For the doubters of independent core clocking.

Interesting but what is the benefit other than power consumption?

not being limited to just the slowest core
by setting affinity you can choose what progs run on which core, and with independent clocking, you can have the more intensive progs run on the faster cores and less intensive on slower cores

Yes. Very nice. I'm curious tho, on what proc that may be using. If its one of the 2 due out this year yet, it appears to be VERY exciting news for AMD users.

Friggin sweet. Means I can dedicate the fastest core to SETI, and the slowest core to running desktop and crap..
Wait a minute.. Ill be running SETI on all cores.. nvm ^-^. Still, its an awesome feature imo

Sweet! Lets see Penryn do that! 
*(Execpt all 4 cores on a penryn will do 3.6+).

oooo, gonna be interesting to see how the AMD vs Intel works out this round..

seeing this makes me thing they can do it that way cause of the HT bus... there would be no way to do this on intels current NB-cpu buss. would be kinda cool though, not sure its that usefull. even if one core is say underclocked the motherboard would still be pulling a lot of power from the 12v rail.

i'd bet this kind of thing will only be availible for FX chips. we'll see though.

So, are we expecting someday someone will yelling "My other 3 cores are fine at x.x Ghz, but this particular core "y" sux, can not reach Prime95 stable !" LOL
ROFL all to soon I'm afraid

actually, I think this feature was announced last January, it's not limited to FX chips, it's a chipset limitation though. Current AM2 chipsets probably can't control the cpus in such a way, and we'll need AMD 790/780/770/whatever or an alternative next-gen chipset to control the cpu cores independently.

well, not exactly, AMD's are 790FX and 770
nVidia is 780... and i don't know what the other is...
but yeah, i get your point

So is the Multiplier unlocked?

what kind of cooling would you need for a 3.3 @ 65nm?
