Sorry to hear this Steven, but I have faith you'll get it worked out. I'm sure its been frustrating on your part. I think the scores are fine, but can't say too much about them until we get a fully functional system. However, I appreciate the effort

Am2+ will debut with the RD790 chipset. I should be seeing them in the next month or so...

Also, I'd like to state for the record: Until we see ANY concrete results from the "BA" stepping Barcelonas, I'll still stick with what I've been told and assume that these B1's will offer the exact same performance in applications across the board.....(with the possible exception of a couple of VERY specific benches).......

After reaching the top of the stairs, I told my friend I felt light-headed and we should hurry up and get out, but next thing you know I was staring up @ the sky with my friend asking if I was ok. Medics took me to the treatment facility in the stadium tested my vitals - my blood pressure was 118/72, 78 BPM heart rate - everything perfectly normal. The nurse couldn't even find a bump on my head =/. Only thing that was unusual was my blood sugar was low @ 72. A big part of it had to do with the fact that I've been feeling under the weather and didn't really eat or rest enough before the game. I'm feeling normal now (besides the fact my neck's a little stiff from my head bouncing off the concrete =P)...thanks for all the concern.
Now back on topic - I'll get my bios out of the lab today and hopefully nothing's damaged on my L1N64 and I'll flash it again with another beta bios otherwise, it's time for a replacement board....again....lol.....

sounds like your a diabetic,if not get checked out..u might be.low blood suger can kill diabetics.

agree plus overclocks on air\water helps alot and not 24\7 worthy o\c on ln2\dice..ty
like to see the relaistic clockable points of these chips for the masses.

I could see how this server will perform with both cpu's @ -100C on my dual headed autocascade, but that wouldn't be too much fun @ default clocks :p:

This means that you and Dave Graham completelly disagree each other and go out to settle things? ;) :P

Just kidding. So, from what we can see, seems that you possibly still have B1s, and so no-one can know about any performance difference, right?

What's even worst: still, no dual-channel, neither NUMA?

At least, the performance bugs can be resumed to this two points?

@Dave: Dave, could you get any news from the split plane and dual-HT boards?

All I'm saying is that until somebody shows some solid evidence that the "BA" cpu's will/do outperform the B1's, what evidence is there to base ANY performance numbers on?

I know, I know. Just kidding, could not avoid it when I saw your post. ;)

But again: now, we are still and "only" locked into NUMA and dual-channel bios problems, is that right?

hOLY $HIT...I think I may have it....I got my modded bios to flash on my Asus and it actually booted....time to install the quads....:cool:

ok...looks like I may need to do some work to get this thing to run....so consider this a false/early alarm...sorry...for now :p:

Thanks for the report s7e9h3n :)

im tuned to see what these can do when they're 100% fit

Is this what AMDs been telling you? :confused:

I'd like to know bcause my uncles been working with AMD negotiating on behalf of his firm for quite a while, in particular for mass orders of Barcelona and they've repeatedly insisted to him quite the opposite (they had B1s for testing too and were not impressed). Only Friday was the last talk they had, and the guy working with him is manager of business development.

s7e9h3n:
Thanks a lot for you info. Please test with LN164 as soon as you can.:D
And can you send me the bios(L1N) to vndiy@yahoo.com?

This thread rocks haha. Talk about a big PITA to get those things working. It's almost like no ones had a K10 core in hand until 2 weeks B4 retail.

lol. Now, I can talk with you in this thread, and my account is activated as hargen. I can upload the test file here. In this test. Whether B1 have some performance bugs, such as lack of out-of-order loading or lack of two 128-bit sse loads/cycle?

The source file and executable files are include in the following zip file.

Barcelona OpenSSL benchmarks

s7e9h3n,

If you have the occasion to boot Linux, can you run a quick "openssl speed" benchmark ? Or anyone else ? I am very interested into how Barcelona performs on cryptographic algorithms and hash functions.

Welcome to XS! :welcome:

I tried your util on my X2 F3 and it says it's not a Barcelona :p: !

Great little test though! I like it! :up:

Here you go,Openssl tested on Barcelona:

It rocks in this test.

Informal: I should have mentioned that I was aware of this bench... The pb is that they just tested RSA with 1 key size, while I am looking for complete "openssl speed" results (representing the 30 or so combinations of algorithms and key sizes.)
