Michael, which connector you use on AM1 (VGA, DVI, DP, HDMI)? I having some vertical transparent lines when i use DVI (VGA is OK) when i testing games but only with one particular resolution - 1024x768@fullscreen . And that can not be seen on screenshot

Originally posted by brent View PostFYI, you don't need to do that at all. K10 CPUs implement p-state switching in hardware. The responsible model-specific registers can easily be reprogrammed from userspace, and the kernel cpufreq governor will still work as before. Tools like TurionPowerControl or k10ctl allow you to do it.
EDIT: Even better I can use my VIDs from PHC directly with k10ctlLast edited by s_j_newbury; 20 April 2014, 07:07 PM.

In most tests the old Phenom is a lot faster than the new Athlon (sometimes twice as fast, e.g. in John the Ripper:md5), i.e. AMD's CPUs IPC hasn't really improved for seven years. Meanwhile Intel's CPUs sport almost 50% improvement in IPC.
At least TDP has improved considerably (25W vs 65W), but that's not a relief when competitor's CPUs run 30-100% faster depending on tests.
Some times reading for content is advisable.

Bloody hell, my big box has an X3 710 in it and these things almost match it on x264??
That's what my box does, sit there and encode and serve video and host VMs.
And the heat sink required to cool quietly is the size of a house.
Can these little things do device virtualization? (AMD IOMMU, Intel VT-d)
