Hey guys, Saw this awesome little article on Extreme Tech. Engineers have managed to take an AMD “Trinity” APU and reduced the CPU portion to a pre-fetch/decode unit, while the GPU is used as the main computation unit. This brings massive gains in floating point performance as GPU’s are massively parallel processors. These engineers out [...]

I noticed there was no high quality version of this video. After searching all over the web, I finally found a german version, updated with the global foundaries logos. I took the audio from the low quality one, and overdubbed the higher quality german version. This is why some words on the screen are in [...]

AMD has been spotted showing a laptop using the upcoming trinity APU. Trinity is shown being able to run a game and a 720P HD movie at the same time without a hitch. This will be an excellent contender in the ultrabook/notebook sector to Intel’s “Ivy Bridge”. Some models of trinity is rumoured to be [...]

I was messing around tonight with my 555 X2 unlocked to an X4, and I opened CPU-Z to find this: That is the oddest CPU-Z glitch I have experienced so far. Unlocking CPU’s does weird things to your software

AMD Stops Shipping Phenom II

One of the best valued AMD chips has stopped shipping to retailers and etailers. Phenom II covered the whole performance spectrum at a low cost and allowed for major tweaking on all fronts. Core unlocking, and overclocking allowed the budget user to turn cheap CPU’s into real performers. These processors are what fueled my drive [...]
Bulldozer Is Not So Bad

Yes, Bulldozer fell short of expectations. Any AMD fan can attest to this. However in the big scope of things, it is not a slow processor. It was just not the step up from Phenom II that AMD needed. Here is a clock for clock comparison review I found. This shows Bulldozer in a very [...]
