Well, you seem to have an embarrassment of technological riches. Let me help you with that. Just send me the R 1700, Taichi, and the Flare X and I'll test those.:D
AMD has beat expectations for the past few quarters and this has helped lift the stock. That, coupled with Ryzen/Vega expectations, has put it into the $13-14 range. I bought some in Feb 2016 primarily because of Zen speculation and purchased some additional this January. You're correct in...
I have a 140mi. roundtrip commute on a rural, mountain road. This means that in the winter I leave and return in the dark. I heard that bluish lighting had better contrast, so I bought a pair of 7000K bulbs to try. The first substantial rainstorm proved this was based on BS - couldn't see a...
I believe it's the latter....not turning DDR3 compatibiliy on as yet. I read some AMD on-line documentation on Barcelona months ago which indicated both DDR2 and DDR3 compatibility. That obviously was never turned on as AMD DDR3 boards haven't materialized. I also recall seeing pictures of...
Interesting......adjusted for clock speed (3.25 vs 3.0), Deneb is ~28% quicker than Agena in CPU Queen. That's my 9950BE vs the chart posted in the link.
We'll know more about the performance gains closer to launch. Until then we wait and speculate.:D
I was interested in how AMD managed to avoid HK/MG at 45nm and, in fact, postpone it until late 45nm or even 32nm. I found this article that describes the transistor improvements AMD has made from the 65nm tech. Interesting read.........

Check the master/slave jumpers on your IDE components. AMI bios' need those configured properly to work on the IDE channels..........otherwise very slow boots!
Dunno about the Biostar....I have a Gigabyte...same as SunnyD. Good board, particularly if you are thinking Phenom in the future (SB750). Mine is in RMA at the moment, however........bit by the bios corruption bug!
I ended up buying an Asus M3A79-T Deluxe while the Giga is being...
9850BE, 2.9ghz @ 1.35v, folding SMP 24/7, 50C full load under Swiftech H2O 220, 56C PWM with a 40mm strapped to its ass. Haven't tried to tweak much as yet.
@Idontcare
The link you provided was interesting, however it seemed rather biased toward the negative regarding issues with the technology. It appears that the article was somewhat older than the posted date in that the Gen 2 Z-RAM had been cooking for some time and AMD already licensed it...
I believe that AMD will improve on the current SRAM based L3 cache by moving to Z-RAM, which it licensed in 2005 and again in 2006. Z-Ram may not be incumbent until 32nm, or possibly the second iteration of 45nm when metal high-k gates and ultra-low k interconnects are due.
So confused! Everything I've read at various websites has indicated that 45nm will bring low-K interconnects. Now the AMD press release states it will be used in 'later 45nm' parts. This actually contradicts AMD's press kit which indicates low-K for 45nm, with high--K/metal gates coming later...
Check this FrostyTech heatsink review. www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2041 Go to Page 4 and you'll see the stock AMD heatpipe slots between a Thermalright Ultra120 and a Noctua! I'd say it's worth $14. I'm using one on an Opteron 165 oc'd to 2.7ghz and haven't had any heat...
