newbie amd64 question
Okay realize I am a total newbie to AMD CPUZ
Well I recently purchased amd64 3200+ 2.2ghz newcastle socket 754 cpu and Asus K8N mobo with 1 gig pc3200 ddr sdram I am totally satisified (content for now ) with default clock speeds and settings , but I am having a bit of trouble grasping the difference between the Intel bus design versus the AMD64 bus all the multipliers and options in the bios/motherboard seem to be a lil different then what i am accustom to could someone please direct me to information or explain ( remember i am a newbie to this ) the differnces between the Intel and AMD 64 I want to attempt to overclock someday as of now i am running everything in Bios settings as default Please help a newb out of a jam ! |

You cannot compare the two directly; AMD has an on-die memory controller, while Intel still uses the Northbridge chip for FSB I/O to RAM. AMD uses Hypertransport bus while Intel does not. Simply put, AMD is a more robust, elegant solution for getting data in and out of the processor. Other factors play in; on an Intel platform, the L1 data is repeated in the L2 cache, effectively reducing the size of the L2 cache(s) by the amount of L1 Data cache. In an AMD system, the L1 data cache and L2 caches are exclusive, so more data moves through the L1/L2 gate per clock cycle. Some AMD processors overclock better than others; the speed of your ram, the design of the motherboard and the System BIOS also play big roles in overclocking. Bobby |
