Intel Merom vs Yonah on Calistoga

I dropped the chip in the new Lifebook N and it fired right up and at the correct speed. I did disable some services and no registry tweaks were done.

Check out this cache bench;

Good stuff, Fugger. Thanks.

Edit: Sancache link at the bottom aren't working for me.

Edit2: there it is.

Meron is looking good. Thanks Fugger for the results.

Whoo! Merom is looking very very nice, it will definitely be going inside my next laptop!

Fixed

nice 1 mate :)

Great to see :)

Cheers for the results.

hehe you wish :toast: :toast:

How about powerconsumption?

Watched two full DVD's back to back and had some charge to spare.

The large display kills battery life, maybe with smaller (less bright) 15" would pull 6+ hours

Nice! getting better and better...

so, Fugger can we hope that by the time Meroms out ECS PF23 mobo is done?

I hope so, this MOD (Mobile on Desktop) stuff is moving painfully slow.

seems the score is not so good ,maybe trapped by fsb.
fugger, why you do not put ur Merom on Aopen 975xa-ydg ?
I think it can easily get 266fsb+ since it's just pin-differs from Conroe

I dont have a mobo, I would love to do cold tests too.

Yeah the overall score doesnt seem to be much higher, I mean the overall on 06 is higher but the cpu scored lower then the yonah, whats up with that?

:eek: god.... how can Aopen DO NOT Sent you one.
seems now ASIA have almost all that mobo available.

I really wanna see a Yonah under LN2 or cascading. :woot:

if I'm not so busy these days. I'm sure I will make it under DI first :p:


ps: I've just forgot that you can use only in build-in GPU to run all the test.
That really lower the performance.

looking good so far!

Yonah allready went on ln2 and di :) by tarosa and also by newbeetle :)

Thanx F
nice to see my next cpu in action

good. I like Merom, too.:toast:

I hope Aopen YDG can suppot merom.

so the meron is just a conroe with a different socket?

how can one buy a merom?

Very Impressive
FUGGER :clap:

Wow, these new Intel chips really are crazy!! I wanna see who can get 4ghz first.

Hmm nice job but the merom get 1Gb memory at CAS 4 instead of Yonah 512Mb CAS 5 :(.
resuls should be more similar with a similar platform

That Merom scores 2x in Integer Multimedia (although it does have SSE4) the FX-60!

drool

Nice job! I'm planning skip Yonah, get Merom when it comes out.

fugger,try pinmod if it works! u don't have to wait satarosa paltform!:banana:

Also, it seems that Merom's 3 SSE2 units are for INT only, whilst the two FPs are capable of issuing x87, scalar SSE and packed SSE2 instructions.

I think this was a good design decision by Intel, because INT is more important than FPU, unless you're into HPC..

Not saying that Merom's FPU is weak by any means. It's actually much stronger than anything out now, only that it's INT capabilities are even stronger.

I've been reading some posts over at Aces, and it MAY be that Conroe/Merom can issue 6 DP FLOPs per cycle for INT, and I guess 12 SP FLOPS.

If true, thats amazing :eek:

Nice info
Thanks Fugger

yay fugger. good job on the benchies

Carfax,
Based upon comments by intel of not having non-destructive instructions (meaning that one of the operands is changed) the ability to have 6DP ops isn't likely. That would imply they use FMAC units to make 2 of their pipelines identical which conflicts with statements made by Intel. Nonetheless, having a 128-bit FPU in a laptop is really something.

Fugger, can you run the 32-bit (or preferrably 64-bit) version of Science Mark2. Nice work. The media apps are heavily optimized towards SSE2/MMX, and it's upon the first that Merom's true potential will be realized.

I am waiting on Yonah mobo atm.

I will have to get confirmation on SM2 runs, I dont want to show anything thats is not already in public domain.

heya fugger, have you tried Merom on the AOpen i975 board already? thanks and great results you got there!
