I think I saw a picture posted (I believe by wild_andy_c) of one about a month ago.

...and don't you mean square they are all rectangular. :p

[The Coolest]

Yes, but the core is really like something 2:1 in the side1:side2

[Luie]

is this some new type of 1.2ghz cpu?lol

[JAWS]

Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing this chip!!

[Goldwing]

I haven't seen one with that high an aspect ratio (length/width).

I would be interested in seeing that one too.

[Luie]

Does anyone have the picture of it? I want to see one too.
It would be very interesting.

I'm sorry don't have digicam... :(

[train22]

what's writtien on the chip? stepping week, type etc...

[oc jason]

the square cores are supposed to be Morgan and Pal cores if you got a MP chip itll be square as those are Palamino's the 1.2MP and the 1,4MP

Tommorow I'm getting my own new HS and I'll post the exact
side1:side2 then...

[The Coolest]

I got my Orb replaced today (FINALLY!!!) and when I took off the HS I borowed I cleaned the core very very well and discovered the steppings!!!

Its AXIA 9, how good is it for overclocking? I know numbers aren't that good...

The size of the core is 15x10mm, is it the standart?

[JAWS]

I'm not trying to be negitive, (lord knows 1.2 is fast) but I had a "9" and it absolutely sucked! I couldn't even get it stable above 1.4. I took it back and said there is something wrong with this chip, and I just wanted a even exchange. Before I called, I made sure they had the AXIA "Y" in stock. The "Y" is SOOOOO much better. I had it stable at 1.533, but it would post over 1.650. If you can, try to exchange it.

[hyperbob]

my 1.4 core is a small squareish/rectangleish purple thing... LOL CPU core fashion:p

[The Coolest]

But what about the core sizes? 15x10mm is it standart or not?
Its color is shiny coperly one...

Honestly I haven't measured my cores dimensions but I'll bet you T-Bird is just like all the rest.

[The Coolest]

Could any one measure his just out of interest?

[FRANK]

It sounds as if you have a standard T-BIRD AXIA, allthough I haven't measured any of my cores, those measurements sound about right. What week is yours?

I have a 1G AXIA-9 that does 1.47 on air.

The DURON cores are about one third smaller than the T-BIRDS cores due to the lesser amount of cache.

I just came across this photo. Although it shows the T-BIRD and the PALIMINO, keep in mind that the DURON core is about one third smaller than the T-BIRD.

This should help;

I forgot to check the week when I was changing HS, when I'll remove the heatsink I'll check and add it the my sig...
My temps are too high for me to overclock :(
I'm waiting for winter to come when temps, hopefully, will drop dramaticly.

[The Coolest]

Any one else with AXIA "9" and got any resaults at all? I'm interested in both good and bad resaults.

Please reply
