Bulldozer, codename for the all new processor core from AMD that has beaten the world in CPU speed and set a new one, all of 8.429MHz. That is the extensively over clocked frequency of the processor. The normal frequency is 3.6GHz. This is the future of computing as we know it. No surprise coming from AMD as these are the people who introduced us to Accelerated Processing Units earlier. The bulldozer, unlike others, is not an improved version of the K10, it has been build from scratch. It’s all new technology. The CPUs based on the bulldozer cores were introduced in October 2011. For the server segment AMD released the sixteen core Opteron processor codenamed Interlagos as well as a scaled down four to eight core version codenamed Valencia.

 

The bulldozer core supports all the instruction sets used by the Intel processors besides supporting new instruction sets proposed by AMD. This makes this core a very powerful and future ready component for any processor. There is a lot of scope for over clocking this CPU for the enthusiast, the gamer. The operating voltage rating is 0.775V to 1.425V. The processors are going to be shipped with 8M of L3 cache which is shared across the 8 cores (16Mb for the 16core versions of the CPU). The sharing will allow better faster communication between cores. Memory support for DDR3 is provided. Ranging from 3.6GHz to 3.9GHz this CPU will be backward compatible with Socket AM3+.

 

AMD has started shipping the next bunch of Bulldozer based processors namely the quad core FX-4170  (with a base clock speed of 4.2GHz) and the 6 core FX-6200 with a frequency of 3.8GHz. When this was announced it was also announced that the existing Bulldozer core based would see a price reduction. So now you can have one of these cutting edge processors for as low as $105. The HD video rendering, 3D gaming experience, extensive multitasking everything is set to become that much simpler and crisp.

DiY computer Advantages

When you build your own computer there is no denying the fact that you will save money. You are buying parts directly from the vendors and saving labor costs. A large company goes to China and floats a tender for parts. The lowest bidder gets the contract. These parts may not necessarily be the best parts available in the market. On the other hand when you go into the market you have the advantage of knowing that you are building the system for yourself not for a person without a face out there in the crowd. You want to make it the best system in the world, within the budget that you have set for the project. So you go out and look at the best parts as well as the not so bad ones. Then you do a cost comparison and figure that the best is about twenty percent percent more expensive. You go back to the design board and figure you could do with a slightly not so large monitor or maybe pair the computer to the home theater systems speakers, or some other part, like say the cabinet, not being as swanky and expensive and use that money to buy the better quality slightly expensive part. You are in control of the quality of your computer.

Most users do not need a floppy drive any more but vendors will have none of it. You have to have one. Ditto for a DVD writer, how many times do you use a DVD writer in these days when you have over 200GB on a thumb drive and TV sets, car stereo systems that can read those drives directly? 1998 was probably the last time you used a dial up modem to connect to the internet. On the other hand you could always do with a couple of extra USB ports in the front of the case and maybe two on the monitor as well. You have a way to leave out things you will never use and toss in things you know will make the user experience that much cooler. You save money by not paying for parts you never use on your system.

Since you are the one putting it all together you know exactly how to take it apart, get a part shipped and put it back in. No need to pay the local handyman for a simple DiY job.

When you want to upgrade the computer you are that much more confident and educated about which parts you can swap out. Memory, drive, network interface, CPU are parts you would upgrade atleast once before you go out and build yourself another one of those babies.

You also have control over what software is installed on your machine. Not having to pay for and lug around bloatware when you know of software that can do the job for free and weigh a hundredth of the celebrity software, case in point Microsoft Office versus Star Office.

Since you are building your own system you know where you’ll be placing it. In other words you can choose the cabinet that fits in just right, not have to break down walls or alter furniture to accomodate that huge case that the budget PC came in.

Building your own DiY computer has the advantages of control, economy, efficiency, satisfaction and a lot of fun.

The 8 core CPU release date-list will be a huge one. We can list several CPUs with physical 8 cores and/or virtually 8 or 8+ cores by dint of the blessed dual registrar sets available with physically present four, six, eight or more cores. The first 8 core CPU release date (of course by Intel) declared mentioning all the cores were by then dyed within 65 NM thickness and now the hyper threaded processor dye shrinking towards 9 NM ranges as Intel dyes Its newest processors these day and declares the total dye thickness lowered more, below 9 NM during their declaration of upcoming 8 core CPU release date.

