?2800, 3200 and 3600MHz are you kidding? Those seem a little faster than the current HT 2000MHz. I'm just wonder how many will want to cripple those things on old assed AMD2's? Now if the old AM2's can match their speeds, support the newer Cool N Quiet and etc.. pretend I didn't complain
Man, talking about speed binnng to death.
I will believe it when I see [H]ardOCP's numbers (which are going to include x264 encoding results, right Kyle? ).2800, 3200 and 3600MHz are you kidding?

Whenever it does ship, someone please save this thread?Again, I pointed that Quad Core is the reason for the upgrade, not Dual Core. AM2 will Cripple Kuma to a lesser extent than Agena not if you can link me to Barkie, the point will be easily proven
The problem is not 2 socket or more. The problem is ONE Quad Core feeding off ONE memory controller. AMD current uses two cycles to do Intel's SSE the newer processors will do it in one cycle, it gain more Floating Point and Integer so it should or need to Take in more bandwidth data wise, process it and send more back. If AM2 is all that it needs, I say again, AMD is PHUCKED! This would be like saying all Kentsfield needs is i875 and 800MHz FSB and DDR1 PC3200 instead of 1333MHz FSB and DDR2 800 or 1066.
HTT runs at 1GHz and the newer ones will run at 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8GHz. I don't see this as marketing or hype and I'm thinking AMD is doing it for a damned good reason. Shame on you guys for bashing AMD, wait a minute, [sound=Steve Earkel]Did IIII say thatttt[/sound].
I'm thinking AMD will do something like the 800MHz/1066MHz P4s Intel had a while ago. For example, depending on the socket type a 2.4GHz Kuma will initialize at either a 12x multipler (200MHz DDR HT x 5) on an AM2 socket or with a lower multipler in an AM2+ socket.
)they updated it for the extra power saving stuff. stuff that many people would benefit from. not us.
yeah, but that has nothing to do with the HT link. there are interconnects within the cpu to handle that traffic
but that's what intel is doing now... 4 cores, one memory controller. and it has to go through the FSB first to get to that memory controller. i fail to see where the problem is with amd's implentation, nor how HT link has anything to do with it. i understand how much you love intel, but please, understand how the HT link works and what it's there for before trying to bash it
... But I think I'm going to have to agree with Eclipse on this one. Assuming you're right then I look forward to slapping a quad core into this board when they're released. ... Most people dont seem to realize that AMD's SRQ switch is a dedicated partial mesh switch (tongue twister, say that ten times fast
When comparing Intel's FSB, the only thing you can do is look at the IMC bandwidth, AND HT bandidth....
Some people will ask why.... Well, becouse in an Intel system, both IO and memory need to share the same bandwidth. In an AMD system, IO and Memory have separate data paths. The only way to fairly compare them is as an aggregate bandwidth.
That will of course change with CSI, but until then...
