Barcelona Opteron 2350(B1) arrived

[Lightman]

Please calm down about scaling for SuperPI time...
I'll try it again, with K8 Opteron 2212 and K10, with same OS

Domo Arigato!
This will clearly show performance improvement between K8 and K10 in applications you will run!

[JohnMike]

And these are latecy test results with Everest Ultimate v4.20:
at 2.0G=200x10: 76.0ns
at 2.2G=220x10: 69.0ns
at 2.4G=240x10: 63.4ns

That's not bad... I think the «2.4G=240x10: 63.4ns» is not far form Intel Qcore @2.4Ghz.

I would like to know how far RAM can run on a K10 system... If can catch Intel systems...

[PhilDoc]

Thanks for all the hard work Kyosen. The L3 latency was pretty much expected. At this point no one seems to know how that will affect performance, but time will tell. Very supprised about the spi scores with gangled and ungangled. Could have had a better choice of terminology, lol, but maybe a repeat of the scores just to be sure. Looking forward to anything you'd like to run, looks great so far.

[hipro5]

L3 Cache had a good impact back in the days of P4 Northwood (Gallatin) CPU....You could gain about 4% - 8% more depending on applications....So IF Barchy gets ONLY 4-8% more than K8, It's the L3 Cache, so AMD isn't going to be that fast....If it gains more, then it will be OK....

Then let me tell you in advance, it will

Perkam

I do hope you're right *crosses fingers*

I do hope you're right *crosses fingers*

I dont know if this is a stupid question that was answered before, if that´s the case excuse me, but how does Perkam knows

that they will be better??


Nevertheless, i´m eagerly waiting to see the Phenom results, and i hope Perkam is absolutely right..

Perkam

not trying to be a party pooper... but its a pretty bold statement, and from all that's been said, its just a higher clocking process tweak. let me tell you, i will be ecstatic if its more.

[freeloader]

Any chance at some 2.6ghz love (or higher)?

BTW...good job! Finally nice to see some overclocking with these chips.

I'm not sure I like the way you opined that.

[BeardyMan]

Hmm strange

Quad core

look at that bios shot

it says

L1 = 512Kb, 128X4
L2 = 2048kb , 512kb X4
L3 = 2048kb
is it me or isn't that wrong?

[Mad_Man]

L3 is shared 2MB so its correct

[nesham]

You are wrong. Barca have 4x128KB L1 + 4x512KB L2 + 2 MB L3 shared cache.

It's you The l3 cache is shared....

LOL?

No it's you

his usage of the word was actually correct thanks for the definition mr. chaucer

[tsuehpsyde]

Thanks for the work Kyosen. Very much appreciated.

[tux08902]

Does it clock any higher?

[Viper666]

funny the L3 runs at the speed of the memory controller,on Barcy thats 1.8 @2Ghz on Phenom its alot higher ! I think I saw 4Ghz somewhere

[tictac]

so we can overclock l3 cache? wow..

[akaBruno]

Does it clock any higher?

I doubt it will without some more juice pumpin. We're lookin at a NF4 here not a 790.

Kyosen and Stephen are owed a debt of gratitude. They've taken crap chips to a level we haven't seen yet. On crap boards, I might add...

As far as I know... these guys are the only ones on the internet that have given us a glimpse of the AMD future.

Thanks guys,

BRUNO

[PhilDoc]

Imho, chipsets have always been a major problem for AMD and have hampered performance. Whether their own or other manufactures. The NF4 did happen to be one of the better though. Lets hope the new AMD 790 finally gives AMD users a great one.

Hum mine are running quite well TY on SUSE 10.3

[Gothic]

I think it only needs a single stage to find out that.....

Fresh water should do it. At least my opty coldbugs at 18c @ 363MHz HTT.
