We already had the capability to ascertain that with the use of powerful air cooler 0.065 m processors athlon 64 X2 is capable to overclocks bit more than 0.09 m predecessors. Perhaps, until today this result can arrange many supporters of platform socket AM2, indeed in 0.065 m technical process all is only in front, but it even now appears as the minimum not worse than the predecessor. However, from the point of view of energy consumption the processors brisbane are unambiguously better than 0.09 m processors windsor.
Remain only to collect information about the overclocking potential of 0.065 m processors brisbane , since the series copies of these processors are obtained to the clients OEM market, the statistics of overclock has a moderated speed. Associate overclocked 0.065 m processor athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz) to 3180 MHz in motherboard asus M2N32-SLI (nForce 590 SLI) with the use of cooler zalman CNPS9500-AM2 (not the most powerful today cooler).
Associates assert that the vocre of processor and chipset was necessary to raise for this overclock, but precise values they do not bring. If we judge by screen shot CPU- Z and to consider the tendency of this utility toward the understating of volatge, so we can concluate that the vcore was raised as the minimum to 1.6 v.
By the way, associates in the course of tests revealed a certain delay of 0.065 m version athlon 64 X2 5000+ from 0.09 m analog in a number of cases. This is not discovery for those, who already analyzed the results of similar comparisons. Associates assumed that the processors brisbane have higher delays at the level of cache or memory controller . In this situation to hunt for 0.065 m processors athlon 64 X2 will consider necessary only the amateurs of the economical in the energy plan solutions. The frequency potential of 0.065 m processors AMD will be continuously improved, and in 2007 they for sure can exceed their predecessors in overclock. Related Products :
