Santa came early this year :)

[JNav89GT]

Dropped off today

Athlon64x2 4400
Athlon64x2 4600
Athlon64 Venice 3800+
Sempron 3100+ 754 palermo core

So darn busy, might not get to play for a day or so. However, wanted to give u guys an opportunity to request benches and I can compare to 4000+ SD if you'd like. Also, if you want to compare memories and how they behave ie TCCD vs good set of Redline I have I can do that too.

Cooling will be either Coolermaster tower6 or Corsair Cool waterkit. Undecided as of yet. Probably will go with Cool kit.

Board will be DFI UltraD

Fasten ur seatbealt guys these things are gonna rock!

[xgman]

Lots of toys! Did you get X2 samples or buy somewhere?

[perkam]

Nicey !!!!! Awaiting results !!!

Whoa, that is lucky indeed!

Two instances, running simultaneously, of Super 1Mb time on the highest X2 overclock would be nice to see

I think I am pretty closed to where you live, bro
you lucky bastard.

[i found nemo]

3100+ palermo sempy....sound promising should o/c better than the one in my avatar just do comparison of all of them and put it on a chart ya know??

[IYP]

did you order them or are you just that special that they sent them to you early?

[G H Z]

All these are S939?

Hook us up

The Sempron is 754, according to the list in the first post

[agenda2005]

Non of you ask any question/benchmark so far. The word 'Santa' already answer most of your questions.
JNav89GT,
Can you max out the OC on the Sempy and compare it's performance with 3800+ maxed out OC?

[Ubermann]

Just post max on all cpus to start with, or did santa take you for trade for all those cpu ? Hello ?

[bachus_anonym]

Yep John... It's me

For X2, mostly 64-bit OS required. Comparison between Stock vs max OCed stable (see below) speeds Lots of work, but worth it...

3D Rendering --> Cinebench 64-bit

Media Encoding --> Lame MT 64-bit, Windows Media Encoder 9

Scientific calculations --> ScienceMark2 64-bit

Some stability benches... Not asking for impossible (Prime95), but as you suspected Spi 32M would be nice indicator... or "30min Test" from OCCT.

Thanks!

[charlie]

Great stuff, John...

I'd like to see 64bit sciencemark benches:

- 3800+ with crappy ram (10x266, 150 divider, 2.5 4 4 8)
- 3800+ with TCCD (10x266, 200 divider, best timings)
- 4600+ with crappy ram (10x266, 150 divider, 2.5 4 4 8)
- 4600+ with TCCD (10x266, 200 divider, same timings as with 3800+)

This so we can see if the X2 will benefit more from faster memory than single core A64's (i mean real world performance wise, not a bandwidth bench ).
In many reviews the memory is said to be a bottleneck now, let's see how bad it really is.

[cupra]

wow that is very cool stuff bro

we will waiting for your benches

[dnottis]

All I ever get is coal.

[eva2000]

woah.. nice.. next time put in a good word for me with Santa

[[XC] leviathan18]

could you tell us temps vcore stability and general usage of the athlon x2 im very interested in how you "feel" the cpu.

[tw33k2514]

lucky...i wish i got all that lol

[blinky]

hello john

[5-Clicks]

dang dude! i guess Saint Nicolas gets rather jolly in the summer?

no no no, i get it now! you're running off of the pluto calendar...so therefore it's Christmas for YOU...

[dark wizard]

Lucky you.These X2 must be real faster in real life,rather in benches.Go and try to hit 9000@PC mark2004.Good luck to your o/cs.

[dng29]

i'll take the chip that oc the best from you bro . name your price . just want to say have fun benching and ocing, but play it save. a good amd cpu is a terrible thing to waste . btw, my b-day is coming up, i wonder if santa or anyone will bring me a present .

[[XC] leviathan18]

my birthday is first than you i think is next monday LOL i want a athlon x2
