    AMD Zen CPUs?

    You can say the same about the Intel P IV, when they introduced SMT. At first, it was recommended to turn HT off because windows could not tell the difference. (Sound Familiar) The software, at that time, was not coded on the desktop for multiple threads. Windows scheduler had to be reworked...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    True, AMD didnot work on the CPU part of Llano to improve it. They already had a CPU handy, When they started looking for a place to put their NEW APU. Like I posted earlier, AMD has the right idea but no R&D $$$$$. Intel will see that xx is the way to go and with their $$$$$$, will end up...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    Yes I know that it was shrunk to 32nm but it also had a IGPU stuck in with it. What I'm saying, is if they had stuck just with the CPU, they could have easily had an 8 core 10MB L3 @32nm. The tweaks would of course have been SSE4a,FM3,FM4,and others. There was no need for the Dozer. The IPC...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    Yes the Phenom I was at a wall. AMD admitted that they "screwed the pooch" on the original Phenom I. They were going from a 90nm to a 65nm process and at the same time from the K8 to the K10. AMD admitted that they had "Thought to big on making the K10 a Monolithic Die @ 65nm", this can be seen...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    That was why a few years ago, there was almost the biggest LAWSUIT. AMD was selling it's foundries to somebody else and going fabless. This way, (ATI) they could jump between TSMC, IBM, ect, ect to get the best price per wafer. AND That was why a few years ago, there was almost the biggest...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    AFAIK there has not been a release yet of any software. AMD stated the same thing about the first Phenom. They had just jumped to the 65nm node AND was releasing a new chip. AMD called it a Monolithic Core (it was released late and was hyped as the first TRUE QUAD CORE CPU. Now Intel had been...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    AGAIN..... I don't remember when or what web site I read the story. I had read that GF was on track/time with using FDSOI at 22nm. Somehow ......this FDSOI at 22nm is the same as FINFET at 14-16nm. I still hope for a CPU only version. If this ZEN (or what ever they end up calling it) is close...

    AMD FX-9590 AM3+ Processor

    Well You can add Mine. New FX-8350 in a ASUS Sabertooth R2. The MB blew a VRM and took the CPU with it. I tried the CPU in another MB (Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5). I jump started it with a screw driver. It would run for about 3-5 sec before shutting down. If I held the screw driver in place, the...

    AMD Zen CPUs?

    I know it has been some years since I read the news story. I don't remember when or what web site I read the story but AMD had bought the company that made Z-ram. It was suppose to be 1/5 the size of normal Sram, that's found on CPU's and was to be as fast or faster, depending upon the size of...

    YOU CAN"T put 4GB of memory on A CPU/APU DIE!!!!!!!!!!! That is only allowed for 128GB+ Thumb Drives. Okay Fun is over. 2016: To Convert video from one (1) format to another FASTER than Intel. If it is done by the CPU, (x86) then we need more cores and higher internal memory speed. If...
