SIX is Sexy! (Unboxed)

I bet they tried using the 1600mhz ram divider then.

[V0id]

Great results, this keeps getting better!

[jazkat]

il be getting a 1055t as soon as they come to uk.

any recomendations on a cooler for this beast?

ridney what cooler are you using?

great scores btw keep up the good work

i do believe he's using the water cooling from his sig.

so, the turbo doesn't work all the time running cinebench single!?
try setting on the task manager the cinebench process to one core only!?

anyway, nice cpu

What my biggest question is:

Does it beat a 1366 i7 if you disable HT?

In games, how is the minimum FPS @ low resolutions (when you're CPU bound)?

http://www.legionhardware.com/articl...d_5970,13.html

That link shows AMD Phenom @ ~100fps where a 1156 i5/7 can do 150fps.

50% improvement at low resolutions if you're on Intel. Does the 6 core AMD help this? I'd really love to know the answer to that.

Why would adding cores improve performance in software that isn't benefitted by extra cores?

Because the CPU itself is faster and benefits from the turbo mode?

It's not cores, but power/efficiency.

rideny: nice, nice benchies! How is the max potencial this chip with turbo disabled? Cinebench score 20 000+? ,-) And here is LINX to download (right up button download, but think, u know what is it :-D )

i will do the maximum oc on friday night (singapore time), would like to get to know the chip a little bit better

Hello ridney, Do you mind to share the price of 1055T in Singapore??
Thanks !

got it at S$308. 1090T was listed at S$448 but was still unavailable

Other bench requests:

x264 hd benchmark
pov ray
7-zip benchmark
3dmax SPECapc 9
blender

can you give me some download links?

and winrar bench with max tweak please

will try

omfg it's in Sim Lim?

How much did you get it for?

Yep! SLS at Cybermind shop the guys at hardwarezone said it was available at PC Themes but for the life of me i couldn't find that shop

I guess it was working all the time but on different cores, depending on how the thread was bouncing on each core. I will try to re-run cinebench with 6 cpuz for each core and take some screenshots

[Daveburt714]

Your the man ridney!

Take your time, and thanks for the input...

I'll be watching this thread!

[richierich]

Friday night? Doh!

[ridney]

hehe thanks dave, told you i was gonna be back in action with thuban ;-)

Friday night? Doh!

because i lost my touch after not seeing the "cell menu" in bios for more than half a year, i was simply lost. i need to re-learn everything

[Chrono Detector]

I'm so looking forward getting a 1090T along with a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7, should be an epic rig to replace my Phenom II X2 550. Already these early leaked results and benchmarks tell me this is a good chip from AMD.

[[XC] Oj101]

I'm loving the speed/voltage for single threaded applications, and LOVING the two extra cores. Coming from a C2 965BE this should be a nice increase!

[AMD-C]

can you give me some download links?

POV-Ray 3.7

The 1055T with a hefty NB OC should be particularly impressive in POV-Ray as the benchmark is very sensitive to memory access. This is why Nehalems get a 20%+ boost from HT in it. On a 965 @ 4Ghz, taking the NB from 2000 to 2600 and timings from 9-9-9-24 to 8-8-8-20 result in a 20%+ boost. I'd expect a 1055T @ 4.2Ghz + 3Ghz NB to perform very close (6000ish) to if not actually exceed the 980X (6400).

x264 HD Benchmark

You'll need Avisynth to go with x264 HD.

3DS Max SPEC

[ridney]

okay guys, here are some screenshots of voltages at the bios level. it shows that at 2.8Ghz it has 1.375v vcore and 1.15v cpu-nb

under cpu specifications




under hwmonitor





i tried disabling CnQ from cell menu it but it still idles at 800mhz. I think i need to set vcore explicitly in order for it to work. And there's no option there for disabling "Turbo CORE" so perhaps setting vcore would disable it. haven't tried yet

cell menu





so now i re-did the cinebench 64bit 1 CPU run and made 6 instances of cpuz for each core and made some screenshots along the way until it finished. you can now see pretty clearly which cores are on turbo and at what load level they kick-in. (sorry for the really big pics)





















and did the multithreaded run on cinebench too













i will try to run an overclocked version of this later, my wife needs to check cafe world (i need to fix her dell studio)

[informal]

Woo hoo man,nice update .Your single thread score is identical as if you have OCed your chip to 3.3Ghz and assigned only one core in affinity settings then rerun the test ,so the Turbo CORE works flawlessly,a perfect scaling from 2.8->3.3Ghz !!! And it's out of the box feature,nice going AMD

[AMD-C]

This is why I have 2 laptops and I'll be putting my 965 into a secondary desktop once I get my hands on an X6 =)

Great results. Can't wait to see more.

[charged3800z24]

Nice, looks like AMD wasn't lieing about about how quickly it will toggle turbo when threads are shifting from core to core. Thanks for the screen shots and the effort.

[jcmarfilph]

wooot that was a detailed view. thanks

You might wanna try TPMonitor instead of opening multiple instances of cpuz

[theoldtimer]

Nice work ridney. Thanks for taking the time to run all those tests then posting up the results. Anyother time I would call that a bunch of work but in this case it being a new toy I figure maybe it was more like a bunch of fun.

[CrimInalA]

thanks , nice screenshots showing the turbo core swapping .
I wonder why AMD would swap the overclocked core constantly . Could it have something to do with keeping the temperature low ?
if 1 core is overclocked for turbo core , and voltage raised only for 1 core and stressed big time ... that one core would definately get much hotter compared to the other cores .
In the way they implemented it now , all cores keep somewhat the same temperature .

I'm wondering , how would the chip choose which core to bump actually ?

[AMD-C]

I believe that's an effect of the OS/benchmark. Not the CPU. When running the single-threaded CB bench the process will hop from core to core constantly.

[informal]

There is dedicated hardware inside Thubans that dynamically and (very fast) decides which cores should be in the boosted state,according to the load on each core.

Exactly. It is reacting to scheduling decisions made by the OS, not making scheduling decisions itself as is suggested here:

I wonder why AMD would swap the overclocked core constantly . Could it have something to do with keeping the temperature low ?

The simplified process I'm describing is this:

1) The OS scheduler observes which threads have work to do and decides where (core) to execute work for each thread.
2) CPU observes the workload on each core and decides which core to boost on.
3) Repeat.
