FX-Series Processors Clock Speeds 'Revealed'

Fab 8 is for 28nm and below (ARM and other consumers+AMD Bulk)

Fab 1 is for 32nm and below (AMD alone non bulk)

32nm production will not affect 28nm production by next year, vice versa

45nm is getting EOL because there is no need for 45nm

Global Foundries is backed by a very and I mean a very rich government technology investor
It isn't high cost to AMD

Thats true, but capcity will get short when demand goes up and they are putting alot of demand on glofo currently. IIRC some other chip manu's recently either talked or did move from tsmc to glofo.

Its likely just a culmination of things but my bet is on production capcity on 32nm just not being there.You always push your big sellers out first and if they can't allot the proper production time for the chips and keep quantity on the apu's plus all the other products, plus the other customers products, yeah its going to cuase delays.

there also been speculation and some confrimation by amd that they are considering glofo for gpus sooner or later. So its hard to say whats going on when they are being quiet, but I think its a capacity issue. It happens.
 
Christ guys. Its Saturday night and your home in front of the computer? Just got back from watching midget wrestling. Was hilarious.

Well I looked at an Phenom II OEM at Newegg I was like wait a minute.....

Because, I remember in OBRs video and he took a picture of the back as well

and AMD is the only one that still use the PGA design, Llano has a huge hole in it

OBR/Pink Pig/SunnyKFC all have Engineer Samples but they aren't showing benchmarks

OBR took it to himself to smudge benchmarks for teh LULZ

They have a CPU and it is a Engineer Sample

Pink Pigs is an A1
OBR has B0/B1s
SunnyKFC has B0s

I have to commend your attention to detail. You could have posted the pics side by side and told us to spot the difference and I would probably still be sitting here staring at them.

Or the newegg pic is a generic one from the other AMD's they sell.

Bottom left of the AM3B socket.. Extra pin is utilized. Only is covering 1 pin instead of two like the others


Edit - I'm drunk so i might not be

Which happens to match up to your "Bullshitdozer" pic.

So is it a bulldozer or an Athlon X2?

Athlon 64 X2* or a Bulldozer

that 1 pin isn't used supposedly

If it was all these people buy the AM3 White Socket with BIOs upgrades are screwed

It doesn't match up exactly though. If you go to the top right space and count the pins up, the shitdozer has 9 pins and the Athlon has 10.

So if OBR has an engineering sample, Why would he post false benches?

Am I correct that he was always an Intel fanboy? If I'm not, disregard the following statement.

If so (Deal with me here for a moment, I've been watching a lot of Scooby Doo today.) the only reason he would post false benchmarks would be to protect Intel. If they were worse, he could show them for a laugh. We already know that he is not under NDA.

Now I just need to find someone to unmask.