With reference to the Intel website regarding 8 core CPU release date, the first core two Quad processors with double registrar sets introduced 8 virtually active processing cores for desk top users. At the same month of the same year there was another 8 core CPU release date, during which was declared the laptop processor with 8 active core processing.

The first Core i7-860S, 930S, 980S, and the Core i5 750S models, all with active 8 core processing compatibility during quarter one of the year 2010. By that time AMD had also declared 8 core CPU release date  for their Athlon II X3 440, Phenom II X6 1055T and 1090T, all these processors also did support 8 core processing with a couple of registrar sets doubling the core count dyed into processor architecture. From here up to January 2011 Intel had fixed no more important 8 core CPU release date but AMD went on announcing several 8 core CPU release date s until Intel began to release their i7-2300 to i7-2600 models on the very first quarter of the year2011. Within this period AMD had been busy upgrading their processors with raw boost of frequency and had forgotten to increase the power efficiency level of their new age processors.

After June 2011 started to come in the 8 core CPU release date of energy efficient AMD processors branded as A6 and A8 models with their laptop versions capable with an energy efficiency level for fitting into mobile computing devices.  On the 4th quarter of 2011 AMD had brought in 8 core CPU release date for the AMD FX series with their new “Bulldozer” architecture that truly was capable to compete with Intel processors in terms of both frequencies and energy efficiency. Intel in the meantime had declared only a couple of 8 core CPU release dates. The only advantage AMD still has over its supreme competitor is not only the price now. AMD proudly now are able to put their rival behind with the processing speed exceeding benchmark experiments done during previous 8 core CPU release date.

By January 2012, there has been a strong enthusiasm among users of Intel processors regarding the “Nehalem” architecture in 8 core CPU release date to be held soon. This architecture features include a thinner all core dying of only 9NMs and power drainage reducing technology that gives Intel a truly upper hand in laptops and makes people eagerly wait for Intel’s 8 core CPU release date ahead.

Both Intel and AMD have their plans and technical achievements to come in future and play significant roles while they pull the curtains off the cutting edge new processing tools from their factories on their upcoming 8 core CPU release date.

8 core CPU i7 can be demonstrated as Intel Core i7, the 2nd generation processors. Being the No 1 rated processors worldwide, the 8 core CPU i7 is also accepted globally as the top choice for computer lovers, gamers, programmers and audiovisual editors. These 8 core CPU i7 processors also are great performers for today’s servers responsible for huge traffic and numerous user loads. The most technologically advanced microprocessor architecture “Nehalem” unlocks turbocharged superfast performance with steadily controlled over clocking in the 8 core CPU i7 Intel Extreme editions having built in visual chips, higher frequencies with greater cache size and needs no mention, smart multitasking.
Two basic types of 8 core CPU i7 are available these days, the second generation 8 core CPU i7 and the 8 core CPU i7 Extreme. Basic features for both these processor types are same except the enabled over clocking available with the Extreme editions only. A list revealing the best of the best 8 core CPU i7 available models is provided below.
8 core CPU i7-3960X, 3.30 GHz, 15 M cache and 130 Watt Total power drainage at the recommended price of $999-$1059, recently used to be the best choice for desktop systems ever provided by Intel. Laptop equivalent models of this superb 8 core CPU i7 processor are i7-3960(2.70 GHz) and i7-2920(2.50 GHz) both having 8 M cache and total power drainage of only 55 Watts enabling these two excellent 8 core CPU i7 processors as best laptop processors before the 4th quarter of 2011. Intel recommends a price of $1096 for both these processors.
This isn’t all. Intel has something better and newer to offer with the Extreme editions of 8 core CPU i7 range. The three models elaborated above don’t have the latest unlocked over clocking feature that enables the processing frequency rise above the Turbo boost mode with the cutting edge cooling options available for both desktop and laptops. The models listed below have the latest feature available within. They are 8 core CPU i7 processors having unlocked over clocking frequencies enabled. These are latest 8 core CPU i7 models released by the later 4th quarter of 2011. The Extreme 8 core CPU i7 range offers the real up to date cutting edge technology. The owners of these 8 core CPU i7 models can really claim themselves as the users of world’s BEST processors.
The 8 core CPU i7 extreme range offers Core i7-2960XM processor Extreme Edition with 2.70 GHz base frequency, 8 m cache and 55 watt power drainage giving it compatibility for laptops. The other Core i7-2920 Extreme is as same as its regular 8 core CPU i7 version with the special Extreme feature of over clocking. The top desktop model for 8 core CPU i7 Extreme is the 8 core CPU i7 3960X processor Extreme edition. 3D max benchmark tests rated it as at least 150% better than its predecessors and rivals, this one probably is the best choice for a desktop gamer or visuals editor.
All the models except The 8 core CPU i7 -3970X in this segment has built in visual chips called Intel HD Graphics 3000, tailored inside the processor itself. This very model is constructed focusing on raw power, not energy efficiency or removing visual dependency on video-cards. This one should be great for raw basic programming power from 8 core CPU i7.

