Venice? No this time its San Diego!

[Overclocker550]

w00t amds roadmap now shows Venice in April! I will get an early preview of what Venice will do when diego 4000+ and fx55 come in a few days then ill wait a few weeks and get me a nice Venice, hopefully over 3GHz if amd's new 90nm with copper interconnects works as well as they say

There you go again!



But they just may show up later this month so... I'd keep an eye on those Monarch pre-order possibilities...

The site he used in Asia is Taiwanese. Do I sense some zenophobia merely because he is not Western?

i think your over reacting now

 

[OC Detective]

i think your over reacting now

So what research did you do to come up with the conclusion it was fake?

 

[Steven4563]

i havent really done any resreach but y didnt he reply to the thread at XS or even overclock it. There is such a thing called Photoshop

 

[Spyd3r]

Wow. Thanks for the link. Glad to see that things are moving along and hopefully this is a sign that Venice/SD will be available soon. And maybe SXS will reply sometime to give us more.

Too bad he's under NDA...

 

[Overclocker550]

If he was under NDA he already broke it showing screenshots and superPI benchies

Exactly and if you did take the time to research you would have learnt his previous pedigree on such matters.

 

[c627627]

It's great that he's sharing but:

The chip was not mass produced as far as we know as of yet, so given the additional fact that he's not willing to share any other info whatsoever about this assumed 'engineering sample,' what is it that we can get get out of this?

Now if he had a FX-55 San Diego or a 3000+ or 3500+ Venice and was willing to OC it, that would be something...

But it's all right, it's all right, days are ticking away and somewhere a Venice / San Diego core already exists and its fate is to be OC'ed and put up here, days are ticking away, later in March or early April, we'll find out....

 

[OC Detective]

The information that IS useful from what he has supplied is the capability of the cpu at stock with RAM at 200MHz and how it compares to overclocked cpus to 2.6GHz with much faster RAM. This is indicative of the tweaks AMD has done in the new Rev E. (Some reading between the lines is required on what has been provided and unfortunately some people require things spelled out in black and white).
Overclocking on new rev E's will soon be shown via the Opterons 252's that some people intend buying.

 

[Overclocker550]

It doesnt matter, once the diego 4000+ and fx55 hit newegg, zipzoom, etc people will rush the same day and I bet they will run out of stock hours after they stock em. Some will even take next day shipping. If they work right with current mobos then we will see overclocking results too. Is there even any bios out for venice/diego? If not then they may not work till mobo manufactors make bios updates

 

[c627627]

Agree with OC Detective and admit I just glanced without reading the linked thread .

But most people just want to know 'how high, how high?" and you can't blame them too much, there are stages of the Real World, and so lots of overclockers care about 3 GHz, (can it or can't it) and the Taiwanese leaker wasn't about to pump voltage through his rare sample... heh.

 

[confuzzedamdguy]

well i feel the guy is legit i mean here he is again with yet a nether sample

Just an update to this JeffChen did some mild overclocking on it and achieved 2.85GHz on air at 1.4V. (its on a forum called http://forum.coolaler.com/ for anyone that can navigate chinese text!)

Very nice. Only question are the watts. How is it in terms of heat?

 

[OC Detective]

Unfortunately he used SmartGuardian so I dont place much faith in the temps posted (on air). However he could also run at stock 2.6GHz using just 1.26V. FWIW SmartGuardian showed temps of 29C (but like I said I think it should be disregarded). Looking at his results it would appear he perhaps had the probes mixed as his chipset had a fan running at 5625RPM and a temperature of 44C and the cpu had the fan running at 2136RPM yet the temperature I already mentioned.

 

[Overclocker550]

if what he had was a fx57 then thats a 50MHz overclock, yes stock volts but still it doesnt look like they have any real headroom I would have thought amd's new process with IBM was going to gain them any overclocks, man even the 130nm fx55 can do 2.85GHz. anyway I will wait till a large sample overclock and get the average. you cant make a judgement based on one

 

[OC Detective]

Of course, but you did ask for some overclocking on it! Its not a FX57 its stock is 2.6Ghz. Besides like I said this is mild overclocking it is not at its maximum as you can see from the voltage used and perhaps the temperature (even if you go by the chipset temperature as being the cpu temperature!). You ***** and moan when he does not overclock it and then disregard it when he does! No pleasing some folk.
