First Sketch of AMD Socket G34 Presented

suraswami · Jul 17, 2008

Damn it, I just upgraded to Quad-core and 8 and 12 cores are already in the horizon?

Hopefully this gives AMD a fighting chance.

Also AMD’s other design called Fusion will have nothing to do with Bulldozer. Both are different in design and meant for a different purpose from what I’ve found out.

which one will people be using for games?

If the new architecture is good, it will give a good fight against Intel's Nelahem.

Let's hope that the price is also good

So AMDs R&D is slowly catching up to Intels. Intel took a couple years ( I think maybe 3) to finally counteract Athlon 64. AMD took about the same time maybe 1 year longer ( I think 4 to 4.5 years) to counter that. Im still not ready for that many cores. OCing those things should be a pain in the rear.

pity, as now a heatsink will only work on amd and vice versa... and what about performance heatsinks?

Fusion will mostly be for notebooks and general low to mid powered PC's where as the Meat and Potatoes will be Bulldozer.

I think their is nothing wrong with AMD's upcoming CPU shape. Their is always options and addons to make sure heatsinks work on a large number of different CPU's...

yeah but changing the actual physical shape so that it dosent fit the bottom plate of any currect heatsink will need more than an add-on to be effective.

you cant just put a piece of metal between it and expect that to be very effective

Super XP · Jul 18, 2008

I see your point. But by the time these new CPU's are released, there is going to be so many more new heat sinks in the market. Who knows, maybe AMD might do a last minute change with the socket shape.

I am sure they have a logical explanation in why they've chosen such a peculiar shape.

lol, you try fitting 12 cores (in a similar scale that you already use) on a chip & see what happens. I would rather have a funny looking smaller rectangle than a huge square :wtf:

bassmasta · Jul 18, 2008

wouldnt it make sense for dual and quad cores to be focused on one side of the rectangle, where current heatsinks would still cover them? if you have the cash for 12 cores, I'm sure you can throw in a heatsink.
