The Hexa-Core Clubhouse.

TheMailMan78 · Apr 8, 2010

A lot of us will be getting 6 cores for our boards and I thought it would be cool to start a clubhouse where we could all talk temps, speeds, and settings. Ill be updating this posts with charts and news as we gather first hand knowledge of these babies!

AMD:

AMD’s chip is codenamed Thuban and will feature all six cores on single 45nm die. Thuban will feature an integrated DDR3 controller. The company didn’t confirm branding but the chip is expected to be labeled as the Phenom II X6. The chip is derivative of the six-core Opteron chip which made its earlier this summer.

Extrapolating from the hexa-core Opteron, Thuban is likely to be a 346mm2 chip and have a massive 904 million transistors. As a comparison, Intel’s Core i7-975 Extreme Editions have 731 million transistors on a 262mm2 die, the Core i5-750 has 774 million transistors with 296mm2 die and the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 758 million transistors on a 258mm2 die.

The chip is expected to have 3MB of L2 and 6MB of L3 cache. The company did not specific initial clock speeds but they are not expected to be as high as the quad-core parts. That’s likely due to added thermal output from the two additional cores.

Thuban is not due until sometime next year and is unlikely to beat Intel’s Gulftown to stores shelves. Intel’s Gulftown, likely to be called Core i9, when it is released, will slip into existing LGA1366 boards and will offer 12-threads to the OS with six of those coming from cores, and the other six from HyperThreading.

AMD Mobos that support x6.

Intel:

The 980X is also the first high-performance processor based on the 32 nm Westmere architecture. The processor is able to maintain a TDP rating of 130W, on par with its 45 nm Nehalem quad-core counterparts. It has six cores operating at 3.33 GHz, with HyperThreading technology enabled, there are 12 logical CPUs (threads) for the operating system to deal with. Each core has 64 KB L1, 256 KB L2 caches, while a large 12 MB L3 cache is shared between all the cores. The Core i7 980X comes in the LGA-1366 package. Most existing motherboards with the Intel X58 Express chipset will be able to support it with a BIOS update. Intel will formally release the processor by April, at an estimated price of US $999.

Just aimed at AMD 6 cores or Intel too?

Assassin48 · Apr 8, 2010

how about us with 16 threads going ?

YinYang.ERROR · Apr 8, 2010

I will not be joining this until winter 2010. But I look forward to seeing the temps, speed, etc.

Both. I want to make a thread to share ideas. Not create a pissing contest. The more people learn from both sides the better the forum IMO.

Would you hurry up with that? Need to get that 955 you got crunching. :laugh:

Don't worry. I'm keeping her nice and cool for you. She never breaks 45c under load.

Other than I hate you no. You can't join. :laugh:

This is a Hexa-core clubhouse. Your damn Octo-Core isn't welcome......Octo-Core sounds like a weapon you use against Spiderman.

lol ill shut down a few cores how about that :roll:

I don't feel like making a club either, it will be lonely with fits and me :laugh:

$999!?!?! you guys would spend that much on a cpu?!?!?!?

TheMailMan78 · Apr 8, 2010

And thats why I'm going with AMD. $295

But still if I had the money I damn sure would go Intel.

aaa sorry my bad i didnt see the price tag for amd

i thought it would be around the same

theonedub · Apr 8, 2010

AMD has made their pricing way too tempting. How can you pass on a 6 core for that $$?

I want to know for sure if 6 physical AMD cores out match Intel's 4+4

MoonPig · Apr 8, 2010

Im tempted to make the move to AMD when these are released...

Looking forward to some results and reviews

DannibusX · Apr 8, 2010

Oh sweet Jesus, why does the AMD have to be $295? It's like they're holding a gun to my head to make me upgrade.

erixx · Apr 8, 2010

I have 4 CPU cores, 1 GPU core and my own (human) core that makes up six, can I have a beer?

These every 6-month revolutions are getting harder and harder aint' they?

Stak · Apr 8, 2010

Wow 32 nm already? But 999 for intel... Well, at least i already have lga1366. Now wait till its 60-70%off

1Kurgan1 · Apr 8, 2010

Thubans suppose to be out at the end of this month or next month, that news report looks old, and the 1080T is going to be 3.2Ghz, thats really darn close to the top quads right now. I didn't know the Thubans transistor count was going to be that high though... I like the sounds of that at the price range, maybe it will be even better than I hoped.

Wile E · Apr 8, 2010

Woohoo. I would like to join. I already have my precious, but no ram to run it yet.

I also plan to sell my QX setup to grab a Thuban for 24/7 use, if possible.

Aceman.au · Apr 8, 2010

I got a quad with 8 threads

Does that count

TheMailMan78 · Apr 8, 2010

Just to let you know guys I plan on adding all kinds of stuff to the first post so we can all use it as reference. I'm just waiting on both companies to get them on the market. If some of you guys with Intel 6 cores want to help send me temps, frequency, benches. Anything you can attest to. What I don't want are other websites benches. I want this to be a community thread with community feed back. Not sponsored garbage like on other sites.

I know I know. But just to let you know I read on another site that the turbo mode may knock that up to 3.6 in some cases. Now like I said thats a rumor. But man if its true.....WOW!

I won't be buying from Howard though, he jacks up his prices. lol
