Nice job! I'm planning skip Yonah, get Merom when it comes out.

Nice job! I'm planning skip Yonah, get Merom when it comes out.
fugger,try pinmod if it works! u don't have to wait satarosa paltform!:banana:
Also, it seems that Merom's 3 SSE2 units are for INT only, whilst the two FPs are capable of issuing x87, scalar SSE and packed SSE2 instructions.Quote:

Not saying that Merom's FPU is weak by any means. It's actually much stronger than anything out now, only that it's INT capabilities are even stronger.
I've been reading some posts over at Aces, and it MAY be that Conroe/Merom can issue 6 DP FLOPs per cycle for INT, and I guess 12 SP FLOPS.
If true, thats amazing :eek:
Nice info
Thanks Fugger
yay fugger. good job on the benchies
Carfax,
Based upon comments by intel of not having non-destructive instructions (meaning that one of the operands is changed) the ability to have 6DP ops isn't likely. That would imply they use FMAC units to make 2 of their pipelines identical which conflicts with statements made by Intel. Nonetheless, having a 128-bit FPU in a laptop is really something.
Fugger, can you run the 32-bit (or preferrably 64-bit) version of Science Mark2. Nice work. The media apps are heavily optimized towards SSE2/MMX, and it's upon the first that Merom's true potential will be realized.
I am waiting on Yonah mobo atm.
I will have to get confirmation on SM2 runs, I dont want to show anything thats is not already in public domain.
heya fugger, have you tried Merom on the AOpen i975 board already? thanks and great results you got there!
