AMD to release new FX processor (with AIO)

[d1nky]

apparently this isnt the only thing AMD will be bringing out soon... rumours of a new hawaii flagship card. So ive been reading the 290x isnt the full thing...

also seen this in all the hype, http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/am...with_integrated_pci_express_3_controller.html

why would you need pcie3 on a server cpu?!

The power consumption and TDP of such a thing would be entirely ridiculous, and would require liquid cooling as a reference cooler (unless they want a repeat of the 290X release and having their cards labelled as plasma heated jet turbines)

untill amd do the following they will get no love from me
1.release a chip with single threaded performance 25 to 40% better then the phenom thuban II while keeping the power consumption below 140w
2. throw there entire driver code repo out and fire the existing team and then proceed to start completely over supporting only the 7000 series and up gpus
3. hire some management and PR people that actually know what they are doing

i.e. Bribe forum owners such as W1zzard to ban anyone that talks bad about AMD.

BTW when are we going to see an 8 core based APU?

lol
seriously they should just throw there entire driver code tree out and start over

1. Happening Q4 of 2015 (google it)
2. That will never happen, costs too much money and time, and their current driver team is getting on with things these days
3. AMD already destroyed their PR department, at one point I'm fairly certain they didn't have one. This may be true now, hence the lack of PR that makes any sense whatsoever

if amd releases a chip thats not terrible in Q4 2015 I will eat my phenom II Without ANY mayo

This going to be an AM3+ Part or a FM2+ Part

Guessing AM3+ as theres a bunch of new ones about.

There's also the Fact that we don't know what it Is exactly yet

If we go by the boxart I can surely assume that it is water resistant and thus can be used in my bathtub as either armor for my battleship or a bed of nails for the waterborne t-rex.
Either way, the battle will have its epicness increased.

 

[OneMoar]

I wonder if I can heat my coffee in the radiator( like my coffee about 120 to 125F) tho brew temp would need to be about 200f
if I could do that + make toast on the VRM's I would be good to go in the morning

LOL thats submerged in liquid nitrogen!

Interested in the performance and how many cores this actually has!

you mean "threads"

I really doubt that this will be FM2+ it doesn't make any sense.
Current FM2+ APUs pull 95W and that's with the GPU. without the GPU they would probably pull around 80W so water cooling one of those doesn't really make sense.
They can't release a higher binned FX 9590 because that would cost close to 450$ and would achieve nothing. It would be slower than any i7 and cost more than most i7s.
More cores should be pretty easy to do since the bulldozer design is very modular. However if we look at past water cooled CPUs by AMD the last one was the FX 8150 which marked the release of the FX CPUs and a complete architectural redesing so this could very well be a tweaked 8 core Kaveri AM3+ CPU. The other thing is that the AM3+ platform is still damn good so AM3+ it will be. 32 PCI-e 2.0 lanes and 6 SATA III ports puts 990FX basically on par with Z97.

I suppose it could just be Excavator.

I suppose it could just be Excavator.

But wouldn't that need a new/revisioned socket...for DDR4?

 

[The Von Matrices]

why would you need pcie3 on a server cpu?!

The HPC market is one of AMD's strengths, and the HPC market is increasingly using GPUs (e.g. supercomputers like Titan use AMD CPUs along with NVidia GPUs). GPU Compute workloads are one of the limited scenarios where the extra PCIe bandwidth results in extra performance, so it makes sense for AMD to have a PCIe 3.0 controller it it wants to remain relevant in the HPC market.

 

[GhostRyder]

you mean "threads"

Nope Cores, specifically "Cores"

I suppose it could just be Excavator.

Well at least now we know why all these new AM3+ motherboards have been coming out.

 

[dom99]

I hope they have something epic up their sleeves, I'd love AMD to give me a reason to pick them over intel next upgrade

 

[TRWOV]

A Vishera die shrink would be interesting but I'm hoping it's 28nm Steamroller

 

[HammerON]

Curious...

Well, it seems that nobody has dropped the ball in the cpu support pages (in the global sites, at least).
That new msi 970-based gaming board lacks such page, though.