8 Core CPU Laptop

An 8 core CPU laptop doesn’t need to have eight physically existing cores to give the performance of those 8 cores. Both Intel and AMD Quad Cores are sufficiently low power consuming and quite able to perform operations just as good as any 8 core CPU laptop. The reason behind this assurance comes with a brief definition on the latest architectures implemented in both the giant’s manufacturing technique. Both “Sandy Bridge” and the “Bulldozer” architectures support two sets of registrars allowing hyper threading up-to its latest advancement and turning the system potentially into an 8 core CPU laptop or desktop. This is the simple and non technical answer to, “Why the quad core processor systems show eight cores functioning in the CPU usage diagram?”.
Looking for the best processor for your 8 core CPU laptop? The answer is obviously any Quad core Xeon series from Intel. And the funny fact behind this is, none of the Xeons have 8 cores built in. Half of those eight cores are virtually active and effective because of the new processor designs. The power efficiency is also the best up-to these days. Whereas AMD has previously been about total performance and not thought to be competitive in terms of power efficiency before. Now with Bulldozer, a redesign from the ground up AMD aims to head back in the race for power efficiency, specifically with 8 core CPU laptop computers.
HP, Dell, Lenovo, and other manufacturers have hundreds of 8 core CPU laptop models to offer in prices starting from about $600 to $4500, and Up-to $6000+ for custom made covers / casings and additional system upgrades.
You’ll have to buy an 8 core CPU laptop choosing from a large list of laptop manufactures, providing quite a larger range of models from each of them. As for an example, the Toshiba (Superior) with AMD Quad core and 17.3″ screen Notebook is nothing less than the Toshiba (Qosmio) with Intel core i5-2430M and a 17.3″ screen Notebook, and there is also a faster and costlier, Toshiba (Erie) Intel core i7-2670QM, 15.6″ screen Notebook. The top most sold Toshiba 8 core CPU laptop is the favorite, Toshiba (Portege R835-P84) Laptop with2nd generation Intel Core i5-2435M Processor, 640GB hard drive, 4GB system memory, and 13.3″ HD TruBrite LCD display . All the four models are built and sold by Toshiba and You are the one to think why at first and then decide which to buy. Please consider that, Toshiba ranks at NO. 4 in the list of best selling manufacturers of the 8 core CPU laptop. The best selling companies manufacturing 8 core CPU laptop are arranged like this, HP > DELL > Lenovo >Toshiba. The models described above exist for the sake of an example to the Idea only.
According to your needs you can select one from hundreds of available 8 core CPU laptops offered by any of the renowned 8 core CPU laptop manufacturers. But while configuring one yourself, the best option is to choose different 8 core CPU laptop parts in the customizing section from the manufacturers website and this way you will be able to take most out of your money but have to spend almost double of what you could have paid for the better choice from the existing models. Ask for an example. All the laptop manufacturers give option to their customers to select their chosen skin or casing features at a comfortably minimum added price like $100-$250. But configuring or simply adding another 16 GB DDR-3 ram to your custom made 8 core CPU laptop is going to cost you at least $1500 more, when you can simply decide to change the model and buy a better or richer version with such addition to your budget.
