Speedway Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks Mr. Obvious I should have been more specific and asked if we the consumers would be able to disable 6 of 8 cores and try for some monster OCing? Not that I would want to, heck I won't even disable HT to see if I can get higher I know that this isn't about anything involving the consumer, and all about a World Record. Maybe the title should read "AMD disables 6 cores on their new 8 core BD CPU and Breaks the Record" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 TurboCore2.0 disables cores automatically but maybe they will release a tool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercuryDoun Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Could it just be that CPU-z has no clue how to read BD's architecture, i mean the whole 2 core in each module thing could be fairly confusing actually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it seems correct 2 cores = to 2 threads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryDoun Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Well it seems correct 2 cores = to 2 threads? Yeah... so CPU-z is reading one module correctly... what about the other 3 modules? Maybe CPU-z is just confused! Or they disabled 6 cores, who knows! I still hope BD beats SB. On a per core basis i can see it losing to SB, but overall, I'd like see a video conversion or perhaps like 3DMark11 or anything that can fully utilize all 8 cores, I'd really like to see the BD win when its 8 thread vs 8 thread.

Didn't it say in the article that disabling 3 modules helper get to 8+Ghz? Lol only first revision too (Will the 95W version help?)

Black64 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I am getting sick of these fake benchmarks popping everywhere, AMD needs to just release BD already! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I am getting sick of these fake benchmarks popping everywhere, AMD needs to just release BD already! I think we'll see something shortly. Cray already has their Interlagos shipments rolling in...it's only a matter of time before we see Zambezi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TheAlexO Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 It also says 56w TDP. Can someone quote the article where it says only 2 cores were enabled? I read the article and don't remember seeing it. Reading on my phone, that might have something to do with it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the article and don't remember seeing it. Reading on my phone, that might have something to do with it though I dont care about the quote, so much but I did the same as you. I red the article, but i was at work, must have glazed right over the part about 3 modules being disabled lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
