The present version of turbo core technology, used on the six-core processors AMD phenom II X6, provides a increase in the frequency of half of processor core by 400-500 MHz in the absence of computational load on the remaining cores. The turbo core technology will reach higher frequency after the release of processors generation bulldozer, and frequency will increase by 500 MHz even with the presence of load on all existing core.
AMD representatives reported additional details about the special features of technology turbo core 2.0, which will be supported by the processors bulldozer.
The trade-off between TDP and ACP values, which characterize the calculated heat emission of processor and its average energy consumption level, correspondingly, can reach 30-35%. Already in the present processors opteron with 12 cores is used the technology coolSpeed, which additionally increase the frequency of cores by 5%.
As explains AMD, the technology turbo core 2.0 will raise the frequency of all processor core by up to 500 MHz, and in the case of maximum activity the half of cores increase in the frequency can exceed 500 MHz. The processors generation bulldozer will be described by base frequency and maximum. The possibility of a dynamic increase in the frequency will be determined according to the degree of core energy consumption , but not according to the temperature. Related Products :
