You people do realize that posting stuff from OBR is not allowed on XS? Just a heads up.
I have video's proving he's an idiot, but who needs proof of that :ROTF:
wow so the old crappy B0 is able to get 6.5ghz from a guy whos trying to make it look bad. cant wait to see what B2 does in the hands of our crazy members
i wnat to see C0 in my socket. :yepp:
Attachment 119308
seems it is possible. :yepp:
Q1: Why should an A1 Stepping be better then B2 ?
Q2: Why should CPU-Z show the Phenom2 logo?
Q1 could be answered in the best case with nasty deactivations from AMD to control leaks. But Q2 is not solvable. CPU-Z should show one of these logos:
Attachment 119315
Note that these screens were just a test with an AMD X2 240 and a virtual machine to see CPU-Z's behavior.
Anyhow, the Phenom2 logo is definitely wrong -> fake.
Opteron, please look at the CPU-Z version...
on that same site is says when translated. bios and power supplies were to blame for earlier revisions. or something like that the google tranlations is very very very bad.
there is also some hidden info on that site that can only be seen if you register and post.. ....................... have not tried though.
Example: "Bulldozer and then check the performance of eight threads can not pay would in 9000, the main reason for the test problems is power supply and motherboard BIOS issue, bulldozers high demand for power, and now the BIOS only 60-70% of shipments performance only."
Doesn't make much sense...PSU has nothing to do with performance throttling, unless it means motherboard PWM which would just blow up or throttle CPU clock.
BIOS I can understand...but would again throttle CPU speeds, which should show in monitoring progs
its probably just a really badly way to translate that the 800 series boards were not good enough for BD
Have peeps seen these?

Whats the score here?
This was posted 2 days ago i think. It looks fake, 223 TDP doesn't sound right at all. also it's obviously an old ES since CPUz is showing 8130p not 8150p, IMO.
shows FX-8150P getting a 6.87 score in CB 11.5.... what does i7-2600k get stock? 5.48? is that correct?
Attachment 119324
edit: so this score = i7 2600k score
http://www.guru3d.com/article/core-i...600k-review/14
if this will be real, than is not much good. Because PII redesign x8 at 32nm and simillary clocks could be 100% better!And die size would be the same. (Thuban 1100T working behind rendering only at 3300 MHz and hit 5.95 points, this FX worked at 4200 MHz and achieve "only" 6.87 with +900 MHz clock and +2 more cores...So, wtf?:confused:)
PS: Thuban at 3.9 GHz has 7.02 points....
I dont know, it may be not fake...Maybe still BIOS problem or microcode or maybe real performance. Who know....
If it is real, Then AMD are shooting themselves in the foot, by releasing an under-performing CPU, that is not what everyone wanted to be! I for one don't think this is real.
hey I found the die is very different compare to the earlier one, isn't it? (L2 cache become smaller or the core bigger? L3 significantly bigger than before?)
http://semiaccurate.com/assets/uploa...r_Die_size.png
http://www.legitreviews.com/images/n...ie-diagram.jpg
it looks like the green pictures are just taller than the pink version which looks nearly perfectly square
so how they came to the measurements may still be wrong
Do you think AMD will be releasing a chip they call high-end performance desktop CPU and which brings back the FX name again if it was slower than the predecessor? One hint about performance is the rumored retail price.Just compare this price of roughly ~300$ with Thuban 1100T price of 190$.IF you count in that usually the new stuff is priced a tad bit higher ,the difference is from 40% to 57%. Performance should be in line with this.
For reference look here:
http://www.hardware.fr/articles/778-14/moyenne.html
AMD needs a chip that is 38% faster than Thuban @ 3.3Ghz,on average, to take the performance crown (until SB-E comes). I believe they will do just that(as literary have the chip that is around ~1.30x-1.5x faster than Thuban in client workloads).
the other screen is showing a high voltage for lower clock speed. 1.414 for 2.8ghz and 1.296 for 4.2ghz. -_-
what if that was only 4 cores on bulldozer ?
it's right your sign yet n00o00o0o one cares to look.
everyone else no it's less IPC then phenom II, yet they have no real proof of it.
