[Raiden Zero]

I've written an article about all those blanks in the Athlon 64 we had so far. Enjoy it if you like the AMD K8 architecture.

Hammer time

AMD: “It’s Hammer time” Athlon 64 codename “Hammer” became an architectural design revolution. From a single core architecture bonded by a front side bus to a northbridge which implemented a memory controller and southbridge for peripherals the paradigm has shifted to a multi-core design with an ...

Great read. There is one more unicorn for Venice E6: former 940 Opteron Troy core CPUs with half of its cache being disabled.

raiden`s 25 sec 735 ms score: SuperPi - 1M with aAthlon 64 3500+ (Venice)

The Athlon 64 3500+ (Venice) @ 3324MHzscores getScoreFormatted in the SuperPi - 1M benchmark. raidenranks #null worldwide and #6 in the hardware class. Find out more at HWBOT.

This one for example is CAB1E 0629BPMW.
Core is definitely 1MB single core, I already posted a picture of it‘s delidded die somewhere over here. I actually suspect all CAB1E (754/939 San Diego) are actually 940 Opteron dies.

How would that be explained?

Edit:
While packaging today I found an Asus A8N SLI Deluxe. I am not sure if it is fully working (usb ports), I need to test that.
I might sell it or give it away later.
