Quote:San Diego brings SSE3 support to Athlon 64 FX for the first
time, along with support for mismatched DIMM sizes in its memory
controller, more efficient use of memory compared to Clawhammer and
more performance from its data prefetcher, which pulls data out of
system memory into the processor's caches, in advance of it being
needed.
A lower supply voltage likely means a BIOS update for the majority
of boards and board vendors will likely roll in FX-57 BIOS support
with their Venice and Toledo 90nm changes. Basically a Clawhammer at
2800MHz with SSE3 and some memory controller and prefetcher tweaks,
using around eight million more transistors to get there.
