I was surprised that it worked at all, let alone rather well.

NulloModo said:But the CPUs they used were all the same speed. I'm not positive, but isn't there only one system/memory bus? I know AMD systems technically don't have FSBs anymore... or do they?
Order said:I'm 90% positive that you can't have mixed clocks.
It just demonstrates the overall versatility and stability of the AMD architecture. Too bad Tom's didn't try assymetric clock combinations as well. If this was a completely viable alternative, it would be a great upgarde path for users who can't afford to fork out the cash for two dual-cores. The intermediate solution demonstrated superiority in many of the benchmarks that mattered.Sir-Fragalot: said:I am just impressed that Toms was able to get a 130nm and a 90nm CPU to work more or less stable at the same time. That impresses me more than the fact that it was one dual core and one single core chip.
