Technically you can compare i7 920 to AMD Phenom II 940BE, or if you feel that those are not "same gen" then 955BE, the Phenom II chip is gonna fail hard to the intel chip stock OR overclocked even on LN2 to the 920 despite the fact that its BCLK limited.
Now what are we supposed to do, compare a chip released several months ago to a chip that doesn't even exist in public yet? :rolleyes:
...and I'm the furthest thing from an intel fanboy.
FX 4000 is not out nor do I have accurate numbers nor do I intend to guess.....Quote:

Do you think if i chopped 2 cores off thuban it would be any diff?
Yes i'm very interested how 4 core bulldozer will stack up in the same compare.
Tbh tired of benching intel............
Llano I can do the compare on soon......but I already know the outcome, it's deneb with an IGP tossed in......
Do they really?Quote:

In case of BD, if the single threaded workload is mainly integer, it will be able to benefit from an aggressive turbo (possibly doing speculative execution with the help of the second core of the module too), if the workload is FP (and not AVX), it will be able to utilize both halfs of the FlexGPU, running two instructions in parallel, if possible. I am therefore not particualry worried about single thread performance. Yet. :)
Tbh your not missing out on much, not to many buttons you can push which is why I prefer clocking locked parts or AMD stuff cold. I rarely sell my cpu's unless i have duplicates and I sold my only 5.5 gig 2500K chip......that should say something.Quote:

Interesting. You have any working AM2 boards or spare time by chance? Otherwise I cant hotflash this one because I dont have another board to do it with.Quote:

When AMD first came on the seen they never tried to be better, faster. What they offered was an alternative. Now the market is more "diverse" Diff cpu's for diff tasks.....I don't expect them to make a better cpu in that category, But i sure would like an alternative.Quote:

It may not happen this round, but there are some pretty bright engineers at AMD... :yepp:
What ever happened to Cyrix anyway.... :p:
Cyrix was bought by National Semi in 1997. Was then later sold to VIA ~1999 or 2000.
Just Googled it.

Thanks for the info though! :)
The actual owner of Bulldozer used the latest CPU-Z version available and had HT-Link missing too. He explained it as some technical difference between Phenom and Bulldozer and cautioned that if you see screenshot with some digits there than it's not Bulldozer.Quote:

1. Find maximum multiplierQuote:

That's about all there is to it. No more comparing (for example)
200*13.5
225*12
270*10
300*9
to see which gives you the best balance. Going cold gains stability but not speed. It's all just press a button and hope for the best.
Now will be the first native octa-core and new "modul" design. It will be about die size and performance efectivity.Quote:

Can someone tell me, why Daimler's post was deleted? Were those shots fake? :)
Sandy is being Bulldozered. At last ^_^

PS Post restored. Had to clear some things up.
PSS Can't confirm that this is 100% true, but it's from blog of a real Bulldozer owner here: http://obrovsky.blogspot.com/2011/05/wow-enjoy.html
oh, ok.
Without a cpu-z and a rev version even if thats not a fake its pointless.Quote:

This whole thread is about fakes. Totally pointless...
Also, trusting OBR would be quite short-sighted to say the least.
zalbard nah, at least we have something to argue about till the official release and benchmarks show up. ;)
7.37 in Cinebench 11.5 is BD????
I get 7.14 on 1090T @ 4Ghz/2.6NB.
1090T @ 4.2 gave me 7.42!!!!!!
No way will BD be the same performance as a thuban lol!
Besides - I heard today, that BD is being delayed :( :( :(
You don't even know what speed cine was run at..........Quote:

1. you are comparing your extremely OC´ed CPU to one where u dont even know the clock speed.Quote:
