Phenom X4,AMD,OverDrive

@ 2007/11/01

We know that in Nov.15 HD 3800 will begin to sell. But we still don't know that RD790 and Phenom X4 will come out earlier(than the AMD plan) or not.

Here is some news that every AMD fanboy would like:

AMD is developing a software called "AMD overdrive". Just like nTune, it can adjust different system values. It's interesting that we find out the software can adjust multiple frequencies of different cores independently.

Personally I think that's good news for people that cares about the total power consumptions of their computers. They can just turn off some cores while they are watching DVDrips.

It would be significant for tweaking individual core, like anything else you are as good as the weakest link. And, this might do wonder when CPU with 8 cores become available.

but will this have significant impact?

The software is the interesting part, imagine users can adjust individual core speed based on their strength and weakness. A single weak core won't hold down the performance of the others.

seeing superpi it's just a tad faster then a AM2 based X2; buth with 4 instead of 2 cores....

The test bed is the same one in yesterday, also the same Phenom X4 OC to 3GHz, same 790FX ( Gigabyte MA790-DQ6 is already selling in Guangzhou about CNY2588,about 346USD ), 1Gx2 dual channel memory in 375MHz x2, WinXP. But we adjusted the memory to 3-3-3-9-1T.
