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

[Metroid]

Well is up to you believe it or not. I said I distrust because I am a programmer so I know how things work, and you personal flame proves you are nowhere worth to talk about. It is better you take my advice because this is not the first time software or formulas were bashed off.

[RedBull78]

K10 will be successful. The Phenom will poison intel to the core.

[largon]

3000MHz (...) Memory wise, it is particularly interesting to see benchmark scores of DDR2-800 on AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 or now this Phenom FX something.(...)

DDR800 with a 3000MHz K8?
*cough* DDR750MHz *cough*

Are there non-integer dividers on K10?

[Shintai]

Something else I picked out of this "article" to re enforce it's status as BS is...



Now, just how exactly is that possible? Anybody that knows how memory is handled will know. But is basically this: A 32bit OS only has 4GB total memory addresses. So with 2 512MB cards taking up the 1st GB that would leave Windows with an allocatable 3GB of system RAM, not 3.24GB.

This is BS and it did exactly what the writer intended it to do: Stir up controversy and draw attention to their sad excuse of a site (the INQ that is)

Actually it would be located above the 4GB on Vista32. Both Vista32 and XP32 is artificial limited to 4GB. However they both support PAE (36bit).

The issue is with XP32 the artificial limitation is amde so these addreses have to be under the 4GB. On Vista32 it can be over gaining a full 4GB.

But yes, each GFX card on a PCIe port would allocate 512MB and PCI devices 256MB. People with 7950GX2 in SLI would also know they are down to 2GB approx on XP. So its not right in any way...looks like another RHT from Theo.

[Agent11]

The inquirer does speculate sometimes, actually I think they pass on industry speculation..

But that is usually when a product is far from market. With the launch so close I doubt Theo would just pull numbers out of his ass.

Being as he did not have intimate knowledge of the system there may be more to this than meets the eye... Although I give him the benefit of the doubt for now and am happy for AMD and us, the consumer.

We will see how it performs soon enough.. Relax.


( I would grab some AMD stock if you have some spare change though . . If you didn't before )

Is this with some Vista update? 'cause with the (non updated) Vista32 (all versions, excluding Longhorn enterrpise) I never gained 4GB on my systems.

Lets just hope it happens like this .

Just a thought i have seen no one mention, but what play would the L3 cache have in all this? Maybe its the way it uses the instructions that makes it faster??
NFI really just thinking out loud.

Your BIOS still need to support remapping.

[K404]

The idea that its 30K 3D05, not 06 seems to be feasible at least. No-one seems to be taking that idea on board though.

Well he confirmed the tests were ran on 3D mark 06. So probably he forgot his eye drops before the benchmarks. I wonder if somebody else was with him at that moment, that would enforce his article.

[SOLDNER-MOFO64]

People trying to calculate 3D MARK cpu scores and SM2.0 and 3.0 scores from a cpu they know absolutely nothing about makes me cry with laughter.

PMSL I've watched for months as guys have bragged about they're C2D's and now these same guys are squirming like nobody's buisness about the fact that K10 is gonna render their C2D's extinct

It's just a shame everything has to end like this...........who am I kidding, no it's not....

Muhahahahhahahahhahahahahaahahaaaaaa

to a real QUAD-CORE

I sure hope the info is correct, but,... with all this new, untested hardware, I fear a much sadder, banal explanation.... ...anyone ever heard of a 3Dmark glitch?

[Leeghoofd]

Even if it's true we are finally getting AMD back on the scene which is good, very good to my liking... though scores seem a bit exegerated...

Even if the scores are completely accurate, Intel got something to worry about. It troubles me AMD doesn't make it official as it will hold many buyers off to buying a new GO or even Yorkfield CPU and just await their beast...

Excellent fanboy stuff and to me another Inquirer myth launch... I would already be happy for AMD if they can get ahead of Intel at their current clockspeeds...

When will this monster be released ?

X7DAE/8/X7DAL-E? Would be strange if these boards don't support it.

Agreed. Well many things changed with the new hardware, maybe AMD developed it combined to give a super boost in performance, AMD has motherboard, CPU, GPU combined = boost up.

I was thinking about that too. That would vastly increase its gains and many things in the article that he had written yesterday are not reliable.

[hecktic]

soon as they are able to, they better publish these results on 3dmark because otherwise its NOT verified.... I would love to see 30k verified, because then hipro and the others here have a new score to beat lol

Why don't someone who knows him, asks him what he show?......
It was airplanes flying?.... ONE small green fire(light) going here and there?....or deep freeze with plenty of snow?......

[Kenetixx]

SO true i dont see any here that are cpu developers ???????
If so raise your hand please ??

[Dagalidis]

12 more days my friends..
Just wait a few more days and we will see....

[OBR]

this is funnies blah blah in this thread! only naive teenager can think like that!

[Metroid]

So definitely you have a much better explanation for all of this, just show your thesis. Willing to share it?

[triple_A]

Exactly, and from the Inq at that. We're from Xtremesystems, and we're taking from a dumbass from the Inq who calls Vista Ultimate, "Windows ME2 (Vista) Ultimate)? Are you kidding me? Wtf is ME2?

Dude, that was a joke. remember windows ME? (Millenium)
that was like an updated w98, but way worse (worst windows version ever in fact )

He says vista is "ME2" because its pretty much to XP what ME was to w98 according to some people (I actually like Vista )

Anyway; I'm just going to wait two more weeks before calling this BS or saying thanks to god for this wonderful cpu.

DDR800 with a 3000MHz K8?
*cough* DDR750MHz *cough*

Are there non-integer dividers on K10?

edit.....

[Morais]

I think this thread break the record here in post per 1 day

Anyway, 30k in 06 is very good isnt it? I know its INQ, but makes me dream a little

[kemo]

ROFL 30K AMD fanboys



keep dreaming
