I saw a picture that shows the Turbo mode enables 2 cores or 4 cores to be ramped up in speed when 6 cores aren't needed.
Then that would be great news. If CPU NB is at 2.4 (20% increase), that would make the Thubans a little better clock for clock than the Denebs, right? Add the turbo functionality, and I can imagine Thuban will be a good deal. Here's to hoping.
How high is the typical CPU NB clock ceiling of C3 Deneb?Whether or not Thuban will have a higher NB clockspeed ceiling than C3 Deneb remains to be seen
How high is the typical CPU NB clock ceiling of C3 Deneb?
sweeeeet! so the 1035 could be ~$180 ish? Are they all unlocked?
Seems like the limit is 3GHz on air for most C3 Denebs.
From what I read only the top end 1090T will be a black edition cpu. They are probably doing this to get enthusiasts to buy the top end part. They might release black edition versions of the slower bins in a couple of months though.
If I find an ECC enabled and Sata 6g motherboard then this 6 core business could pass as my next-gen upgrade.
More details have also emerged about AMD’s Turbo Core technology. Depending on the actual model and its specifications, AMD Phenom II X6 1000T-series chips will be able to boost their clock-speeds by 400MHz or 500MHz when only half of available cores are active, e.g., microprocessors work in triple-core mode. That said, the model Phenom II X6 1090T at 3.60GHz will most likely outperform the currently available Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition in typical cases.
Yeah but when you're doing a live show you'd rather lose some CPU cycles due to error correction slowdown rather than have to reboot your PC. Momentarily stuttering video/audio is way better than no video/audio.
Also I've tried different cpus, motherboards, psus, power conditioners, ram modules/brands, cases/cooling, videocards, HDDs and SSDs, OSes and software. I don't think there's anything that I'm missing here. Every once in a while the planets just align and I get an error, especially with almost 8 gigs of audio samples and video clips loaded. The errors increase with time until I occasionally can't even boot, that's when I RMA. I guess that's not 100% dead but I'm tired of troubleshooting.
Though I have to admit I've crashed Mac Pros too, and those had ECC.
Sorry this is all really offtopic, I don't think I'll preorder these X6s without first seeing some reviews, but it's still really tempting.
Dude, if your PC is crashing like you mentioned ECC won't save you AT ALL. If you want a stable PC, do stability tests before using it for serious stuff.
ROFL.Look at them, they're beautiful, so cute just chillin' out like that without some lame ass golden platinum heatsink with lazers.
