Thread: AMD Socket AM3 CPU Ship Phenom II 810 analyze

You have to sometimes question what's actually going on at AMD.

AMD shipped its initial 45nm quad core CPU, the Phenom II X4 model 940 Black version along with model 920 in former

Both were 45nm CPU whose memory controllers simply defended DDR2 memory. later that original set up, prices have delivered, largely in reaction to Intel price drops
Notice that the model 940 black version clocked at 3.0GHz, when the model 920 ran at 2.8GHz. All extended 512MB of L2 cache per core and 6MB of distributed L3 cache.

Now AMD is sending its first socket AM3 CPU. The memory controller in socket AM3 CPUs is able of defending DDR3 memory. You would believe that AMD would believe the set up of a CPU that eventually supports the higher bandwidth of a fresher memory type, DDR3 to be significant adequate to ship a flagship processor.

For its first format of socket AM3 DDR3 able CPU, AMD is transmitting four cut-down Phenom II X4s and a pair of Phenol II X3s. The Phenom X4 model 810 and 805 CPUs just supply 4MB of L3 cache, low from the 6MB opposed on the DDR2-just Phenom II X4 model 900 series.

The Phenom II X 3 model 720 Black versions and model 710 have a total 6MB of L3 cache but have one CPU core disenabled.

problem of product mix and mistake apart it is interesting to check that AMD is eventually shipping DDR3 able AM3 CPUs, which are full able of also supporting DDR2.
Our best round of standards is only on a DDR2 able motherboard regrettably because the one DDR3 board we had on hand turned out to be dead on comer.
