yea lets see if its realy more than 6mb of a cache and a die shrink..denab will be here in a month i hope it surpasses core 2 in gaming..if it does i will over that shit ..there are rummers that deneb will do over 4ghz on air and be 15 to 20% faster clock for clock to existing phenoms..but that dosnt mean it will be stable at those high overclocks...there being real hush hush like they were with the 4800 series gpu,s...do you smell a come back cuz they been working on this chip for the longest

its all about deneb now
-
oh and btw, this system was also converting an HD video at the same time...

listen, this was made/released early last year!, the chip used here was a 65nm post-production/beta model of the Phenom FX, now, its 45nm and a more mature version, not final, but mature, so stop blabing, a little research wont hurt!

wow 8 cores to watch spiderman.

whats really hilarious is intel advertising their puney 1300FSB as mega-transfers per second to make it sound bigger xD

yes but the switch to z-ram(or whatever its called) reduces the size of the cache, the new dies are smaller(logic portion, i think at least) amd the cache is of lower latency, its not adding MORE steak, its more like going from a ny strip to a fillet(or Delmonico in the case of the phenom vs athlon) sorry, i guess I'm not as good with analogies as you.

if you have a plate with peas, carrots, and steak. and move your peas to your carrots and your carrots to your peas, you havent added any food to it or taken anything away. its still the same ammount. same thing here. =] cache is irevellent when trying to move large ammounts of code at once instantly like in games. thats what paging is for. so no, its not a major architechture change. just their way of making more money and calling a new model. still addresses the same and transfers the same.

msi k9a2 platinum = the best mobo eva.

ok, to changing that would be an architecture change, thats true, but how can you say that changing the way the two cores communicate, including another level of cache, and moving the parts of the actual die design to reduce the size not an architectural change?

nm is the amount of transistors on the chip, which only reduces power usage, and can slightly increase speed. However, Intels L2 cache doesnt do shit, when the bottle neck is their 1333FSB, which AMD has surpassed with HT3.0 while having a 3600Mhz bus speed. AMD wins.
