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

I'm gunna have to say, this really seems like a pointless demo, especially given it shows, that this close to launch they are still having issues (all be it minor ones), with temp sensors, and I really doubt those voltages are legit either.

i think, its due the team that programs AOD...i think they are not very good programmers,
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:
 
The tin can is awesome cause you can you can store a bunch of crap afterwards, like old Baseball cards or marijuana.

So THAT'S why they're tin canning black edition FX processors! I knew AMD secretly liked the stoner crowd ;)

Anyway.....it's interesting to see that all those cores are about to run at different frequencies. I thought that only one core would be overclocked and the rest at a set clock. I guess it's different with these "modules".
 
There's no way it's cooler than 66F in that convention center. It's most likely 72-80F. Looks like they're still using the old broken temp sensors.

the sensors are not "broken" they read correctly at 65C.
 
i concur

The sensors are NOT i repet NOT broken they read correctly
 
I dig the metal box.

So what's the deal? How do you know?

I'm interested to know as well.

I must of missed this great new technology AMD has that allows their processors to run under ambient temperatures using a stock air cooler.

So with that being said. I repet, the temperature sensor(s) are not giving accurate readings.
 
I believe that the temp sensor might be like the PIIs, whereas the temp is not correct at low temps, but as it starts to scale up, the readings become accurate. Could be wrong though, just a guess.
 
cdawall has some idea whats going on, I wouldn't put it past him if he's already running an ES X8 chip :wtf:

whereever he got that from:D
Im not sure if he has one, but im pretty sure he knows someone that has one;)

That would make me as jealous as being at E3. If not more. :D
 
wow, i love the box

they don't read correctly at anything below 65C there is a temp delta built into them.

He's taking the Apple approach, disregard evidence, reap profits.

I agree that this was a pointless demo, until they show any benchmarks or viable performance numbers, I will assume these are at best on par with SB CPU's.

what do you mean by that there is no evidence these chips are not out. i am telling you what i know. i have also never mentioned performance nor do i care too.
 
Sorry if this is off-topic, but why I can't comment on the 2011 Computex 2011 Show Girls article. Marilyn Monroe was there advertising a smartphone.

How did she smell?
 
19C is easily possible, just don't think it's going to happen on stock cooling. haha

I am at 20C on my soon to be outmatched 1090T at 4.1GHz at the moment. Then again, I am also not doing much save for running a single sever and reading up here at TPU. Well, that, and I am also running a Thermaltake Frio cooler. lol

Can't wait to get my greedy geeky hands on one of these 8 cores....

The point is that it is impossible for a CPU to run below ambient (room temperature). So if it is 21c in your room, your CPU cannot run at 20c.
 
Cool N Quiet didn't seem to work right :p.

Each core had different frequency, but the voltage stayed the same.

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