That would a nice score if it was only 4 cores :)
I wouldn't be suprised if BD FX8 doesn't run far away from X6 in fpu intensive applications. Given the BD shares it fpu they will have lower core scaling then x6. If you compare it to a deneb at 3,7GHz which gets 4,35points. There is a 50-60% speedup for the same number of fpu ex-units.
not saying those numbers are correct, but i wouldn't expect magic for the part in which they made compromises with BD.
Well if it doesn't have decent integer performance and lousy FP performance, then what does it have?
Each floating point unit has 4 pipes. The first two (pipe 0 and pipe 1) contain the units that mainly perform FP arithmetic such as ADD, MUL and FMA, while the other two pipes (pipe 2 and pipe 3) perform the other AVX, SSE, and MMX instructions. When compared to 10h processors bulldozers FPU is more specialized and balanced.
Perhaps everyone should consider that AMD did not release these benchmarks and they might not even be real. Nothing I have seen, to date, has been representational of actual performance.
Was considered and discussed from what I saw...............you have to realize speculation is all we have to hold on to after numerous BD delays and poor performance rumors, not to mention the 90 day mark announced at Computex is hitting next Tuesday and not a peep from AMD. If BD is ever released or official performance data is released the speculation will stop but not until then. These delays are not looking good and no word from AMD, so the speculation will weigh on the negative side of performance until AMD proves otherwise in my opinion. Even you left doubt hanging with "might not even be real. " .
Beside, what else is a bunch of hungry sharks to do after missing several feedings. I guess we could go eat elsewhere, experience the taste (beside hype and false promises) and talk about the food there. AMD should be happy this BD discussion still exists and everyone didnt jump off the AMD ship............ although the time is nearing.
It's not as if you guys are entitled to information about it just because you want to know. They'll tell you when they're good and ready, and that is absolutely both their right and their prerogative.
then it is as well to say nothing ;)
Wouldn't you?:rolleyes: No one here can tell if they're real or not, for one reason or another. Even if it's real, it doesn't have to be representative for the actual performance of the retail product.
Give him a break, you should be thankful for having JF here. Most people here are totally clueless about BD anyway, me included.
Granted, but if AMD truly has something spectacular, it'd be a smart move to start showing off some performance numbers given the proximity to the release date. The amount of excitement seems to have really died down. That's not to say I'm neither excited or optimistic about it, just the silence does not look good. Intel moving SB-E to a 2012 launch date I think is the only thing helping right now, which if they are bluffing and release it when originally planned... Well, I'm just thankful the chances of that are slim.
BD top chip at launch is going to be 10% slower on average than Intel's 2600K. I've said it and I stand by it. There has not been enough IPC improvements to overcome Intel's SB. It will do fantastic in
multi thread programs, but not so good in programs that utilize one or two threads.
How about you quit acting like you know everything and acting a fanboy. Wait until the damn product is released before coming to conclusions please.
Nobody went around talking about Conroe like you do Zambezi so I suggest giving it a rest, no? You might be suprised that AMD has a competitive chip, or maybe you are just afraid of AMD being competition.
1100T @ 4ghz scores the same as a 2600k stock in pcmark i think it is. we all know 2600k is 3.8 turbo at stock so how bad is 1100T again? BD is gona smoke them all. i use to think 6 months ago that BD would land between 2600k and 990x but i think different now.
all things being equal for even 1100T and 2600k gpu ram ect..... in games there is what maybe a 10fps difference... still dont see how that is getting smoked,killed, omg loook at that intel go.
heres a really good one >>> but i have a i7 .... ok. then they show you cpuz @ 4.5 and you see there cheapo ram (not that ram makes much diff on a 2nd gen i7) and some 5350 or a 450 or lower gpu and they think that there system is pWn or someother term they have learned.
ok done with my rant and letting out my AMD koolaid. LMAO
tell us what we don't know about BD
AMD reveals new details on upcoming Bulldozer chips
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/computers/...e_skin;content
lol probably less than that, it's the GPU that makes the difference. my P2 x6 runs every game I throw at it smoothly, even at stock 3.2ghz.
I rarely convert audio or compress files, or do anything very CPU intensive I mostly game, so if you gave me both systems with the same GPU I probably wouldn't even notice the difference.
Personally, I prefer not to put all my eggs in one basket. Makes for less of a mess later on.Quote:
BD top chip at launch is going to be 10% slower on average than Intel's 2600K. I've said it and I stand by it.
