lol, nehalem is a multithreading beast. :shock:

We desperately need memory benchmarks. :)

Run stream , it's a tiny program which should run no matter what.Used for testing the memory system of computers ranging from desktops to servers with thousands of CPUs.

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/FT...32/wstream.exe

You'll need to open the command console ( remember where you saved it ) and type wstream <core frequency , 2933 this case > < iterations , try with 1 , 4 and 8 >.

Something like this c:\...desktop\wstream 2933 4

*I've noticed you're running single channel mode.

Damn incredible I'd say.The performance is astounding.

Those Wprime benchs are really impresive, compare to a QX9650 below:

So your 2.93GHz (with dual channel?), beat my result at 4.2GHz with Dual Channel (by a fair margin)

this Nehalem is going to be a monster in multi-threaded apps even if it only does 3.6GHz on air.

Thanks for all the benchmarks JC. I was going to buil d a Q67000 or Q9450 system for video editing, but now I will wait for Nehalem. As others have noted, this looks like it will be a great multi-thread chip. Just what I am looking for to run Sony Movie Studio (which can generate upto 4 threads :up: )

Can you wait that long :p. I'm toying with the idea of building a cheapie 24/7 render slave, looks like CPU's are getting cheaper :). Nehalem looks tempting, however I cant really believe we'd be able to find it available any time soon after release :(

I think that would be a dream, we should not have to much high hopes on their first true quad core :D

It will release at 3.2GHz so 3.6GHz shouldnt be that hard ;)

That's 50% clock/clock advantage in this multithreaded test.

Yup... just about 50%:

Dewd, true Quad is Quad=P Doesn't matter if it is Monolithic or MCM, it is still Quad. The whole "True Quad Core" was crap and nothing more than Marketing Hype or a Gimmick.

When I did my back of the envelop calculation, I used the 32M numbers... so here is what I get...

For Nehalem @ 2.93G
32M = 9.218 Secs
For Yorkie @ 2.93G
32M = 13.859

This translates to a increase in speed of 50.3% (these are time to complete so you need to take [(1/slower)-(1/faster)]/(1/slower) to calculate the actual rate, or you could convert into digitis per second and then it calculates out like FPS in game).

For Nehalem @ 2.93 G
1024M = 288.937
For Yorkie @ 2.93 G
1024M = 439.39

This translates to about 52% speed improvement.

This is estimated because I am using 1.58 Wprime, JC is using 1.55 Wprime.

wow, this is dropping some amazing numbers!!!! too bad we have to wait till q1 09 for retail :(

Thanks for the tests JC, we all appreciate it :up:

Thanks Jack... I realized the error of my post immediately and deleted it so it's not clear what you are responding to now... for everyone else's benefit, I was wondering how the 50% improvement was being calculated.

I thought I used v1.63 WPrime ? ...

:) ooops, you did.... my point, we are not using the same.... :)

Edit ... my mistake was glancing through this page and saw Metro's screen shot which is 1.55 ... sorry.

Very impressive Wprime speeds..

Would it be possible to change the thread count in ADV settings to 1 Thread.. Then we can really see how much SMT is helping the score?

most of the time i can agree with hem, but sometimes he's going too much to the blue side, but i respect someone's opinion (not like you)

:confused:
I'm not quite grasping your point... are you trying to say that while we currently don't know what the max Ghz Intel will release the new Nehalem @, it probably can't be faster than the current 3.2Ghz already known?

Knowing Intel always takes a conservative stance, which coincidentally has been proven by the EXTREMELY ingenious people here and elsewhere by overclocking them. Somehow, since nobody has officially posted Ghz in excess of 3.2gig, it somehow impossible or wrong to discuss them?

Actually I can. I just picked up a refurb Dell Optiplex 755 with a E8500 for just over $600. I tried to build something similar at Newegg, but even using the cheapest components for everything the lowest total was >$700. Plus it comes with a three year on-site (in this case, meaning at home) warranty. This will easily last me until next year until the price/supply for Nehalem has stabilized. After that, I will pass it on to my wife.

From another thread I am wondering: Is it confirmed that there will be <600$ Nehalems in Q4 2008?

There will be 3 nehalems in Q4. 3.2, 2.93 and 2.66Ghz. The 2.66ghz should be 316$, worst case would be 540$. But 316$ is the most likely since its in the same group as a Q9550 that got a pricedrop in Q3.

Excellent! I thoguht it was only the 3.2 bloomfields that would be avail q4 :up:
