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

[informal]

Ok,don't show me the benches( like you would know..)

Also,the picture does show the launch speeds BUT it doesn't say if they will be mass available in 6 days.They could announce 2.4Ghz and launch it in late Sept./early October
You need to understand that there will be huge demand for these parts in server market and AMD must supply enough(not only for 2.4Ghz,for all K10 models)
So the lower clock scenario is more likely since most will want the best perf./watt/$ K10 can offer ,and it will surely be the 2Ghz version.No doubt about the fact that 2.4Ghz would look much better if it is available in 6 days(which it could btw,we simply don't know ATM)

Gee, a paper launch. That would be so like AMD.

[informal]

Yeah,whatever works for you...

[PetNorth]

You know how K10 performs

Yes.

BARCELONA REVIEW

From msimax's link

Understanding the artistic and socioeconomic roots of extravant Barcelona architecture

[BenchZowner]

very funny, but we have barcelona benches for a long time now...

Only the first few pages though

[Leeghoofd]

We need more posts !!! if you google K10 then you surely will enter extreme forums :p

-First a 3 GHZ Phenom is NOT an overclock one

http://www.hothardware.com/News/30GH...sFire_Spotted/

-Second a 2 GHZ Barcelona beats a 2.33 GHZ Clovertown in Floating-Point

http://www.vnunet.com/tv/?channel=vn...86_vnunet_0096

AMD 2 GHZ FP =78

Intel 2.33 GHZ FP =60

-Third something nice to see easy swapping cpu's from duo-core to quad-core

http://youtube.com/watch?v=SYvupXNmaKQ

-Fourth i DONT believe that the Phenom can do 30,000 in 3dmark06 even with trifire.
sure it's going to be a powerfull cpu but not by that much i think it will have not problem beating the c2q by about 10-30% & i doubt ,it would be more then that.

-Fifth i think that's enough ,for now anyway

Some more news here,

Half way through performance of Barcelona is mentioned.

Goodman...specfp_rates is not floating point as such. Its heavy memory bandwidth floating point bench. If it should beat it in floatingpoint it would be specfp without rates on.

K8 today already beat Core 2 in SpecFp_rates. But Core 2 beats K8 in specfp.

I'll take your word for it because i dont know much about specfp benchmarks , only the ones for desktop pc , 3dmark , sandra etc..

Its the same reason AMD only uses a single K8 against a quadcore K10 instead of a dual K8s. It could end up embarrasing with specfp_rates due to the dual K8s NUMA/extra bandwidth.

You can also learn more and check out other results on www.spec.org

Thx! for the link i'll go read it later on.

The rate benchmarks test a fully loaded system, and the non-rate benchmarks (e.g. specfp) are essentially single-threaded, using only one of the cores. If you don't have enough memory bandwith to keep all of the cores fed, it really hurts your rate score.

could it be posible if it run crossfire + physic?

Nope,it was done using TriFire.No physics acceleration support in mark06/05.

[dinos22]

looks like theo was lying to us about dual cards then or what

[informal]

I don't think he lied,he simply didn't know what was inside and just guessed.
And you have to rememeber one important thing here:the system was air cooled.No extreme cooling ,just some good ol' air.

yeah sure

but with 3x gfx cards that is nothing special

ASSUME MY ARSE He specifically said when i clocked it with two (2) cards
there is no I THINK IT WAS TWO THERE
f'kn lier

[DeathReborn]

Maybe he meant 2x Dual RV670XT cards in there, but most likely just him trying to get a lot of hits.

Yep,go tell him lol

i don't think so

Yep,go tell him lol

i'm sure he reads these
i know his fellow works used to at least

hmm.. rd790 support ati autoexpress.. do you think it will boost the score to reached 30k?

Nobody really know what the performace numbers will be when you combine all three components working together with 790 chipset, multi-gpu, with quad phenom. I strongly think AMD got something up its sleeve and it will be a software to hardware optimization.
