Here's a little teaser....

I think you guys misunderstood me....take a look at my avg. fps. @ 2fps, your opteron beats my octals

LOL, I was being kind to my Opty. I think it was actually less then one. You're cpu score is about double the one I had. It's like watching grass grow, reminds me of a few plastic surgery cases I scrubed in on.

[informal]

Rgr that Phil,in dual core rigs,mark06 CPU tests crawl around 0.5-0.8fps ,so Steven's octo rig is mighty fine in around 2fps

[JacKz5o]

3800 X2s OC nice.

[cky2k6]

nvm, i feel stupid...

Looks pretty tasty to me. I just don't know how much having dual cpus adds to the mix

[Lightman]

For comparison my X2 5600+ CPU score @3174MHz is 2402.
CPU1 - Red Valley 0.755 FPS
CPU2 - Red Valley 1.222 FPS

[STEvil]

Here's a couple woodcrest numbers if they help comparison for you at all steve

2x 5120 @ 7x402.5 (2.817ghz)
4x 1gb FB-DIMM
X1900GT 648/900

3d06 cpu score: 4403
test 1: 1.458fps
test 2: 2.127fps

Thats all I can get out of them at the moment.. but there's a bag of dry ice in my freezer

[KTE]

So Penryn on X38 and SkullTrial boards gets:

3DM 06 (CPU)
1x QC 3GHz (1333FSB) : 4569 (unreleased part)
2x QC 3.4GHz (1600FSB) : 6359 (unreleased part)
1x QC 4.14GHz (1840FSB) : 7000 (Kinc)
1x QC 5.2GHz (1600FSB) : 8092 (Kinc)

2x K10 2GHz : 4242

According to Intel at IDF. Not bad, not bad at all.

Thanks s7. Must be a good workout

s7e9h3n, gracias

can you run tests with only one cpu installed? it's not very hard to temporarily remove second cpu from socket (and its memory modules)

PS see my post http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=743

tbh, for some reason I'm thinking that 3d06 is calculating the cpu scores using only 4 cores max regardless of platform. also, everyone remember that I'm running the bench @ 200fsb vs. Intel's 333+ speeds...

[dinos22]

*On a side note: I don't know how you guys can stand to watch the CPU tests from 3d06. The bench moves along @ way under 5fps. There were moments when I began wondering if my Etch-A-Sketch could get better frame-rates than this rig

hahahaha sooo true

[funnyperson1]

The CPU score is pretty good actually, almost doubled up on my X2@2.95Ghz, which is pretty good considering the 950mhz disadvantage, so even assuming that quad cores double performance, thats quite the clock per clock advantage.

They almost match up with Stevil's dual woodcrests at 2.8 which again suggests a sizeable clock/clock advantage. I would love to see some oced numbers on these chips.

Yes, it would be impressive.....if I was running 4 cores. But remember....2xBarcelona = 8 cores

[funnyperson1]

Oh wow, I don't know how I missed that, for 8 cores thats kind of sad unless the benchmark only uses 4 cores.

[Lastviking]

s7e9h3n: cant Ati 2900 or Nvidia 8800 be modded to fitt in this board?, is one of the cpus coolers to close to the pci-e ? cant the cooler be modded on the cpu? so it can fitt.

[Calmatory]

So 4k for 8 cores @ 2GHz?

I get 2k with 2 cores @ 2.8GHz. ;_;

If this is correct, even it is server mobo & quite early server CPU, I would say that at least the current K10's are doomed, unless they clock to something like 5-6GHz.

Talking about extreme-end! ;D

Hello old friend,
Nope, the card would make it impossible to install any type of cooler on cpu1. BUT I possibly have a solution to end all questions about the true performance of these cpu's - A WORKING BIOS WHICH SUPPORTS BARCELONA ON THE ASUS L1N64!

Prepare to see some damage done to the ORB

[Blasar]

My hope is: like good wine, K10 gets better with time

Nice results for a CPU in a , definitively, non-optimised platform.

Is correct to assume that the desktop version of K10 will be much "better" than the server part?


EDIT: s7e9h3n we´re all expecting great things after those words...keep it coming...

[funnyperson1]

For comparison heres what I get if I clock my X2 at 2Gs:
CPU Score 1489 Marks

I hope for AMD's sake that 3DMark doesn't use all 8 cores, because if it does there is a performance gap that cannot be explained away by poor memory bandwith.

[largon]

I see no reason for performance difference being any other than zero percent (0&#37.
Just like with K8 server vs. desktop, it's the exact same chip in the end.

[informal]

Very good news s7e9h3n .How soon can you start testing ?

@largon

In case you didn't notice,both s7e9h3n and Dave Graham had various issues with their rigs,memory running in single channel mode and @poor clocks,cas latency is 5 and the memory is regged...Also these are B1s ,not BAs etc.

[MAS]

largon, because of memory

Phenom's conventional memory is ddr2 1066; as you know K8 (and obviously K10) performance is extremely depends upon memory speed. You can get 10 per cent or even more performance boost when replacing registered ddr2 667 with low-timing ddr2 1066

we are waiting for a new bios

[alfaunits]

s7e9h3n, how hot are the chips?
