false misinformations = true informations

heh, that's right up there with my favourite phrases "i didn't say nothing," and "you don't know nothing."

[biohead]

false misinformations = true informations

mon pointe exactly

[LinusTech]

My personal favorite is "I could care less".

So many people are too lazy to say "I couldn't care less" without realizing that by saying they "could care less" means they do care about the issue.

I just got dual 2347 and now running with DDR2 800 ecc reg & 8800GTX on Tyan S2932. Now installing window 2003 server 64bits. What do you want me to test now? I will do it tonight.
And i will compare it with dual xeon 5320 2.0ghz tomorrow.

NICE, looking forward to your results, hopefully this is the first non buggy k10 system on xs lol

[cky2k6]

run superpi, sandra mem bandwidth, 3dmark06, cinebench. basically, just look over this thread for more ideas.

About friggin time (not you personally).

Run EVERYTHING.

Personally requesting - wPrime, Cinebench, some form of DivX encoding, RAR/UNRAR/ZIP test, and whatever else you can think of that has not been mentioned here.

Ehhhh uuummmm lets see.........maybe every benchmark known to man would be a good start

[Dresdenboy]

Prime95 benchmark results might be interesting for the crowd at mersenneforum.org. Most recent version seems to be http://www.mersenne.org/gimps/p95v255a.zip
which includes multithreaded tests.

1st: Cinebench R10. How about that point?
I will do more. And Good news is this barcelona can OC. I oc to 2.0ghz.
The bad news barce need more good mainboard.
I will have Supermicro suppor DDPM and will try more.
I am tweaking this mainboard too. S2932 now have option to run DDR2 1066 in bios. I want to know enable exactly NUMA in bios, please help me.
Super PI is 41s , barce not for PI. And mean nothing.
I will test render in 3Dmax tomorrow.

Very nice score for a 2ghz run

Thanks in advance for your time!

And as your screen shot shows CPU-Z is recognizing K10 rev. BA as A in stepping field!
Can you also make shot of CPU-Z memory information TAB? I like to see how your board is clocking it!

And the Cinebench score of 12541 he got almost exactly matches the scores we saw from the techreport Barc reviews last month (slightly slower in fact).

http://techreport.com/articles.x/13176/5

Is there any meaningful benchmark evidence as yet that the barcs that had been sent out for review last month were somehow performance crippled as someone here had claimed?

[KTE]

Good job linhvndiy.

Regardless of what transpires I have bad news, in a way inevitable. I asked my boss at work of any news or contact with AMD and he told me he had contacted all the major and local server vendors for a possible order on Barcelona servers many times and was told repeatedly that they have no Barcelona processors for their platforms although everything else is ready because of very short supply and high demand and the next availability date is not known but most likely November. Every one of them stated AMD is having supply problems since the launch. The communication took place over the last week.

[Viper666]

the strait line is INTEL

anandtech

"Notice that the Intel CPU has the advantage when it comes to raw processing power: it is about 19% faster in a single CPU configuration. Once you add a second CPU in both systems, that 19% lead is turned into a 3% advantage for AMD"

What he didnt say here is the Intel is clocked 17% higher and still got beat by 3% on 2 processors

that would be scaling better than 100%
Sorry it wasnt the test using Intels compiler

My Barcelonas will be here Thursday and my KFSN4-DRE is on the table

I can get you a few 8347's

[Viper666]

Send them here ,ill takem

[s7e9h3n]

Send them here ,ill takem

If you're serious about purchasing them, drop me a PM and we'll work out the details

[kyosen]

My Barcelonas will be here Thursday and my KFSN4-DRE is on the table

I also have prepared KFSN4-DRE, now waiting arrival of rental Barcelona

This board has DDR2-400, 533, 667, 800, and 1066 setting.

And old ClockGen for nForce 4 works fine on this board.

Beta BIOS 1004(though it's not for -DRE but for -DRE/SAS) shows that
it includes AGESA version 3.1.1.1...which is latest I've ever seen.


Sorry for hijacking your thread, s7e9h3n...
I deeply appreciate your exclusive support

You actually want to get one of those misbehaving things? Better than 100% scaling or no, I prefer working systems.

[Viper666]

ASUS now shows a 1006 bios for dre :d oops mistake wrong board


but what you have is exactly what I got same rev how about sharing that bios

Oh, thanks for your info...I must ask to my contact

Cool, waiting for you result. I will test the 3Dmax render now. Then compare with xeon 5320. I dont belive anand result.

[JohannesRS]

Hey, he "somehow lied" about superpi, but he commented about Cinebench!

And now that theree are finally BAs around, really looking forward to see direct comparisons against Xeons!

By the way, can someone confirm/deny ccNUMA and dual-channel bugs? Are them working properly on this BA processsor?
