Yahoo Breaking AMD's K10 TDP
Thursday, December 6, 2007 by PPV
A post on Yahoo Message Board called AMD's ACP as Fake-o-watts. AMD claims that its Average CPU Power or ACP is a more realistic measurement of power usage with its four-core K10 offerings compared to Intel's measurement.
Two versions of documents from AMD shows that the K10 has a power problem.
The original document, Version A, AMD shows three TDP: 68W, 95W and 120W.
On the new document, Version B, the values have increased to: 79W, 115W and 137W.
Is this one of the reasons why AMD didn't release the 2.6Ghz Phenom this year?
This is really a bad news for AMD fans. Should they wait for a fix or change camp to Intel's Core?
