Erosannin Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 They apparently are going to war against the multiple cooling solutions offered for desktop computers if we take a look at this news. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/FX-9000-Piledriver-FX-8770-Vishera,22873.html That is just insane!

Psywar Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Wow... 220 W.. TEC's might be worth doing again now..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Trying to overcome Intel's Sandy/Ivy/Haswell per core and overall performance and efficiency through brute force Strangely there is something novel about a 220W TDP processor in today's world.

Psywar Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Strangely there is something novel about a 220W TDP processor in today's world. I feel like the Vantec Torndos might be poking their loud little fins back in for some cooling on these lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erosannin Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Wevsspot I still count low power consumption in the Efficiency part of the processor technology. I doubt that 220W TDP is coming from a near zero power consumption.

d6bmg Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I think it is just another nonsense article. A processor with 220Watt of TDP will require something very big for cooling - which is not possible at all.

EuroFight Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 I would call BS on that, I'm not sure an AM3+ board would be able to supply 220W of power to the CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black64 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 My first thought was what kind of OCing can these new CPU's achieve? 5.5? 6? 7? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 If they get that high they will probably need a dedicated power supply and auxiliary power connections on the motherboard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBags Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Yeah.. I'm gonna throw in with the bull crowd. AMD may very well be preparing some new higher-clocked models to somewhat answer Haswell, but not this. Obviously, that TDP is ridiculous, but they also don't fit AMD's naming scheme. FX-4xxx => 4 core /2 module FX-6xxx => 6 core /3 module FX-8xxx => 8 core /4 module an FX-9000 doesnt fit this profile for an 8 core chip. in addition, compared to their previous FX flagship chips, the 8150 and 8350, we're likely to receive a refresh with the moniker 8550 first before any 8770 or 9000, and the highest they'll likely go would be 8990, for an 8 core. Now if they came out with a 5 module/10 core FX-10xxx, that i'd like to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjloki Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 If they get that high they will probably need a dedicated power supply and auxiliary power connections on the motherboard i can do that ! ,....amd stocks are climbing on the NYSE today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
