K10 Scores starting to surface

[freeloader]

It can get far worse believe me.

One of the points I wanted to show is how it clearly and perilously casts doubts on this http://img.coolaler.com.tw/images/zm...mlwemyzmzk.jpg compared to this http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/6582/sp47cj7.jpg

Bro, that was 1x 512MB RAM not even dual channel and an old CD. A P4 will get 10 seconds lower at least, beating the Barcelona quad core time they showed.
Yes, the K8 1900 was baseline compared to a K10 1900 - as an assumption for better clock per clock performance. It could be far lower, obviously, but this is a vague explanatory comparison of what Gary stated rather than a "prediction".

What I was saying is, Gary of Anandtech could be basing his statements on similar performance scaling he saw with the K10, as I did with the Celeron chip.
Yes. It's not impossible is what I'm saying. Look at how the numbers fluctuate with the Celeron and where. Pure technical math cannot account for this, so we won't be able to explain it, but we'll experience it. It's possible that K10 at lower clocks does not scale as well as some higher clocks. I've just shown you in one application how my old Celeron did it, which means it's entirely possible.

That's definitely interesting. I guess I'm so used to seeing "linear" scaling, that I didn't give it much thought. It will definitely be cool to see otherwise with K10.

Just a guess here concering SuperPI. Is it possible that we'll see non linear scores due to the L3 cache having decreased latency as the core clock scales higher or is the latency always the same, no matter what the core is clocked at?
