AXIA? Confused...

[Guest]

From what I understand, the XIAs are the newer Athlon chips that are much better for OCing. If I were to get an Athlon 1.33Ghz, am I guaranteed a XIA since the 1.33Ghz chips are fairly new?

don't thinks so as they've been sitting on em for a while

It ain't falling in the water that kills you; it's staying in there.

Yes- you are guarranted to get a AXIA. There is no way AMD would sell a 1.33Ghz chip on the old core- it wouldn't run stable enough. Hell, people getting 1Ghz athlon's are getting the AXIA cores now. I ordered a 850mhz Duron a month ago and it's a AXIA core.

hmm i wonder if this means palomino will be AXIA and superoverclockable?

All your RAMBUS are belong t............ ahh screw it

Palomino is a whole different core all together. It can supposedly run cool with just a heatsink. AMD was questioned about that rumor and they said "it runs REALLY cool". The 1.3Ghz AXIA's can hit 1.5Ghz with no problem.

From what I understand, so can the 1GHz. Are there 1GHz "B" AXIAs? I ask because the only 1GHz AXIAs I found were "C" chips, and the "B" would go to 1333 simply bu changing the FSB to 133, and 1500 by changing it to 150, with no multiplier adjustments.

Yes there are 1GHz 'B' AXIAs.. actually.. wait.. I have an 1Ghz AVIA (which is just as good) in the 'B' core.

Have you overclocked your 1ghz Athlon AVIA and how far?

 

[Crashman]

I've heard the AVIAs are good, but will they do 1500?
