The test is conducted with the first AGP dual-Opteron motherboard that reached the marketplace a month ago: the Arima Riowork HDAMB ____________________________________________ 08/04/03 - Latest Opteron AMD chipset guides online - AMD-8111 HyperTransport I/O Hub Data Sheet - AMD-8111 HyperTransport I/O Hub Revision Guide - AMD-8131 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel Data Sheet - AMD-8131 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel Revision Guide - AMD-8151 HyperTransport AGP3.0 Data Sheet - AMD-8151 HyperTransport AGP3.0 Revision Guide ____________________________________________ 08/04/03 - OCInside overclocking database update Huge update of one of the biggest OC base concerning AMD processors. The OCinside database has more than 4800 entries for almost every single AMD CPU. That includes Opteron, Athlon (every cores) but also K5, K6 and even older! Visit OCinside overclocking database here and check for more overclockers bases and information here ____________________________________________ 08/04/03 - Siggraph 2003 at San Diego coverage "AMD's Siggraph booth was showcasing workstations based on AMD's Opteron, from reputable resellers like Alienware and BOXX. In addition, over at the nVidia booth, the representative we talked to proudly announced that all of the demonstrations workstations were powered by the AMD Opteron and nVidia's nForce3 chipset. This comes to show the power and influence of AMD's Opteron since its release in April 2003. Hopefully this will eventually translate to wide-spread appeal for the AMD64, but from what we were told, Windows XP 64-bit is slated for sometime in 2004."

Athlon FX. This chip is intended to replace Duron and, thanks to half of the cache of normal Athlon, will allow to have a much better yield and less waste. According to the same report, AMD is also considering a Opteron FX... More details at Adrian's Rojak Pot here ____________________________________________ 08/04/03 - AMD appoint 3COM CEO Bruce Claflin AMD today announced the appointment of Bruce Claflin, president and CEO of 3Com Corporation, to its board of directors. Mr. Claflin was elected at AMD's board of director's meeting on Friday, August 1. "Bruce enhances the composition of our board and brings a wealth of knowledge and complementary industry insights to our team," said W.J. Sanders III, Chairman of AMD. "We will leverage his highly respected expertise of the enterprise computing market to help us develop our strategic thrusts into this segment, while delivering higher performing semiconductor solutions to the world's leading companies." ____________________________________________ 08/04/03 - Arima A520 K8 first Athlon 64 Laptop Thanks to Alex, we have now here the final specification of the first Athlon 64 laptop. The A520 K8 is coming from Arima, the maker of some of the most desirable Opteron motherboards, the Riowork HDAMA and HDAMB. Obviously, Arima is willing to bank on big names reluctancy to invest in AMD64 technology and this is surely how small companies grow at big ones' expense... A true lesson!

Providing the necessary energy, this forgotten PC lung, can be very noisy and unsufficient for all kind of ordeal Mister PC might encounter. Sudden voltage peak, increase workload, excessive ambient temperature and other factors have an influence on PSU's behavior. Chosing the perfect one is far from simple and AnandTech has done here, a good part of the job with a massive PSU roundup where stars (except our favorite the newest Global Win SAF320 running at a cool 22dBA) are showing their talents... Great! ____________________________________________ 07/31/03 - Motherboard & Barebone: reviews of the day 1 - EPoX 8K9A9I VIA KT400A at AMD Zone 2 - AOpen AK79D-400 nForce2 400 at PC stats ____________________________________________ 07/31/03 - Tyan unveils its barebones "While Tyan is traditionally known for the mainboards and graphics cards it pushes through distributors Altec, Rectron and Digicor, its latest strategy is to combine these products in what is almost a complete rack-mounted server solution... The manufacturer has spent the last 12 months developing the ‘Barebone’ products, which began shipping in May. What most excites Tyan, however, is that within a month it will be able to make available a Barebone system that supports AMD’s new Opteron 64-bit server computing platform. ".

The results are impressive: Dual Opteron 244 is on par with QUAD XEON at 2.4GHz, 2X faster than DUAL XEON at 2.4GHz in 32Bit and 2.4X faster in 64Bit (First benchmark in 64Bit even though it's still under NDA!). The report also praises AMD's offspring for its stability, low temperature, and the high performance reached with software not even optimized for AMD64. Test 1 is here, Test 2 here, the conclusIon in a French PDF here translated here (note that waiter in the translation means server) ____________________________________________ 07/31/03 - 939 pin Athlon 64 will be AMD's green giant "These only are preliminary figures through channel partners, but by the second quarter of next year, twin channel 939 pins will probably reach the 3,000,000+ shipments. The anticipated shipments of 754, 940 and 939 CPUs in Q1 of next year are around the 1,250,000+, 32,000 and 250,000+ level respectively.".