What kind of logic is that?
-10% on average it cannot win any multithreaded application!
Because if it would win by 20% in multithreaded you won't reach 10% slower on average.
So you probably mean -10% on low threaded applications? Well guess what, AMD has 10-20% clockspeed advantage on anything using 2-4 threads. (which is the majority of the desktop applications). Even phenom2 with l3 at 2.6GHz would be competitive in those applications with that clockspeed advantage. So i see no reason why FX8 8150 wouldn't be competitive in those applications. It will be a different matter for the FX4 and FX6 which do not have such a clockspeed advantage between 2-4 threads. FX4 (~2%) (FX6 has 2-10% for 2-4threads)
I'm not worried about BD performance at launch at all. It will competetive in performance and price. But the high clock design could mean that AMD is hitting a performance ceiling pretty soon. How much further can they take the stock speeds? 5Ghz turbo? At one point they will have to start adding power through extra cache or improvements of the core itself. We know that a 2nd and 3rd generation BD are being prepared but it will be interesting to see what road they are going to take there. What we don't want is 4-5 years of AMD on the same arch with not much room for growth.
Let's see:
2600K on average gets 213.4pts. 1100T gets 165.8pts. 10% slower than 2600K for 3.6Ghz Zambezi would mean 213.4/1.1=194pts. This in turn is around 16% faster than 3.3Ghz X6 Thuban according to the chart. Note that Zambezi has 9% clock advantage.
So basically you expect that Bulldozer design,which is a:
-whole new uarchitecture,with many bottlenecks from K8/K10 removed and better utilization of execution units,new redesigned int and fp pipelines,
-33% more cores,
-13% higher Turbo core clock : 4.2Ghz vs 3.7Ghz (which now runs across 4 cores and not only 3),
-higher default clock of 9% (3.6Ghz vs 3.3Ghz),
-somewhat higher IPC in integer/fp(as per AMD)
-better power management
to run slower than Thuban 1100T. Do you see the problem in your logic? Zambezi will not be only 16% faster than Thuban. Turbo core ALONE will get you there,disregarding the effect of 33% more cores or improvements in the cores.
It's not smaller. Llano core is 9.69mm^2 without L2. BD module is 19.4mm^ without L2. If you look only at integer cores then we have 3.84mm^2 for BD integer core and 3.3mm^2 for one Llano integer "core" (or part of the core that does integer execution). Also,if we look at a BD module without the second integer core and without L2 and compare it to one K10 core on 32nm we have : 15.58mm^2 vs 9.69mm^2.In this case (mimicking the scenario of single thread execution within the module),we have all the resources that are shared being used by this single core.This means using the much faster FPU and much better prefetching and branch prediction abilities of the frontend ,all for the single thread.
This is the last of OBR

Nice one maltrabob :D.
Hi Guys,
About OBR, I can tell you there is some genuine BD entries in the CPUZ Validator Database right now and none of them looks like the one he published. Especially regarding the construction of the PSN.
A good proof for what he says should be to validate a dump, even unpublished. If he let me check this dump, I will be able to confirm or not.
Of course he is entitled to his opinion...
However he is shoving it in peoples faces as if his words are the bible...
Not in the last two or so posts, but still.
As far as OBR goes, I can't believe moderator hasn't stepped in yet but then again this discussion seems to be moving in the right direction for the most part :p
@xsecret
Doesn't OBR only have early ES CPUs that are probably stolen somewhere down the line? ...B0 CPU can't really be called a representation of performance like he wants it to be.
Vapor can't be serious. Am I seriously expected to find out all banned XS members and consult the list every time I want to post a link to outside information? I didn't have any clue OBR was previously an XS member until this whole thing for instance. I was just lucky enough not to have posted anything I guess.
Mmmmm. I'm reviewing CPUs since 10 years and I never saw a huge performance gap between any B0 ES CPU and the final, retail step of the same CPU. Changes in features and OC abilities for sure, but not in raw performance. This said, the validator database contains many BD steps, from the first A0 to the latest one (with final PSN), and none of them looks like the PSN on his screenshots.
