Venice: Doorway to 3GHz AMD?

[gaara]

Moreover, the arrival of Venice sets green light to the release of even faster Athlon 64 processor models. In the near future AMD is expected to announce new Athlon 64 4200+ and Athlon 64 FX-57 processors based on Venice and San Diego cores (San Diego is an analog of Venice but with larger L2 cache).

Sweeet.. When they invent FX-59 is when I'll be going down to my local computer shop and buy a FX-55 (hopefully it'll be $300)

Sigh this makes my 2800+ on socket 754 look like complete shit now....

lol I got a socket A mobile

Yeah I just posted some news about the venice yesterday gaara, not this article though, but it showed how it compared to the winchester version of the 3500+ version the venice, and of course the venice one in every benchmark, It also beat out the FX-53 in 3dmark05 CPU test lol.

Buuut I won't be looking to go AMD64 for over a year, so who knows what they'll have out by then lol

i have a old AMD Athlon xp cpu... Not sure what its true speed it though.....

Oops, guess I missed it, stuff gets bumped here so quickly. =/

It's crazy how quickly everything is advancing, and this just leaves another appealing choice for me to debate.

Toledo...Turion...Venice...Athlon 64-M

So many bloody choices.

I wish they could just combine everything into some super multipurpose CPU, or you could custom order a CPU to suit your specifications. That'd be soooo sweet.

Don't feel bad mate, my AMD is still a 1.3GHz Socket A Duron.

Don't know if it's the doorway to 3GHz though gaara. It's been in the Xtreme system news for a while when someone got ahold of an earlier release. Don't believe the chip wanted to work at -90 temps and the guy who had it at -40 didn't get far beyond 2.8GHz, so the main thing here is with that new dual stress liner that it can go beyond 2.2GHz which the winchester I guess didn't want to do more times than not although of course we've seen OC's that say otherwise
