AMD überrascht zum Jahresauftakt mit zwei neuen CPUs. Darunter ein neuer Phenom II X4 aus der 800er-Serie, der bei genauer Betrachtung viele Fragen aufwirft. Mit dem Phenom II X4 840 will AMD sich gegen die kleinen Intel-Prozessoren stellen und greift dabei neben einem höheren Takt auch zu anderen, fragwürdigen Mitteln. Wir geben Antworten.
Today we have published an interview with AMD's Matt Davis. Matt works in Product Marketing for Desktop Solutions and provides us with some detailed and hugely interesting opinions on AMD's current and future products.
After several weeks testing and trying out Intel's Core i7-2600k Sandybridge processor, there isn't a whole lot to say other than it's relatively cheap, it's fast and it's extremely overclockable. When a processor comes in just over US$300 and is this fast, NO ONE can complain.
What do you do when you can't sleep at 2 o'clock in the morning? I don't know about you, but these are the times where I would just take out my laptop and get some work done, so I can slack off during the day. As I type away on by brand new Lenovo ThinkPad T420 I got just a few days ago to replace my beloved but aging -- and unfortunately, murdered by Yours Truly -- ThinkPad T400, let's talk about the idea of 'change' at this unholy hour of writing. Change is consistently happening in the world around us. Whether it be the Obama '08 campaign slogan or the recent news of Osama bin Laden's death in Pakistan carried out by members of the United States Navy SEALs, one thing we can draw from our observations can be be rounded up by one famous quote: "Change is certain, progress is not". I'll let you ponder this in a political and human progress context -- but in the technology world, change is progress, right? My recent upgrade from the T400 with a Core 2 Duo P8600, 8GB RAM, Radeon 3470 hybrid switchable graphics, and 9-cell battery to a brand new T420 with a Core i5-2520M, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA NVS4200M with Optimus, and a 9-cell battery is an unquestionable change and progress on paper. Faster number crunching? Check. Better battery life? Check. Plays games? Check, and add a 'surprisingly well' to that, too. But better screen? Not with the infamously griddy AUO display I got to experience first hand. What I am trying to say is, while the "change-is-certain-progress-is-not" attitude generally do not apply to the world of technology, this is not always... certain. It is true when we reviewed the Intel Core i5-2500K earlier this year, change was certain, and progress is unquestionable. But what about its little brother, the $138 Intel Core i3-2120? Did we make progress despite the fact you can't overclock this little monster? To answer this question, we took one into our labs here at APH Networks today, and see how well this CPU -- where its formula of taking an i5-2500, keep its clock speed, chop off two cores, half the cache, delete Turbo Boost, and add Hyper-Threading, performs against the current enthusiast favorite, along with the i5-750 of the last generation.
Mit einiger Verspätung stellt AMD heute seine erste APU-Notebookplattform "Sabine" für das Mainstreamsegment vor, womit die neue Notebookplattform für "Back-to-School" in den USA gerade noch rechtzeitig für diesen Produktzyklus kommt. In diesem Zeitraum, kurz vor dem Beginn des neuen Schuljahrs bzw. Semesters von Ende Juli bis Anfang September, stellen immer mehr Hersteller - auch hier in Deutschland - ihre neuen Notebooks vor. Nach Problemen mit der Ausbeute an funktionsfähigen 228 mm² "Llano"-Dies, die im 32nm-SOI-Prozess bei GlobalFoundries in Dresden gefertigt werden, sah sich AMD gezwungen, den Launch zu verschieben und stattdessen die kleineren APUs basierend auf dem "Ontario"-Die vorzuziehen. Die APUs der C- und E-Serie hatte das Unternehmen bereits auf der CES 2011 Anfang des Jahres vorgestellt.
Heute ist aber endlich die große APU an der Reihe, die zusammen mit den restlichen Bestandteilen der neuen "Sabine"-Notebookplattform auf den folgenden Seiten diskutiert werden soll.
Technic3D hat die AMD A8-3850 Llano Desktop APU im Test. Kann mittlerweile auf eine diskrete Grafikkarte verzichtet werden? Mehr dazu im folgenden Review.
AMD's Bulldozer architecture is still a few more months away, but now we at least have new APUs to tinker with in the mean time. And while Brazos APUs were aimed at 'surrogates' like nettops/netbooks, the new Sabine and Lynx platforms are more full-fledged and intended for real PCs: mobile and desktop, respectively.
It has been a while since AMD has revamped their CPU lineup. New Graphics Cards are introduced on a regular basis, though mostly their silicon motherboard processor variants are not. Mostly a brand new breed of CPUs goes hand in hand with the launch of a new CPU socket. And if the end user is really unlucky the RAM and CPU cooler need a swap too. It has been over 18 months since AMD introduced their hexacore Thuban CPU. So it was about time to give an answer to Intels SandyBridge lineup. Or why not even aim for Intels high end socket 1366 Gulftown lineup. With every new CPU release, speculations rule the various forums. How the design is gonna be, performance expectations, die size, TDP,.. you name it and has been dealt with on the tech sites. On the 12th of October AMDs new born CPU core baptized Zambezi, for the desktop PCs and for the servers Interlagos and Valencia will see the daylight. Let's open the press kit.
If you're unsure as to what Bulldozer and the FX range or processors is all about, then we suggest you take a look at our article explaining the ins and outs of it. If you are aware of what Bulldozer and the FX range is all about, we still suggest that you take a look as some vital key information is listed, including something that you may have missed. The article focusses on the complete range of processors in the line-up and clearly goes into detail about the technology that makes it up and what simply makes it tick.
AMDs „Bulldozer“-Architektur ist Neuland für jedermann und es gibt noch viele Fragen zu klären. Wir sehen uns den Turbo, das Feature „CMT“ und den Windows-8-Scheduler genauer an. Dabei wollen wir klären, in wie weit der Turbo effizienter unter Windows 8 funktionieren dürfte, denn dort soll ein optimierter Thread-Scheduler besser mit der AMD-Architektur zusammen arbeiten.
