(mini review) MHz per MHz from Phenom II 940 vs QX9770

Hi everyone, on this weekend i tried to play a bit with AMD Phenom II 940 compare with Core 2 Extreme QX9770 for performance per MHz between it at same clock so clock speed is i test at 4.0GHz and run 3DMark for compare, ok let to see what happen from it :)

AMD System...
Phenom II 940@4.0GHz
ASUS M4A79 Deluxe
4x Crucial Ballistix PC8500@1066C5-5-5-15
ASUS HD4870X2 Top@832/1000MHz
WD Raptor
GIGABYTE ODIN 1.2kW
Vista SP1

Benching results...

Biostar TP45 HP
4x Crucial Ballistix PC8500@1000C4-4-4-12
ASUS HD4870X2 Top@832/1000MHz

Thank you ! :up:

nice work zolkorn :)

Doesn't that just go against what all the review sites said? :D Thanks for posting this.

wouldn't it of been better with a X48-X38 mobo since that one runs @x8 in CF

but nice review

Very interesting Zolkorn...:up: Though, P45 chipset is not the best possible choice for CrossFireX.
Maybe an X48 motherboard would be more representative for a relevant comparison.;)

No one complains about the 16x8x8 link on most X58 chipsets. I know it's a little different but I just haven't seen that big of a difference betweeen x8 to x16 unless you're at high res.

Very interesting.... but who would buy a QX9770 today:confused:

Nice work and thanks for showing me my next cpu

Wow I ready didn't think AMD 940 would win, nice work :clap:

good work, i've been waiting for a clock for clock comparison.

True but he is only running one 4870x2, so it will run at x16

gpu-z says 4 gpus enabled

I totally agree with ya.

in vantage the gpu score:
AMD: 25445
INTEl: 21831


An almost 4k difference id say would be due partially to the pci-e bandwidth especially for 4 gpu's if you look at vantage the gpu scores between the two are quite different. I'd say run the tests with both using the same pci-e bandwidth.

thats only when 3 cards are used other wise is dual x16 bandwidth. For 4 gpu's which gpu-z is claiming are enabled i think the bandwidth is more of a factor.

I like how you carefully kept the CrossFireX display line out of the pictures for the AMD setup, but you forgot about GPU-Z displaying the GPU count. Not any good, even as a mini-review, when you deliberately are messing with your results.

Nice review man. But you could just post results at the end even thoe there are screenshots. I had to scroll up and down to compare, then going back to remmember it etc etc :) Come on :)

What's up with the big jump in GPU performance? HT, PCIe bandwidth?

AMD system is using 4 GPU's an INTEL is using 2 and a Half :up::down:

ขอบคุณครับ

:confused:

Thank you for all comment :)

well for some question or doubt with this results from i testing, so on intel system i'm enable CFx same as AMD system too if don't enable CFx it'll impossible is 3d03 can did 100k

one more with Pci-e bandwidth i'm understand too and i'll tried for intel system on X48 or X38 mobo with DDR2 again about next weekend and will come to update results again too

Best regards :up:

English dude... English ! :D

btw. ขอบคุณครับ (kob koon krab) = Thank you

nice testing zolkorn :)

not sure about biostar P45 board but with Gigabyte there was bugger all difference between P45 and X48 in scores so bandwidth probably wont be that big a deal imo

คุณ Zolkorn

ขอบคุณมากครับสำหรับรีวิว...ว่าแต่ว่า...ลืมภาษาอังก ฤษซะ 555

Sorry For My Thai.... pom pud pasat Thai dai nit noi krab

ขอบคุณครับ ;)

Nice to meet you here :)

ZoLKoRn, I appreciate your effort, but your mini review is not very usefull. Can you try some real-world apps and games? And try to set equal DRAM clocks and latencies.

Oh, and BTW, nice setups and clocks. :D

Try real programs, not benchmarks :(

I would like to see some gaming comparisons, but zolkorn is a bencher so I see why benches were a part of his review.
