Looking really nice there. One thing you have to remember is whatevers good at spi1m never really pulls it @ 3d benching, however im waiting to be proved wrong :slap:

Dothan IS very good at Spi and 3D..........

yup that's what I was getting at

VID codes go from .875v to 1.5...All within the requirements of Conroe. It's not that the BIOS doesn't support the code, the BIOS doesn't support the voltage

so, yet another day passes without any new benchmarks :( . All we gets is a SuperPi, but that can be extrapolated from Merom already. I guess well probably have to wait for the weekend before anyone will get enough time on a Conroe to really get some substatial numbers others then a few synthetic tests.

Look at it this way, if it weren't for XS we'd be waiting for months. :stick:

Good luck with the 975:

Section 3.10...Especially the footnotes. May be SOL

EDIT: Beware datasheet is Merom, SV requirements are the same as Conroe

Holy shat! Nice work Victor. Impressive indeed! :woot:

if you really want to show off and ruin amd, you should run the N-bench benchmark (by amd)

http://www.amdboard.com/amd_n-bench3.html

im running a 2.2 dothan w/ 2x512 800FSB 2-2-2-5, and i beat an athlon x2 3800 (2.4Ghz) by 10 points in cpu score. I can only imagine what kind of damage conroe could do.

this is mine (with my old 9800pro)
conroe will be off the charts!

Wow I just read the whole thread, too bad results are still slim. Hope you guys can get some PI going soon, nice to see the next big thing so early. :woot:

Product Change Notification

Description of Change to the Customer:
1. Updated to the 0618 BIOS.
2. Added support for future processor architectures. Added ten
resistors and two capacitors to the bill of materials.

you need 10 resistors & 2 capacitors to make it work! Now you just need to find out where to place them, to give the CPU the right signal to fire up.

BTW, you didn't answer my post before about the 0403 BIOS (unreleased BIOS) for the P5WD2-E Premium. (Has anyone tried that? )

Well, back to the drawing board. Thanks Victor, now I have 2nd toughts on getting a 960 and the thing is that I just ordered my Tuniq Tower 120 this morning before this thread started so I guess that's on the bright side for when I get a Conroe.

Good work Victor, thanks. :toast:

For more information see:

RealWorldTech - Core Microarchitecture

SSE4 was originally a new extension/instruction set originally inteneded for Tejas, but once the decision was made that process/arch. would not scale much higher in clock (physics limitations), there was an abrupt discontinuation of this project (recall the news :) ). Anyway, the instructions are now located in Core, but are not intended to be significant in many ways so Intel has not really marketed as something new or cool.

wow not a bad Pi run. This Conroe is a beast indeed but could you run some 3D?

As has been mentioned before I would love to see super_pi 32M.
This would force the issue and rule out the large cache helping out.
32M would not fit in cache and therefore would stress the cpu and memory bus.
Still, I feel a strong urge to invest in my "home office" system.;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

he already did a 32M run, but the results were going very well so he stopped. Probably nothing new gonna be posted till tommorow, and I doubt anyone with a Conroe is gonna spend the time to read the last 200 posts and see what yall what them to bench either :p:

no 32M???

Well, they (Conroe owners) only need to read the last 2 posts to "see what yall what them to bench".:p:

bios still need to be updated.
the system performance not so stable.
sometime fast and sometime slow.
pi_32m running very slow, so I gave up the test.

some other test result may aslo be incorrect.
sisoft cpu_alu=16784
sisoft mem bandwidth=23xx

mem bandwidth 2.3GB/s?? something IS wrong

WOW Killer 1m PI times on these chips Victor, thanx for sharing that.:slobber:
Dying to see the 3d numbers...
