AMD shows off 3GHz quad core Phenom

Jess Stingray · Jul 29, 2007

After announcing that its forthcoming quad-core Barcelona chips would debut at just 2GHz, many critics were concerned about the scalability of AMD’s new native quad-core architecture. However, AMD has quickly responded by showing off a 3GHz quad-core Phenom X4 system.

Interestingly, the CPU appears to be cooled by a standard heatsink and fan, which suggests that the new architecture doesn’t produce too much heat, even at 3GHz. The demo system also featured three Radeon HD 2900XT cards.

You raise a point I haven't thought of since Intel debuted the conroe....

Intel's (prior to conroe) mostly ran hotter than AMD. Much hotter. I bought an AMD X2 back in the day because it was (much) cooler and (slightly) faster than a prescott.

Just wondering out loud if AMD can dig themselves out (they better hurry though...) with another cooler, faster processor.

I think they will get back up... the article where I read this said that at load, the X4 was at 50C. I think AMD can get to 3.6GHz before they need to improve cooling.

Wheee AMD my all time fav. is working its way back to the top

hope they make it better than present Intel's C2D, always have been rooting for them. Can't wait to build a new AMD machine

Got any more info? (source/link?)

Jess Stingray · Jul 29, 2007

nope, forgot link...

there is a nice question 1 how we know that the amd Engineering sample is a phenom?? or that it is a x4? and if they can produce a steady cool working 3ghz phenom why din't make any for public? plus just a vista x32?? i like the facts because i really love the amd products and i don't think that they will show us a 3 ghz whell we wait for the 2 ghz

It was definitly an X4 phenom, that text is copied from the source.

psyko12 · Jul 29, 2007

I think that the phenom is not only limited to 32 bit, Im sure it has 64 bit capabilities or maybe more?

.... It's a future processor....
