AMD unveils Phenom II architecture for newer gaming focus

AMD was the start of the conference with the official debut of the Phenom II, his first major processor 45 nanometers. The upgrade is based on the same basis "Shanghai" Opteron recent architecture and offers a speed of about 20 percent during the last best pulse 2.6GHz chip through changes associated with an optimized design with more detailed instructions processed per clock cycle, 4 MB cache extra total, and support for DDR3 memory at 1333MHz Intel competing systems. The design is now much more tolerant of the high clock speed and will continue to 3 GHz in stock trim.

Reflecting a new focus Thursday AMD is a new grouping, the usefulness of a simplified overclocking with its highest-end model, en tout a large number of options for higher speeds. The chip is capable of so much 4GHz based on the fan, the company claims. Exotic overclocking using liquid nitrogen to the system to 6GHz or more; Core i7 and material support from the older generations can not reach this point, because they physically limited by a cold bug "that prevents them fall below a certain temperature, according AMD representative Simon Solotko.

When asked why the system is Intel 3.2GHz despite room for faster clock speeds, the official statement that the need for the chip to run at regular specifications without problems. Yet it is widely seen by some observers that the move is a deliberate attempt to avoid any race clock Intel, which saw the two companies ramp rates up to their limit.

The design is also reported that more than 30 to 40 percent more power at peak load. despite its 125W ceiling, and the plan to work with a 790GX chipset motherboard (mainboard) as part of a platform combined nicknamed "Dragon". The new Union is not only a 3.6GHz or faster, faster Hyper Transport (interface) bus, but also for better integration of images that can be used in a way to stop the Hybrid CrossFire video dedicated to saving energy with lighter loads.

Taking design is compatible and works on many games in the series 780-use of DDR2 memory simply by applying a firmware update. AMD claims that users have the option to upgrade to new models and get 790GX performance DDR3 architecture and other changes without replacing the transformer.

AMD's first Phenom II chip is available today and the introduction of a 2.8GHz Phenom X4 II 920 to $ 235 in large lots for PC makers. The flagship model of 3Ghz 940 is locked for overclocking and costs $ 275 in similar quantities. Retail kits are likely to cost more.

The introduction of vital importance for AMD, which has difficulties to maintain its competitiveness with Intel and had to abandon its forecast for this year by 25 percent that Intel maintains a current leyden performance in both desktops and laptops. Phenom II should not only AMD's competitiveness in the implementation, but also to win on price, according Solotko a typical mother for the new equipment Gigabyte or any of its rivals will cost about $ 140, about half of the minimum cost of entry for a Core i7 motherboard(Mainboard).

Solotko rejects notions that Intel Hyperthreading, which can sometimes make use of two program threads on a single core, is always the best for the games it supports, rather than the platform in conjunction with the focus on the effectiveness of the core chips, and the use of the latest video cards support general computing, need to be in general.

"Throwing threads games will not solve the problem," he said, referring to Intel technology.
