AMD Readies 3.70 GHz Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Processor - Page 3

I think a 4.00 GHz SKU is affordable on C3 silicon at the expense of 140W TDP.

Negative. Laptops are not higher binned they are lower leakage that doesn't make them better high leak chips clock best. Heatspreader doesn't make a huge difference in temps amd still rates both cpu's silicone at 95c oddly enough since its the same silicone. Same goes for opty chips aswell.

no point, this is the last refresh, next is Bulldozer and Llano

I didn't comment on there being a point. I just said it's possible to do a 4 GHz SKU within the 140W envelope. I'm fairly informed of AMD's product rollout plans.

I am pretty sure laptop cpus are binned server cpus that didn't quite make it.

My unlocked 720 does 3.5GHz @ 1.424V and idles at 400MHz @0.720V.

nice stock clock speed for a PII chip, theyve really come a long way since the original phenoms, 3.8ghz would be nice to round off the series however.

also heres hoping for a 3.4ghz 1110T chip before bulldozer lands, especiall if it lowers the prices of the rest of the chips for the destockage

will it beat the I5 760 2.8GHZ?

I suppose because 90% dont overclock therefore most of them will automatically think that any CPU clocked at 3.7gig stock has gotta be faster than anything else.

And going by that there about the same in performance, depending on the game and both are around the same price? Gezzz even the dual core in that list gives out enough FPS. SO any of those CPU's are good enough for gaming on.

Thats so true, look back in the P4 days, it work for them back then.

Regarding temps. when you overclock a phenom II cpu the temps are usually out by 10 degrees or so.

You can test this by looking at your temps at stock speeds, and then looking at them right after a reboot after your overclock.
