K10 scores lower than Kentsfield in the 3Dmark 2006 CPU test.Quote:

Enlighten me how adding another card ( 33% ) more GPU power will make the score jump 100%.
Even assuming linear scaling that's not possible.The same for a mild OC ( air ).
You mean 100%. 200% increase of 15k is 45k. :)Quote:

If your that mezmorized about it, go buy a 486 and calculate 32mb and amuse yourself for a week or so at a time.
Wheres the rendoering tests, all out gaming benchmars, 1024x768 scores with games, etc...
or even 3dmark? Lets see something run a REAL benchmark and not an indicator of how well your Intel CPU works.
AMD enthusiasts know AMD doesn't take the crown in super pi, why would we care? If it runs games quickly , VM's, servers, rendering, etc...
Please someone help me to understand this worthless benchmark beyond the realm of stability testing is so touted to inflate someones online ego. It seems every single thread on Phenom just ends in kids crying about super pi scores.
Well said...... ;)Quote:

Look at the UT score , CPU score , aaarghhh...terrible.
http://www.expreview.com/news/hard/2...8206d6758.html
to bad they havent underclocked the A64. :(
would have been nice to see how they compare directly on the same platform.(at least for singelcore performance)
You will buy $300 cpu to play in 1024x768? $30 sempron/celly will be enough I guess ;)Quote:

We wanna car hi :D
Yeah, pretty lame, GP-7000 is 7% slower then Q6600 while having 20% less clock... terrible, terrible :rofl: :rofl: :clap: :welcome:Quote:

at the lower resolutions like that, namesly 1024x768, your CPU is used more than at high resolutions. FPS at equal speeds with another CPU is an indicator of performance.Quote:

Intel has SuperPi,Quote:

SPi is useful for stability testing I guess...
That about as useful as either benchmark gets. Thats what I was referring to.
3DMark scores don't not scale linearly with clockspeed. The GPU has a far bigger influence on the score than the CPU. :rolleyes:Quote:

7713 / 2400 = 3.21 points per MHz for C2Q.
5830 / 2000 = 2.91 points per MHz for Phenom X4.
Spin that. :up:
Superpi has become an anachronistic piece of software, especially in an age of multi-cored processors. It's more entertainment than science. I currently place almost zero percent real-world stock in the program.
I hope AMD get there act together soon before all benchmarks become useless.
hopefully if k10 kicks ass, performance will be important again?
didnt you know all benches are faaaar away from realworld and only spec suite and sciencemark count? :p:Quote:

Just wait until offical benchmarks and judge the results with a peace of mind , darn it.
ye those bandwidth benchmarks are ALL wrong tbh....
Just wait till official benchies on certified hardware before jumping to conclusions guys, you all realise releasing a product which is SLOWER then its predecesor is just corporate suicide and we know AMD is not stupid so... don't go jumping the gun ;)
Damn straight, RedBull78. AMD is not breaking the seal on Phenom yet. I guess anyone who wants to see competition on price and performance throughout the next years will hope that Phenom ends up being a bag of chips with some blazing overclocked salsa. :)
Good points(and redbull's too).I can't remember in recent past,the time that AMD "pre-demoed" it's new uarch. and that it performed at the same level as it would when it hit the retail.We remember the early K7 "disastrous" tests with low FPU scores,than it was early K8's that could clock like *** and was later reviewed at Xbitlabs as 2800+ and barely beat K7 at the same clock :) ,then it was early Anand's AM2 preview that showed only decrease of perf. over s939(at the end ,on average with solid DDR2 RAM, AM2 chips were 3-5% faster than s939 with good DDR1,and rarely slower )Quote:

superpi-
i love this quick benchie to tell me how my ram\cpu oc will hold up to prime\occt.stabilty is everything,bottom line.super pi on a tube for a 9second blast to impress others prevails for the masses i guess.i myself love to game thats why i build my pcs to handle the newer games.others build there pcs build to merely impress others it seems with benchmark numbers.others game with friends using voip and having a complete blast regardless of age.i have played with guys who wack 10-11 sec in pi vs my 13 sec rig and that doesnt matter.my pc is still blazing fast and i rip skulls apart in any fps game regardless of cpu speeds 2 sec faster in a pi run... bf2,quake(any3,4),hl2,etqw bring it=)
3dmarks-
this simply tells me how many more fps im getting period by overclocking.a purfect tool for any gamer.as a gamer more fps are the goal to make games more enjoyable period,stable tho.some ppl here call 3dmark06 a game,not the case,its a benchmark.a game is something u play interactivly with others vs pushing a button only to see how it runs by itself displaying fps gains,fun yes, a game no.
i have been holding out a long time with my 4th conroe in my setup hoping amd would prevail in the performance gaming dept.seeing some of the numbers with both amdk10 and quad 775,s both at 3gig getting a 2-5fps +- difference.im not pro amd or intel,whatever runs the newer games best.
i wanted a q6600 to replace my e6600 for some time now because crysis is coded to use quads. but i read the amd should probaly do better using l3 cache to fully load balance all 4 cores in the k10 vs intels shared bus.amd has took the time for better things i think in terms of new cutting edge tech(l3cache,4 seperate cores).now to real world ultilize this tech we shall see.:shrug: i thought amd got more clocks per cycle vs intel,or was that only netburst era?..we shall see as more tests prevail.
1 request tho plz.
3dmark06 (screenies)
sisandra memory and latency test.
