first official benches I see, K10 is coming in the mail on release day.
30K is a 2K5 score :rofl:
Theo is mistaken
Intel is good for decoding
AMD used to be good for 3D'ing
Strange when people found it was totally possible when C2D results appeared showing 21s PI 1M @ stock when an AMD record was about 22 or 23s....
But now people find it impossible for a CLOCKED new AMD to beat a clocked c2q in 3dmarks...
Just a thought.... can't say that those numbers are true or not... no fanboyism here...
You are believing what exactly then? Your own self concocted belief that somehow they are going to revise how scores are evaluated when Barcelona launches? Stop being an ignorant fool and try to learn when someone points you in the right direction.
Take that 3Dmark calculator and enter the SM2, SM3 and CPU scores of ANY 06 project you want AMD or Intel, it will not matter. It will match what is reported in the link as the final score. Why? Because the calculations used to deliver your final score are INDEPENDENT of what hardware is used.
Here, go ahead

do a search for ANY project you want with ANY hardware configuration, and take the SM2, SM3 and CPU scores and enter them into the calculator. See for yourself. It will match what is posted.

Woot. No DDR3 for me. No way Im paying that much. Good news just in there if the Inq makes this :)Quote:

Right. People just seem to want to think that AMD sucks horribly, will never catch up with intel, who rules all and is god of CPU tech and can never be dethroned again, etc... I don't get it. Intel got kicked off its high horse for 3 years, finally gathered its pride and rose to the top again. No reason why they can't get kicked again, and really it would do the market good for them to get kicked - keeps both companies on their toes, don't want just one dominating the market (tho some ppl around here seem to want it that way for some strange reason...)
Your better than this guys...c'mon.
Phenom FTW???
That is the question...
I think Phenom is going to be good (at least it better be or AMD is done) but I highly doubt it at 3Ghz is going to out do a 5Ghz Kentsfield with the same hardware. I do hope in fact that is is faster because competition is good for everyone. It drives prices down and forces the competitors to develop even faster hardware. And in the end, it's us the consumers who will reap the rewards :)
Like Gautam and some others said, the change in SM2 and SM3 scores has to be factored in. Does this calculater know what those scores will be on a new platform? I guess not. These are INDEPENDANT factors. :)
Now that leaves the question if the 2900XT 3d score can really change that much in a new platform. Probably not but I'm not sure either.
Let's all wait and see in about ten days.
One more thing, if this personal account by the Inq is untrue - let's never post anything from them again here shall we?
I know what he's saying and I agree with Guatam, but I also know that when it is released that the same version of the calculator will be able to calculate it's scores as well. Yes the SM2 and SM3 scores will go up, but I seriously doubt that they are going to go up that much with a 3Ghz Barcelona. I'm really think that the person who made the "claim" or what have you made a typo and is referring to a 05 score not an 06 tbh.
I agree, it would be hilarious if they switched 05 for 06 though. I will then methodically hunt down the Inq and ignore every new posting from them. As a good hardware forum, we should do that together. :cord:
But untilll, then, let's wait and see. Only 10 more days.
Stop acting like idiots. It's 3DMark05 score, not 3DMark06 like Fugger already said.
