Here's a little teaser....

[Eldonko]

One shop in Akihabara starts Opteron demo!
http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba...elonademo.html
They use Tyan n3600M + Opteron 2347 x2.
...I must go there tomorrow

Thanks kyosen-san, please let us know what you see!

Just a little follow up to this:

dude learn to read i always said no linear not incremental.

Others kept saying wait and see more MHz will do wonders, is the stepping, etc..., that is a lie!

Just comparing E6420 and E6660, that have the same 25% clock diference.

Quake 4: - 7%
Unreal Tournament - 7,8%
Fear - 5,5%
Mpeg Encoding - 7,7 %
H.264 Enconding - 9,5 %
Cinebench 9.5 - 11,3 %
POV Ray 3.7 - 10.9 %

Tired of proving the point, more here:

Pretty obvious that at higher speeds K10 will be more competitive against c2d then at lowers speeds...

So where's the lie, and who's sold on what?

E6420 is 2.13GHz. E6600 is 2.4GHz 12.7% difference. lol.

Out of a possible 25/25, AMD achieves 15/25 or 60% clock scaling. Intel achieves average of 8.5 scaling from above. 8,5/12.7 is 67% clock scaling.

There are days where i just need more coffee

K10 were scaling 500mhz not 300mhz

2.93 vs 2.4 22% clock difference.
Quake 4 7.1% scaling
Unreal 17.8%
Fear 11%
MPEG 16.7%
h.264 19.2%
cinebench 23.5%
povray 21.6%

Average, 16.7% scaling out of possible 22% or 76%

Those aren't quad cores thery're dual core Intels and the Bacelona is 19/25 or 76%.

Once again that is diferent from K10 scaling linear or better.

This same thing happened to K8 vs C2D push MHz on both on stock and performance will get closer
