Feature changed by: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) Feature #309719, revision 7 Title: Backport AMD X6 TurboCore fix from kernel 2.6.35 to opensuse 11.3 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon) Description: I am presuming that opensuse 11.3 will be fixed at kernel version 2.6.34, which contains poor/buggy support for the TurboCore features of the new AMD X6 processors. It would be a great shame to have the eight month "top-shelf" life of opensuse 11.3 marred by lack of support for an enthusiast class feature of their hardware. If you have purchased a new computer you don't want to find-out that running the newest release of opensuse will lose an aggregate of 1500MHz of performance. This bug has been fixed in the 2.6.35 kernel: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Performance-problem-in-AMD-s-Phenom-I... I would very much like the opensuse kernel team to ensure that the fix is backported into the kernel due to be used in 11.3. I appreciate this may already have happened, so considere this a heads-up. :) Kind regards Discussion: #1: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon) (2010-06-08 14:05:39) more here: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Kernel-Log-Linux-2-6-35-taking-shape-1... #2: John McInnes (jamjamjamjam) (2010-06-12 22:27:21) I agree, and I would even like to see it backported to 11.2. The Phenom X6 is very popular already and is selling so well it is on backorder at most outlets. (yes i have one :) ) + #3: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) (2010-06-14 17:50:49) + I personnally would be very interrested by this one also on 11.2, + (11.1?) + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309719
