X4 PHENOM taken to 3GHz

Would be nice to keep this thread clean. On the other had, I was looking at the eggs reviews of the 9500 and its like a war zone with all of the fanboys from each side. It's calm here compared.

Have to admit I was tempted on the 9600, but I'll wait for the BE and a better varity of mb.

Cleaned up a few posts.

I have a reference score with 3GHz Yorkfield using the same GFX clocks and its 300 points less (ran under WinXP32bit though)...

Here is another Yorkfield comparison score at 3GHZ (this one is with OVCKed FSB & RAM) (by Sampsa);

Pretty close match, eh? :D

Saw this in the 3dmark section. Very nice and on a slower OS!

That is just amazing!,
congrats to you sir! :clap:

Sorry for my probably stupid question but what is it supposed to show?
Is there a huge difference between a yorkfield at 4GHz and a Yorkfield at 3GHz for the same setup 1 HD3870 and the same bench?

Oh boy here he comes again :rolleyes:
The second SS in maccis's post is taken from Sampsa's OC test of Yorkfield with an 3870.You do know who Sampsa is,do you?Somehow i think you don't..
If you wish to question Sampsa's integrity,by all means do it :ROTF: .I know how it will end,for you at least :p:
The Yorkfield in question had OCed FSB and Ram,so it matches pretty closely the situation macci made with his Phenom and RAM.

The Phenom in macci's last post was OCed with 11.5 multi,which represents the 9600 model and is done with Black edition 9600, with a multi set to that value(11.5).This is what i understand from his last few posts.

The point is that Phenom@3Ghz is faster or close to Yorkfield at the same clock speed in this particular test.

[[STOP THE PRESSES]] Are you trying to tell me that you finally found a bench were a maxed out phenom comes close to a stock yorkfield. Have you alerted reuters?

Just kidding witsha, but you did seem to cream your pants at this rather below average score lol

:rolleyes:

3GHz Phenom = 3GHz york in this test. What's wrong with that? Theoretically a Phenom at 3.5GHz then could equal a 3.5GHz york. If so, it would come down more to how much you want to spend (and whether you are a fanboy of one or the other).

Don't know what is "below average" about the score either.

YOU ARE RIGHT. I have never looked at it that way before, Just cant wait till the wife gets home so I can tell her to cancel that q6600 and order me a phenom from santa. Yes yes I know that th q6600 will hit 3.5ghz with ease but at least I know that my unstable power sucking buggy phenom would be just as fast it it could have got to 3.5.

I have seen the light:rofl:

Ah,gallag has just found a way to post in here :p:,let us leave him with a struggle to comprehend clock Vs clock comparison in this test:p:

Is it usefull to go back to flaming?

o.k guys. I am sorry for taking the p1ss a bit. Ill refrain from posting in this section until there is something positive to say, because it seems that saying something bad about AMD is worse than naming a teddy bear after the prophet Mohamed (or drawing a picture of him)

You either didn't read what I said, or you are just looking at things through those blue tinted glasses :rolleyes:

No, and I hope it doesn't come down to that again.

since when does an air cooled chip equal to maxed out? LOL i say LOL :D

5GHz Yorkfield (with exact same GFX setup) scores 26k. So yes its a benchmark that scales VERY well with CPU power (even with 1GFX card).

I dont have both systems. the Yorkfield result is from sampsa. Its the same GFX driver version and exactly the same clocks though.
I'll run another loop under WinXP later. Or we could run the Yorkfield under Vista (which would result in lower score)...

A 3D mark 2005 validation would be nice.

coming as soon as FM adds Phenom CPU support to their ORB (right now I can upload the result but cant publish it).

thanks.

@macci: do you know when Futuremark will add Phenom to ORB??
I want to post my scores with CF as soon as possible :)

i don't understand this.. really.. everyone can see that the intel cpus, for now, outperforms the phenons.. why keep posting this over and over again? is like some people feel smart posting the obvious? i suggest keeping this thread as a phenom performance discussion thread. thanks.
