AMD's 3GHz K10 to break 30,000 3DMark06 (Inq)

[EvlUndrWareNome]

first official benches I see, K10 is coming in the mail on release day.

[Nedjo]

I believe that too. So are 2 believers along.

make it 3

30K is a 2K5 score

[cadaveca]

i think you forgot the card clocks on the C2D run

Nope, modded bioses, thanks. I WILL say, however, that i used DFI 3200, so far better timing tweaking for me.

make it 3

I was intensively supporting Intel when they launched Conroe and bought my CPU at launch and now my support goes to AMD for the hard working they made with K10(4 cores on one die is not easy). I want Phenom as a successful CPU.

Intel is good for decoding
AMD used to be good for 3D'ing

Strange when people found it was totally possible when C2D results appeared showing 21s PI 1M @ stock when an AMD record was about 22 or 23s....

But now people find it impossible for a CLOCKED new AMD to beat a clocked c2q in 3dmarks...

Just a thought.... can't say that those numbers are true or not... no fanboyism here...

[CraptacularOne]

Do not try to get over it, I am not saying about the software I'm saying about believing.

You are believing what exactly then? Your own self concocted belief that somehow they are going to revise how scores are evaluated when Barcelona launches? Stop being an ignorant fool and try to learn when someone points you in the right direction.

Take that 3Dmark calculator and enter the SM2, SM3 and CPU scores of ANY 06 project you want AMD or Intel, it will not matter. It will match what is reported in the link as the final score. Why? Because the calculations used to deliver your final score are INDEPENDENT of what hardware is used.

Here, go ahead

do a search for ANY project you want with ANY hardware configuration, and take the SM2, SM3 and CPU scores and enter them into the calculator. See for yourself. It will match what is posted.

Still your C2D score is not where it should be , ie 16x shouldn't beat 8x with lower CPU power in apples to apples comparison

Beat yes it is higly possible but can not be certain ,,, 30K is totally different league

E6600 @4968MHz on BlackBox -100 casc8 - Commando - OCZ FlexXLC - 2xHD2900XT @874/837 on Air

got 30015 Points @ 05er

In the real world, our Intel Kentie 2.93GHz test bed will score around 7.5 GB/s, Athlon 64 X2 5000+ shoots around 8.3-8.8 GB/s, depending on the memory latency, and now Phenom scores even better – pretty close to a five figure range. But regardless of missing the 10 GB/s mark, it is still faster than any DDR3 memory on an Intel system, regardless of the clock achieved by the DDR3 memory. If you put the memory on 1066 MHz, 11GB/s bandwidth was smashed with read, write and copy tests and that was by quite some margin.

Woot. No DDR3 for me. No way Im paying that much. Good news just in there if the Inq makes this

[Shintai]

I dont hope those 7.5GB/sec is memory on the kentsfield. No way it gonna reach that on a 1066FSB. It should be arounf 5.5-6GB/sec.

Come on man, post something decent will you?

Right. People just seem to want to think that AMD sucks horribly, will never catch up with intel, who rules all and is god of CPU tech and can never be dethroned again, etc... I don't get it. Intel got kicked off its high horse for 3 years, finally gathered its pride and rose to the top again. No reason why they can't get kicked again, and really it would do the market good for them to get kicked - keeps both companies on their toes, don't want just one dominating the market (tho some ppl around here seem to want it that way for some strange reason...)

Did YOU make those benches? the ones i posted I DID.




Please also note drivers used and dates of my benches, pls. I play no favorites, except performance. I work for noone in IT, have no website, just like to overclock and play videogames.

lol, I'm not the one who refuses to believe that the 3Dmark calculator is correct. Stop being an ignorant fool, everyone knows you are wrong and in fact I've got several PMs of people laughing at you....

[berk]

Your better than this guys...c'mon.
Phenom FTW???
That is the question...

I think Phenom is going to be good (at least it better be or AMD is done) but I highly doubt it at 3Ghz is going to out do a 5Ghz Kentsfield with the same hardware. I do hope in fact that is is faster because competition is good for everyone. It drives prices down and forces the competitors to develop even faster hardware. And in the end, it's us the consumers who will reap the rewards

Even that would be something Charles...I need around 4.6 on Conroe to break 30 in 05, single stage cooling all around, cards included. Doing so on air is pretty impressive if that's true. It's still out there.

Good I know I am funny.

I do not know really why I am still replying to your posts, if that makes you happy I will continue.

Like Gautam and some others said, the change in SM2 and SM3 scores has to be factored in. Does this calculater know what those scores will be on a new platform? I guess not. These are INDEPENDANT factors.

Now that leaves the question if the 2900XT 3d score can really change that much in a new platform. Probably not but I'm not sure either.

Let's all wait and see in about ten days.

One more thing, if this personal account by the Inq is untrue - let's never post anything from them again here shall we?

No i didn't ,, sorry no offense ,, all i meant is that you keep tweaking , testing so results may vary a lot so it is not apples to apples ,,, we are not talking about a "run 3D mark 06 test " guy

I know what he's saying and I agree with Guatam, but I also know that when it is released that the same version of the calculator will be able to calculate it's scores as well. Yes the SM2 and SM3 scores will go up, but I seriously doubt that they are going to go up that much with a 3Ghz Barcelona. I'm really think that the person who made the "claim" or what have you made a typo and is referring to a 05 score not an 06 tbh.

I agree, it would be hilarious if they switched 05 for 06 though. I will then methodically hunt down the Inq and ignore every new posting from them. As a good hardware forum, we should do that together.

But untilll, then, let's wait and see. Only 10 more days.

[Sampsa]

Stop acting like idiots. It's 3DMark05 score, not 3DMark06 like Fugger already said.

I'll be right behind you....
