gouber5585 Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 AMD K9 What are your thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 I wouldn't hold my breath... AMD doesn't even have one over 3Ghz yet. Though... if the K9 doesn't come out till sometime in 3067, it might be possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Long way aways to worry about that right now, but could you imagine playing some of todays games at that speed good lord Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trios Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Long way aways to worry about that right now, but could you imagine playing some of todays games at that speed good lord There would be no need for a good video card...a 4MB PCI card would work, the CPU can render everything for you, and it would actually look good!

O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 With a nice motherboard and ram, that would make an insane server. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 keep waiting. cuz that's a cute rumor. saw stuff like that about the k7 and k8 cores... never happened Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raife Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Even if its true (hopefully), remember the eternal problem. It is never fast enough! By that time the applications will require that much more processing than today's apps. Remember when we all were blown away at reaching the 1.0 ghz bar. Fun to think about though.

FanATIc205 Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 they just put out the k8 series so the k9 is a few years off alot can change in that time. i saw a amd roadmap the other day that had bartons going up to 2.5ghz 3800+ pr gives us nf2 board owners hope of better overclcoking barton cores Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Umm yea lets wait till AMD gets to the 3 ghz mark b4 holding our breath for 10 ghz.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Or, let's pretend where 3 and play pretend.... 10 GHz isn't needed! It's not about megahertz of the CPU overall, but about bus speed. What if they made 3 GHz CPUs with a 1.0 multipler? A 3GHz FSB. Imagine the speeds of that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 True that!! The bottleneck of a computer is the FSB. A lot of ppl always try to O/C the processor the farthest they can go.. and forget to bother with the FSB. I don't understand why they do that?

DevilMB3017 Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 It's not only FSB, but RAM timings and other buses as well, but other buses are run off the FSB most of the time. Maybe instead of moving further and further in clock speeds, we should take a step back and get a new RAM idea. RAM as basically been the same for ever, only the packaging as gotten better and therefore the chips are faster. DDR and DDRII are nice steps in the right direction, but maybe RAM as we know it should be bulit out of a different material or a different design concept totally.
