K10 Scores starting to surface

[zaarath]

zaarath since you are in that thread over a coolalers...can post that that he can download cpuz 1.41..since it detects the X4 correctly..and then we can see the revision that he has...

Enoc, the cpu-Z in the 1m-spi test screenshot is already 1.41, which shows info consistent with vr-zone. Check it again.

did not see that one...my bad...wonder why does not show the revision?

Either it is A1 revision and CPU-Z can't recognize it or it is B1/C1 and same apply!

Pics from VR-Zone are showing Stepping 0, these pics are showing Stepping 1 so definitely both CPUs are different.
I'm afraid guy on Coolalers forum has final B1 rev, but that only time will tell...

[informal]

The CPUs @ coolaler's forum are not DVT...
They are EVT B0's just like VR-zones...

This Agena processor is clocked at 1.8GHz and is B-0 revision which is an EVT sample for SVID testing only

All the intel fans jumped to early.

B0's show up as "Model 2, Stepping 0"

These results are "Model 2, Stepping 1", i.e., they are B1 results.

So,all pre-B2 were buggy.

We heard that AMD partners has gotten B1-step Barcelona for compatibility testing with better and newer AGESA code compared to the B0-step Barcelona. There is also B2-step Barcelona which is bug free and then BA-step Barcelona for mass production

AMD is LAUNCHING the K10 on the B1 stepping, per everyone else. Then B2 in Q4. At any rate, it is unlikely that B1 has any huge performance bugs. These results fit precisely with what AMD themselves claimed.... up to 10-15% better IPC than the K8. About in the ballpark of Conroe/Kentsfield per clock. Better on some bandwidth-heavy server stuff & HPC, worse on desktop apps.
