Conroe @ 2.9Ghz

[Charles Wirth]

363x8=2.903Ghz ambiant air

[metro.cl]

hahaha nice record

[eBoy0]

Hahaha, nice record there man.

[Gautam]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but AMD is still faster than that:




But Intel's already on top.



Amazing for the speed though,.

[Charles Wirth]

Doh, I should have checked here more instead of relying on hexus database.

conroe can eat anything clock per clock
now days its not about intel vs amd or conroe vs am2
its all about Conroe vs Yonah vs Dothan vs Merom

[SoulGG]

Wise words

was reading threw the amd thread to see what everyones plans were for AM2 and all...Everyone there's so uptight...anyone mentions anything about intel and boom they try and cut your balls off and frame them.

[Gautam]

Heh, slick edits there Fugger. 2.9 GHz sounds great. Looks like its gonna be more of a Conroe vs. Conroe thing at this rate.

[kyosen]

Here is Cal930's just 30.00s by Yonah@3.6G
So Conroe is faster about 10% @ same clock than Yonah concerning to Hexus PiFast,
though each multiplier and FSB is not different at all

can we get some 3d scores fugger? or is there still a problem with the pci-x slot

[zakelwe]

33s on air pifast is very good going (assuming it is still air).

Ignoring the FSB / memory speed timings for the moment ( which may or may not be trivial ) my FX-55 on air at 3Ghz would just squeeze into 39s, so 3Ghz on air is say

FX-55 = 39, Yonah = 36s , Conroe = 33s

so Conroe is 20% faster than AMD FX clock for clock in a single threaded benchmarking application such as this. Pifast is good indication of 3dmark performance in my view, more so than Super_pi and this with freecableguys early 3dmark benches seems to indicate I think that the "Conroe is just for benches, AMD is for games" comments possibly to be premature.

ok how do i get my hands on one of these conroe chips

You wait.......

[StyM]

good things come to those who wait...

[Charles Wirth]

I didnt know I had a PCI-X slot...

No problems with 3D

Yes this is on air.

[dpa]

is it possible to get a clean answer..?

Fugger/FCG:

What mobo are you using?

I am sure he isnt avoiding it! He prolly just cant say

[Gautam]

MB: Intel D975XBX "Bad Axe" stock w/BIOS 0807

Clean enough for me.

[kiwi]

It is the only board that supports Conroe at the moment

(There was that Asrock agp+ddr1 junk but I don't count it)

[duploxxx]

conroe can eat anything clock per clock

as long as the calculation fits in his huge cache.....

[BrownTown]

Preslers cache is just as big and yet its IPC isn't even close, clearly a large cache is not all thats responsible to Conroes performance.

Only if SuperPi is the only application on your computer, it is true

A 2.6Ghz Conroe vs 4Ghz FX57? Hardly a fair comparison is it?

Although to be honest, if its just barely slower than a 4Ghz FX57 at 2.6Ghz - then I'm totally sold.

EDIT: Oops, just realised thats a 2.9Ghz overclocked Conroe.

[Salvador]

1 year old technology vs new stuff that isn't even there yet...

Hardly a fair comparison is it?

Well, AMD isn't coming up with a new arch for a good time yet, so that is fully 'compareisable'. And fastest proc from AMD this year will be, what, a AMD FX62 - Dual Core 2,8Ghz?

So, it's a reasonable comparison

Do you got anything else we can compare with
