated case. Depends on humidity and how much air you got moving through the cooler and case itself. So you will cool to the ambient of the air being forced over the cooler, and that can indeed be slightly less than the air temps in a room with stagnate air. To a point anyway. lol

Exactly!

 

[Widjaja]

Idk this hype reminds me of the HD2900s :/

I'll be very pissed off if AMD has another fail like the Gen 1 Phenom.
If they do I'm most likely going to Intel.

I am reminded of the Phenom days when Chines guys were doing this very same thing ! It would seem that every time the Japanese or Chines kids get these CPU's they do this EVERY TIME . I do not see benchmarks !
If this "FX" Chip was all that and a bag of Chips I would think AMD would be handing them out to be test by every one ! Not just to the chines ! This is JMHO ! I highly doubt that there "FX" Chip will be able to hold a candle to Ivy ! BD ='s Big Disappointment !

 

[TheMailMan78]

Everyone keeps talking about hype. WTF hype has there been from AMD? The Phenom and 2900 had MAJOR hype. All I have seen is box art for the FX. I would hardly call that hype.

I figure this bulldozer will be on par with Sandy. Maybe just a tad slower but for a better price and thats me being optimistic. All one has to do is look at the price and see the FX for what it is.

 

[mstenholm]

Cdawall is right about the sensors. They do read correctly.........at 19C. Outside of that, who knows.



Crazy I tell you! Where do you come up with your stuff?

The man is not crazy. That is common knowledge to people with an engineering degree.

The sensors read wrong!
