In concomitanza with the World Cyber Games 2006, the Olympic Games of the videogiochi that they are being carried out in these days in the scene of the automotive circuit of Monza, AMD has carried out the first official demonstration in Italy of the own platform 4x4, famous also with the name of Quadfather. Draft of an endowed system of two processori AMD Athlon 64 FX dual Core, in degree therefore to on hand put of the customer a maximum of the 4 Cores of processore at the same time.
Not only: Quadfather will be able to come dawned, beginning from the half of 2007, with the new processori Quad Core who AMD previews to introduce in that period. This platform, therefore, will become before for systems desktop equipped of support to the 8 accessible Cores of processore from the operating system. In order which reason, according to AMD, a system desktop for the advanced domestic customer will demand at the same time therefore elevated number of the Cores of processore available? The answer takes the name of Megatasking.
These the technical characteristics of a reference board for systems AMD Quadfather:
* 4 Slot Pci Express x16 (shapes to you with marks them electrical workers x16, x8, x16, x8)
* 12 3 channels SATA Gb/s
* 1 connector UltraDMA 133/100
* support to technology NVIDIA MediaShield
* Support RAID: RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and JBOD
About the "RAM issue" :
Also,forum member of THG,said that :This last image evidences two particular elements: the first one is the cooling impeller mails on the dissipator of heat of the mosfet of the feeding circuitry: it remembers very close give those supplied in equipment with several cards Asus mothers, and this can leave to mean which it can be the partner to which it has been entrusted the construction of this card. In the second place we find Corsair memories of the Dominator series: draft of solutions DDR2 of the type Unbuffered and not ETC Registered, characteristic that confirmation as AMD has constructed the platform 4x4 thinking to memory DDR2 Unbuffered therefore to privilege the latenze of access. We remember as the platforms Opteron Socket 1207 pin demand necessarily use it of memories ETC Registered of type DDR2.
As far as the specs; from the horses mouth (Brent Barry of AMD),
4x4 will ship with 2 DDR2 slots per chip and WILL NOT USE REGISTERED RAM. The first ASUS mobo only has two video slots but they said they wil be adding 2 when the new nVidia and ATi chipsets come out.
The expected launch is next month. I forgot to ask if there would be DIY sales but I would say that it own't be long since most real enthusiast power users (home) want to put there own PC together.
He also hinted that future versions may support more than 4 GB RA
