AMD to release new CPUs
W
e would have loved to
announce that AMD
has pushed forward their
release schedule for their next
generation Bulldozer CPU’s
however that isn’t the case
and the “new” AMD CPUs are
higher clocked versions of what
we have before. What will be of
interest to most readers here,
will be the Phenom II 1100T BE,
coming in at a 3.3GHz (Turbo
up to 3.7GHz) but retaining the
same 125W TDP. Lets’ hope
this new CPU overclocks even
better, than the 1090T.
This isn’t the only new CPU
in AMD’s portfolio as the
company has introduced a new
Quad Core Phenom II X4 975
CPU which chugs along at an
respectable 3.6GHz (No Turbo
as it’s based on the older
Deneb core) making it the
highest clocked CPU to ever
come from AMD.
The two remaining parts are
Hex Core CPUs in the form of
the 1065T and the 1045T. We will
keep you posted on these “new”
CPUs and take it through them
through their paces once we get
our paws on them.

his year’s Annual MSI MOA
Global final was won by none
other than Team Expandable from
Sweden represented by Elmor
and ME4ME. The competition
was tight with 2nd place team,
from the Ukraine (Represented
by cyclone and t0lsty) who had
the fastest SuperPi 32M time of
the day at 6m 20.688s but The
Expendable’s 3DMark Vantage
score of P37424 was far too much
for all the entrants and thus they
secured the victory. Well done to
these two and we suspect we’ll
see them again next year clocking
up a storm.?
