It is known that the first dual core 65 nm generation AMD processors , which obtained the socket AM2, did not bring any special improvements in overclocking potential plan . The low-end models like Athlon 64 X2 3600+ (1.9 GHz) are overclocked to frequencies more than 3.0 GHz, the elder processors 65 nm models with two cores did not demonstrate essential progress in frequency potential in comparison with 90 nm predecessors .
Many are assured that the frequency potential of processors generation k10 will be opened with the aid of 65 nm technology, although the preliminary data say that the default frequencies of four core processors agena FX will not exceed 2.9 GHz. But here Some new data on this theme appeared .
Associates report that the default voltage on four core processors agena FX, which work at 2.5 GHz frequency is equal to 1.328 v. dual core processor athlon 64 FX-74 (3.0 GHz) in default rating required voltage from 1.35 to 1.4 v. for the four core processor generation k10 voltage will became lower . The processors generation k10 with the lowered energy consumption will work with voltage 1.276 v.
Associates report also that the existing models agena FX are easily overclocked from 2.5 to 3.0 GHz frequency with default voltage 1.328 v. increasing this value will result in higher overclock. AMD is assembled to demonstrate video card series radeon HD 2900 in the composition of systems, based on processors generation k10. For sure some data about the frequency potential of these processors will show up. ....
