All worshippers of production AMD, and also substantial part of Intel supporters already know that on December 2006 will become the day of the beginning for the mass deliveries of 0.065 m processors brisbane with 2 X 512 KB cache. They make a debut in the models with the rating from 4000+ (2.1 GHz) to 5000+ (2.6 GHz); however, already in the second quarter of 2007 these processors will reach the frequencies of 2.7-2.8 GHz. On this frequency their level TDP will be replaced with 65 from 76 W.
Although many users for sure consider the announcement of 0.065 m processors as a worthy event. Faster models do not appear from the beginning of 0.065 m processors deliveries, simply to the desktop segment return processors athlon 64 X2 with ratings 4000+, 4400+ and 4800+, which were removed from summer because of too large volume of cache in the second level - AMD has to disadvantageously sell such processors on the new prices, yes even the assortment of proposals should have been optimized for the larger technological effectiveness of production. Let us note, that in 0.065 m versions their will be models with the cache volume in the second level equal to 2 X 512 KB.
Associate published the screen shot of the engineering model of processor brisbane with rating 4800+:
As you can see, processor actually operates at the frequency of 2.5 GHz, which is achieved by the use of multiplier of 12.5x. the previous processors athlon 64 X2 used only integral multiplier. For the work with the processors on core brisbane it will be necessary to update the motherboard BIOS. The showin abrove vcore value is wrong - utility CPU- Z in this plan frequently makes mistakes. The results of the tests of this processor with the overclock will be published tomorrow.
Simultaneously they reported that the accessibility of processors brisbane first time will be limited. Subsequently these processors must solve one of the main AMD problems : the shortage of processors in retail.… Related Products :
