Default Thoroughbred Overclocking Preview

Overclockers Australia has managed to get their hands on some, ironically, underclocked developper Athlon processors based on the upcomming Thoroughbred core.

The new core features a die size shrink and many other improvements, the most noticible is the fact that it runs at a mere 1.6v, and thus allowing much less heat to dissipate. The guys over at OCAU manage to overclock the 1900+ that they received to an amazing 2.1ghz.

As you can see the Tbred die is smaller and looks much like the new Durons. As mentioned earlier there is no change in core height that I can detect. Two other noticeable things are: resistors previously found on bottom of packaging have been moved to the top; and the core no longer has the batch/stepping information written on it. Otherwise the CPUs are identical to my eye.


Definetly worth a read. Check out the full article here.
