Hey peeps!

I quite literally just got back to the hotel from AMD's Austin campus after a day with some rather interesting information being disclosed and freely discussed.

Unfortunately, the level of free discussion outside of the room is heavily covered by NDA so I'm unable to announce specific details. But this is what I can say...

The new platform from AMD will be called 'Dragon' and will be focused around the new 'Phenom II' processors, 4800-series Radeon graphics cards and 7-series chipset based motherboards.

Here are some general performance observations that I can disclose:

Phenom II and the Dragon platform can overclock to 4GHz on air - we were demonstrated a system @ 3.9GHz using stock bus frequency and HT link frequency and a multiplier set at 19.5x. This was done with 1.55v BIOS set. This system was looping endlessly through a Crysis time demo without issue; by the end of the day it was past 100 loops.

The platform core specifications demonstrated were as follows:

Phenom II processor
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H motherboard
Radeon HD4870X2 graphics
OCZ Reaper memory

While the unit demonstrated was @ 3.9GHz, we later had a hands on benching period with the new platform and I was able to quite easily reach this stated 4GHz frequency.

This same platform also exceeded 5GHz on liquid nitrogen cooling. But what was perhaps the coolest (no pun intended) specific of this demonstration was the processor operating and even cold booting at -196 degrees Celsius - that's right, AMD has no cold bugs of any kind, at all for Phenom II!

During this LN2 session the system was demonstrated operating in excess of 5GHz and running 1.95v BIOS set (1.936v CPU-Z read in Windows) and as stated, at the maximum lowest temps available with liquid nitrogen - time to find a liquid helium supplier peeps!

I'm gagged by the NDA on any further information and specifications such as model numbers, product features + specs, stock clock frequencies or even specific overclocked frequencies (i.e. LN2 max) as well as pricing, competitive performance or bench scores. So please, don't even bother asking me these questions as I cannot and will not answer these questions - at least until the NDA drops.

What I wanted to do with this post is at least let you all know that there is hope still for AMD and that while I've harped on about the LN2 experience, the overclocking ability is solid for LN2, phase, water and air cooling methods.

Cheers guys

AMD back in Action !!!

Siip deh, mudah2an bukan cm golden sample aja yg bs 4GHZ on air.
Dan mudah2an IPC-nya bs menyamai Core2 atau bahkan Core i7.
Bring us the competition!!!

Klo seandainya bener hasil OCnya tinggi, terus ga coldbug di -196C dan untuk daily OC usage dengan voltage yg aman dan suhunya OK(1.55 kok kynya agak tinggi buat gw yah, mengingat itu 45nm) ,terus bisa dapet clockspeed yg ga bikin HD4870 bottleneck, Ga pake lama i7 920 + MSI Eclipse X58 gw hijrah ke classy....* well, emang udah rencananya bakal masuk classy sih *

Semoga kali ini AMD bukan ngasi harapan kosong lagi, dari sejak OCabilitynya AMD dilibas Intel pas peluncuran Core 2 Duo taun 2006 kmaren, gw udah nunggu2 kapan AMD Strikes back sama OCability + Performanya ky jaman AMD64 vs Preshot...

Well, let's WAIT.....

semoga chipset AMD 770 maseh suport ama neh procie ok.
and terutama harganya kudu murmer
