palomino have thermal protection?. i was just wondering if anybody knew if the palomino had thermal protection.. i was just wondering if anybody knew if the palomino had thermal protection. I don't think AMD can afford to put thermo protection on their chips,...

Left In My Pocket,The BEST Benchmark" ~Tbird1.3@1.5~ "AMD never claimed to have thermal protection in its cpu's at all! So it cannot be viewed as a "failure of AMD's thermal protection" It is in the Palomino. The inclusion if the "thermal diode" in the...

thermal controller is fast enough to execute a shutdown command under a steady temperature rise of the CPU, the mainboard's controller still has too much latency to handle a rapid temperature rise. With AMD's Palomino, a thermal controller on the mainboard...

dissipating +70w) several degrees ºC in less than a second by just landing the HSF on top of it? Plus, there was no proper pressure and absolutly no thermal paste used to make the CPU|HSF contact, meaning it was a very poor cooling solution that probably...

they want to design a chip that has as much of a future. Hopefully they will. It's been nice to see the competition between AMD and Intel. I hope it goes on for years to come. And if AMD doesn't put a freaking thermal protection in their chips soon,...

on their own, unreliable thermal protection solutions. Is it "as good" as Intel's P4 thermal protection? No. Can it mean the difference between a smoked core and a non-smoked one? Yes. hate to break it too you but the AXP has a half-a$$ thermal protection...

AMD going to 9 micron?. I was browsing the AMD website today and I looked at their Roadmap. It shows that the first half of next year they are planning to go to 90nm with the Opteron and Athlon-64 chips...... I took a look around the web and found plenty of...
