Retailer lists AMD 12-cores :: Posted by THRASHER2
Magny-Cours Opteron X12 6100
An online retailer is apparently taking orders for several AMD 12-core Opteron processors, as if six cores weren't enough.
The Opteron X12 6164 runs at 1.7GHz and has 16MB of cache and it costs $797, while the 6136 is clocked at 2.4GHz, packs 18MB of cache and costs $808. The slower version runs on just 65W of power, while the 2.4GHz model consumes 105W, which sounds quite impressive.
The X12 6176 is clocked at 2.3GHz and it has 18MB of cache, but at $1,491 it's the priciest of the lot. The 2.2GHz 6174 costs $1,250, while the 2.1GHz 6172 is priced at $1,060.

MSI announces its Twin Frozr II HD 5870/5850 :: Posted by THRASHER2
Now its official
Although both of these cards have been shown during CeBIT, MSI has now officially launched its Twin Frozr II HD 5850 and HD 5870 cards. Both cards are left to tick at their reference clocks but feature a non-reference cooler that should bring lower GPU temps and should pack plenty of overclocking potential.
Although these are nowhere near the Lightning Series, the Twin Frozr II cooling solution with four heatpipes and dual 80mm fans should be a lot better than the reference cards. Two out of four heatpipes are the 8mm-thick SuperPipes that MSI uses on bunch of its products these days. The Twin Frozr II cooled cards should be up to 12°C cooler than the reference ones.
As noted, both of these cards are left at their reference clocks so we are looking at R5850 Twin Frozr II that has 1440 stream processors and works at 725MHz for the GPU and 4000MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The R5870 Twin Frozr II has full 1600 stream processors and works at 850MHz for the GPU and 4800MHz for memory.

Geforce GTX 470 has 215W TDP :: Posted by THRASHER2
607MHz clock
Since the official launch of Fermi is on Friday US / late Friday night / Saturday morning in Europe, we are getting the last hidden details on the of slower of two Fermi cards.
Geforce GTX 470 has 448 cores, packs 1280MHz GDDR5 memory with a 320-bit memory interface clocked at 1674MHz has a TDP of 215W.
This is still much higher than Radeon HD 5870 TDP of 188W, or 170W TDP of Radeon HD 5850, but as long as it's faster, end users won't mind the TDP value. However, 215W is not a small value for slower of two cards and it will generate quite some heat, but with the help of Nvidia's new fan, temperature should be within the normal range.
Geforce GTX 470 shaders work at 1215MHz or twice as fast as 607MHz core clock and the performance of this card should be close to Radeon HD 5870 and definitely faster than HD 5850.
