Phenom II X4 @ +6 GHz by Team Finland

so hypertransport only effects performance in gaming?

and 100 fps....your scaling graph looks to me liek you meant it as 1.xx performance scaling of the original.

a 13% increase is 100 fps?

or am I entirely off in my confusion.

HT link frequency probably affects performance of PCI-e, sata, ide, usb and so on.

Graph is indeed 1.xx of 200MHz; where XX = performance gain in %

200MHz HT link ~ 600FPS, 1800MHz HT link ~ 700FPS.

I think past 1000 MHz it's hit or miss. There needs to be more tests done to have any meaningful data to discuss.

Besides, do we know if the NB was clocked together with the HT link? Because if so, there's your magic wand.

I used the nature benchmark because it's very little hit or miss, it's quite reproducable. More data is always better, however, in this case you should look past the actual numbers and see the performance scaling of the 3D benchmark. 15% increase is significant, the increase or decrease in other tests isn't.

NB was clocked at 2GHz in all tests. I know how to make comparisons
