AMD K10 SuperPi Reults

[adamsleath]

if you say so; you're the one with a closet full of hardware - not me

i am more interested in cpu design/architecture etc whether it is amd or intel;
i like seeing evolutions and changes.


bottlenecks and frequency limits superpi is good for that?

why is pi important? Pi is the best piece of software to determine how much RAM frequency and timings impact on performance of a system but it's true it does not necessarily translate across all benches and some 3d apps like tighter timings and other benches like higher frequency at looser timings ......

superpi is one calculation; arent there many other types of calc/instruction?

if it helps you maximise optimum timings etc and frequencies yadada, well if it helps it helps

you may as well use a sooped up single core imo. for superpi. - with your super cooling etc.

i'll ask again: what does superpi measure? raw compute power? no of transistors? effectiveness of cache? etc etc

does it measure overall cpu design or just one part of the cpu's ability?

i suppose you could design/taylor a cpu specifically to run superpi
