What's up with this?
The following is from a story over at HardOCP. The following information from the AMD tech tour 2002 is primarily for system builders.
"The Thoroughbred core was touched on a bit, but not really much even though people are saying the launch is just around the corner. "Smaller, Cooler, Faster" was the message being broadcasted. It was discussed that the Barton (SOI core technology) would have 384K on-die L2 cache as well."
"Thoroughbred CPUs will initially stretch deep into Palomino MHz territory. Here is not only a list, but also required voltages for the TBred CPUs."
1.5V - 1700+, 1800+, 1900+
1.6V - 2000+, 2100+
1.65V - 2200+
"Also PSU power was heavily touched on for the system builder present. It was stressed that over wattage rating for PSUs was not important, but rather the 5V rail is what to pay attention to. A minimum of 45AMPs will be required on the 5V rail due to TBred power consumption. The rail amperage rating should be printed on pretty much any PSU you find."
Can that power requirement be correct? My 400 watt Antec power supplies only put out 40 Amps on the 5 volt rail.
