Venice Power Consumption Review

Ein hochinteressanter Vergleich zwischen Clawhammer, Newcastle, Winchester und Venice Cores in Bezug auf Stromverbrauch, Verlustleistung und Performance.

Kleiner Auszug:

It certainly appears as if the transition from the 130 nm process to the 90 nm process in conjunction with the use of Silicon-On-Insulator and the dual stress liner technology has been implemented very successfully by AMD. The dissipation numbers deliver a very powerful message, likewise, the new core appears to have enough headroom to scale up a bit beyond the current rating and with refined silicon mixtures probably beyond 3 GHz. The sample at hand was working up to 2.8GHz, even though above 2810 MHz, some errors did occur in e.g. Prime95.

It is clear that the early adaptation of SOI has earned AMD / IBM a sizeable headstart, especially with respect to overcoming the problems with transitioning to yet smaller process technologies. How problematic the next transition, that is, the migration to the 65 nm process is going to be is still up in the crystal ball but the overall technology roadmap does look very promising, especially in light of the successful mastering of the 90 nm process and, by extension, the Venice core which is showing all promises of becoming a champion. Along the same lines, we raise the bar of our expectations for the 4XXX-X2 (dual) core series, we’ll have something on those shortly.

Venice bleibt noch einmal ein Stück kühler als der Winchester, bei leicht besserer Performance (+4%) auf selbem Takt.
Wär glatt interessant zu testen, ob ich einem Venice noch niedrigere Vcore als dem Winchester geben kann...
