AMD FX 8 Core and 4 Core Processor Systems Seen Running at E3
At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2011, AMD made its revival of the FX brand identifier official. The company steered clear of actually launching anything, but reran the audience through the AMD Bulldozer architecture, something AMD first did way back in August 2010 (yeah, it's been that long!). Knowing the audience needed a lot more than just that, AMD ran live demos of gaming PCs running the new FX series processors, again, without giving away any performance figures.
AMD first showed the final box art design. The box of the eight-core FX Black Edition processor is a classy metal canister, while the quad-core FX chip is housed in a more common-looking paperboard box, the design of which matches the one revealed in a box-art exposé back in March. The gaming rigs shown run the eight-core FX processor on an ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard, with Radeon HD 6900 series graphics, with an Eyefinity display setup.An instance of next-generation AMD Overdrive software is running, displaying a surprisingly low 19°C temperature on all cores. This could be a glitch, probably because AOD doesn't support the sensor interface of the new FX chips properly, yet. The other thing AOD reveals is that each of the eight cores is running on its own BClk multiplier value, ranging from 1.00 GHz (5 x 200 MHz), to 3.20 GHz (16 x 200 MHz). The core voltage for all the cores is displayed as 1.4V, again we suspect a low-level interface glitch.

1 core @ 3.2GHz = 19*C
3 cores @ 3.5-3.6 = 20.5*C
Since this AOD and not Coretemp or some other program I am not sure we should believe that 1.4volt and 19-20.5*C readings till next month when the benchies should come out

and that CPU cooler is probably not the stock cpu cooler(I don't remember seeing copper heatpipes on my AMD heatsinks)
then comes to the temps are being the same... The temperature reading there is the hottest component(the center of the CPU(That is where the sensor is at))
But yes take it as a grain of salt
Then you can go on to say that
AMD FX is on the same fab process as the Intel fab process
Both are using a version of 32nm SOI HKMG
Both can have idles below 20*C as long as the Case Ambient is also below 20*C

Well yep that is the AMD Stock cooler(E3 comp picture)
Darn you Zalman spoiling me with your Nickel-Diamond plated copper/aluminum

Looks like the case has a huge 140mm or is that 120mm fan on top so that can help that stock cooler alot xD
aww i wanted to see how well that girl could drive a stick.
I am more interested in the computer :nutkick:
The simple truth of the matter is, it is impossible for the layout shown to cool below ambient using standard heatsinks or even water cooling, and it is also impossible for the typical enthusiast to build a setup capable of cooling below ambient using only fans, and standard cooling. But also less heat dissipation from the cpu heatsink, as there is less to carry it away. But Intel doesn't call it an 8 core.
AMDs SMT and Intels SMT
As you can see AMD went from CMP to CMT
CMT is a form of SMT(Same under Taxonomy)
(Kinduh funny that they planned Bulldozer in a way since 2005)
so far bulludozer perf i can see, good enough for smooth play of dirt 3... so its at least as good as ph2. so nothing particularly new from e3 about bulldozer other than it works.
That is how you get it(You need $489 for the Eyefinity model)
All there is is common split power plane (Dual Dynamic Power Management) that is, dedicated voltage sources for (1) uncore and (2) cores.
System A: Can run:
Game A Game B(Not sure on the specs)
This really tells us nothing, given neither of those games are cpu intensive. :mad:
