AMD Socket C32 DDR3 Quad Core Opteron Engineering Sample Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

opteron

I don’t usually unbox engineering sample products, but this one is available for purchase now so I figure what’s the harm.

@iScream90 i’d rather have physical cores then logical cores.

guessed amd, because of the packaging, intel would never use green ones^^

@afterburn13 it’s just a sample and it’s not yet ready. it’s a new processor for the new Socket called C32

@staticxmako why are you so hostile. true intel doesnt sell them ( the new proceessors) to the consumers. they arent for sale anywhere .they are exclusive to the new mac book pros( now that might change in the future). i agree with you macs are overpriced. i would never buy one and i will never owned one. So dont assume i have a mac because i informed you the correct facts. i agree with you about intel too. they are expensive. amd is good performance for fractions of intels processors.

@zappload You know, AMD’s previous Socket F was LGA, so this isn’t the first time they’re using LGA (LGA = land grid array) But besides, using LGA over PGA doesn’t have any impact on performance :P

#25 written by juggernautxtr 1 year ago

they are going LGA because they can get more through put, it,s a space thing to fit more on the chip wafer.
