Barcelona Opteron 2350(B1) arrived

[kyosen]

Finally I've received s7e9h3n's Barcelona - Opteron 2350(B1) this morning

The images is partially masked as these are not mine, just borrowed.


This is my system, ASUS KFSN4-DRE.
I've just tried with 1 CPU
...this CPU cooler is too wider a bit, two of same coolers can't fit this board at the same time...


This is BIOS screen shot.
Split Power Plane(now it's called DDPM: Dual Dynamic Power Management) is supported
on this board, KFSN4-DRE...it looks working fine with north-bridge clock at 1.8GHz.


I tried SuperPI 1M with 1 and 2 memory modules.
39.750s in 1 module operation,
38.968s in 2 modules operation,
so it looks working dual-channel mode in 2 modules operation.
CPU-Z shows Single for both case...Fracnk can improve it soon, I believe
A small window located left side in these screen-shot is FELIX's test program.
Also FELIX is working for proper detection of memory access mode in his MemSet



Now, OC time...very mild though
I could reach 2.4G with default Vcore and normal air-cooling(no assist with air-conditioner).

SuperPI 1M


CineBench10


...stay tuned

[SOLDNER-MOFO64]

Nice one mate....now we want 2.8ghz-3.5ghz please

[VulgarHandle]

is the DDPM really the split power planes, or is it just for setting different voltages to each socket? and can you post a screenshot of the bios page with that information?

also, why does cpu-z show the HT link as 200 and 240? is that a cpu-z error, or worse?

thank you sir

[LIKMARK]

At last some oc'ing of these beauties. Keep it coming. Me too want 2.8 - 3Ghz!!

[quake6]

It is 7 second faster in super pi with just 400mhz up
Awsome

My first thougt too, but then again to get 9sek 1M you need something like a 11-1300MHz OC from 2GHz (3.1-3.3GHz)

[freeloader]

I noticed that too. Quite a good showing for a small clock speed increase.

[JumpingJack]

Actually, it is about 20% faster for a 20% faster clock... this is expected... if it didn't something is very wrong.

It depends how you benchmark each application, most of these here are singel threaded.

[cky2k6]

yeah, the performance increases are way above normal scaling for 400mhz, for both spi and cinebench. the enigma of k10 continues...

[tictac]

kyosen.. give em ln2.. see if there any coldbug or not..

[Kasparz]

32sec for 2.4Ghz AMD and very slow ram is awesome! Also this is server stuff, desktop stuff would be faster.
IIRC 3Ghz K8 with same ram could do 32sec spi1m.

I think it only needs a single stage to find out that.....

[BeardyMan]

I think it only needs a single stage to find out that.....

X1900XTX and X1800XTX were coldbuggers and i remember people fearing the HD2900 bugging like hell, now people are complaining that they can't cool them

I hope the same will happen for K10

The 2900XT was designed by ATI and NOT AMD....

[Gothic]

Fresh water should do it. At least my opty coldbugs at 18c @ 363MHz HTT.

[Frodin]

That is some strange scaling going on there
Looking forward to more tests!

[Lightman]

Thanks Kyosen for bringing first serious Barcelona overclock!

can you run latency tests on stock and OC for comparision? THX!

PS. Can someone write here resoults from CinemaR10 picture coz it's not loading on my PDA...

[Motiv]

The scaling is down to the cache/IMC that changes speed with memory timing and/or CPU speed. Well I think that's what I read somewhere.

So yes, the scaling of applications that use cache will show strange results.

[Morais]

Nice run kyosen, looking for more results.

[wedfighter]

superpi times remember me to A64 Venice @ 2.8Ghz or somewhere near it
hope it can scale much higher

thx for sharing

2.6ghz actually could do the trick with BH-5 at high speeds..

[wedfighter]

actually 2.7Ghz on Sempron Manila could do the trick



surely K10 is slight faster than K8 on Superpi, hope it can score way higher on another benchmark

i really missed the AMD time ...... like what Venice and SanDiego did

wut...you have your Kingston DDR2-533 running at 1080? how the hell did u do it?

[s7e9h3n]

I'm glad Kyosen-san FINALLY received these cpu's. They were held in Japanese customs for 3 or so days. I've given him the go-ahead to run LN2 if he likes .

One thing that's kinda weird though...Kyosen-san, is it just me, or is that multiple-cpu result on Cinebench not correct? I recall getting a much higher number with my cpu's @ 2.0G. I'd run the bench again, but I think my Tyan s3993 has blown up (NO, it's not my fault ). Now I'm just sitting here waiting for some B2 Barcelonas and hopefully a new board.

Wonderful work, btw!

EDIT: Ok, nevermind....you're only running one cpu....didn't notice that