There is a difference with Bulldozer though.With microcode AMD can tweak and turn off various features of the core.Remember the Barcelona TLB erratum and the BIOS patch that came out to fix it? Now imagine similar thing with Bulldozer,where you can tweak on a much deeper level and imagine that there is nothing wrong-they can enforce many things through the BIOS-from memory accesses to prefetching .Note that Bulldozer also has numerous clock domains that can be controlled.
PS I'm not saying retail Zambezi is now going to magically post some insane numbers.It may very well be slightly faster than what we have been shown. But the only problem with early B0/B1 numbers is that these samples perform usually lower than Thuban (or barely faster). For a FX name baring design with 300$ price sticker,I doubt it will be slightly faster than 190$ 1100T :).
I don't know what to think about OBR. This could be 100% fake, but some of the informations he published are true. For example the launch date. At this time, the press NDA disclosure is planned for the 06 Sept while the retail launch is planned for October, between 03 and 15. The exact date is not yet defined, but it's really October. In the opposite, there is some clear fakes in the pictures he released. The values displayed by CPUZ seems wrong and doesn't follow the current BD dumps I have in the database. He could have a different CPU, but that's unlikely. A single submit from him could be a great proof of everything. I can guarantee I will not pass any informations from him to AMD. I was the first to leak K8 results on the Internet, so I know what I'm talking about :D But there is some more disturbing fake I spotted in his pictures. Like this one (hard to explain, so here is a small picture) :
http://temp.x86.fr/obrfakeornot.jpg
I don't buy the microcode argument. I don't think you can help performance that much.
Didn't some site post that B0/B1 steppings were prone to HTT Flooding under load?
Not sure what you'd do to make it run stable, but I bet the BIOS is putting some clamps unto the core/cache.
I don't really give a buck about all the pre release results and speculation...
The only scenario if Intel SB-E stuck @ 53X average like 2600K....BD that (most definitely) can scale to 6Ghz+ with cold will be the obvious choice for benching this coming winter:)
Time to dust off your venom pot and put the single stage back in the drawer. Lol
Here we are again with yet another piece of confusing information. This is the printscreen of a cached document that shortly appeared on his blog on Tuesday, 17th May 2011: www.maltrabob.com/Obr_popel3.jpg. It reads:
"My bad: I was mistaken ... big time
I was expecting that AMD BD was going to be a fiasco, I was mistaken and declare that it is not. After many years of inferior performance the time has come for some revenge ... Intel is going to be surprised I guess! That`s why Intel is likely to plan Core i7-2800K and similar ones ..."
Unfortunalely I wasn`t fast enough to capture the whole article but I managed to read it all. In general, it was saying that BD is not going to disappoint.
He is like a little spoilt brat with some personality disorder :/
Think about this for a while:
8 core = 300$
300/8 = 37,5$ per core
compare to todays price on 6 cores:
1100T = 190$
190/6 = 31,667$ per core
37,5/31,667 = 1,184
So, 18,4% higher price per core - would this be also the average performance increase we can expect per core?
If so, for 8 core (33% more cores)
1,184*1,333 = 1,578
58% performance increase compared to 1100T when full load on all cores?
Remember the rumors about 50% more performance with 33% more cores? It seems it's likely are true...we can only hope :)
(you also have to account higher clock speeds and support for new instruction sets)
Here's my analogy.
OBR is some pissed off dweeb that can't get AMD review samples legit because he can't keep his mouth shut. For some reson he blames his contact in his local area when in reality it's his own damn fault.
Someone is selling him chips but the joke is on him, it could be AMD themselves, but they are sending him some preety rotten samples, either his contact for chips is burning him and laughing all the way to the bank or AMD is doing it just to have a good laugh.
The term having more money than brains applies here.
As far as JF and his comments towards, well......JF is server not desktop. Not only is OBR out of line, he's an idiot in this sense, when JF makes a comment it is based on his knowledge of server side not desktop.
so let me get this right. in one of the posts above he is praising amd but in all of the others he has been kicking amd in the nuts?
wtf sound like he has multiple personality disorder. All personality's will be listed below
The mean, crazy drunk russian in favor of intel
The psycho, crap spewing psychopath in favor of intel
The bully on the playground that has failed a grade or 3 so he is taller than anyone else in favor of intel
The kid scared of the bully that never tells anyone what has happened and the one time he does its just a tease in favor of amd
