AMD 3.0 GHz Quad core Phenom X4

On the “Technology of yesterday analyst Day” showed AMD a Quad core system with Triple CrossFire. The computer was based on a Phenom X4 processor, which was clocked with 3,0 GHz, a Main board with RD790 chip set and three ATI Radeon hp 2900 XT diagram maps, which worked parallel (CrossFire). On the system plays and demo, bench mark ran could however none be made.

Nothing the defiance demonstrated AMD successfully with the fact that the own 4-Kern-Prozessor runs also with more than 2 GHz clock frequency. It was feared that AMD has problems with higher clock frequencies, after the first Quad core Opteron CCUs for server (code name: Barcelona) in the next month with maximally 2.0 GHz will be available.
The first Phenom processors with two and four cores at the earliest in the fourth quarter expected and obviously more highly clocked to be, as now turned out. There were rumors over it already longer.
The Phenom manufactured in 65nm technology is based on same architecture as the Barcelona models and has 512 KByte Level-2 Cache per core as well as 2 MByte a large Level-3 Cache, which all CCU cores can access. The Phenom will be compatible to the base AM2. Begun into the base AM2+ it supports also faster hypertransport 3.0.
The RD790 chip set should shortly be available and AMD yesterday also confirmed, what one already knew for some weeks, i.e. that the chip set supports Quad CrossFire, thus the simultaneous enterprise of up to four diagram maps.
