Barcelona Opteron 2350(B1) arrived

[kyosen]

Now I can control NorthBridge(Integrated Memory Controller) and HT Link multiplier
with good old WPCREDIT, in Windows

Yeah, I'm surprised, tictac...but Everest and CPU-Z tell so at least.

NB @ 200x9, K10(B1) 2350 original


NB @ 200x8, modified on 2350


And HT Link.
Originally, Everest and CPU-Z are showing different HT Link clock:


F0xC8 modified...now CPU-Z also shows 1000MHz = 200x5!:


F0x88 modified too...nothing occures, but it still works, at least:


And all 3 HT Link can be set at 600MHz = x3 multiplier:


Now I should try max FSB test...but very sleeeeepy.....good night

[mad_skills]

how much for those Opterons?

[tictac]

ok.. i eat my word.. lol.. its only 12midnight here.. come on.. share the might..

[BeardyMan]

ok.. i eat my word.. lol.. its only 12midnight here.. come on.. share the might..

do you have a vid for that?

just kidding :p

thx for sharing kyosen, looking forward to teh results

[Lastviking]

kyosen : good work there , and thx for sharing to bad you need to sleep

Those 2 2350's are my personal pair.....you should have asked a couple weeks ago as I had a *few* which needed homes .

[mad_skills]

no matter, i'm waiting for X4, i was just wondering how much were they going for when you bought them..

[zakelwe]

Look forward to max FSB test. With the possible voltage mods as well should be interesting. Hats off to Kyosen ( with Mr CPU-Z's assistance looks like some interesting results to come.

Shame the initial scores are 10% down on Kentsfield, I was hoping it would be 10% up to take up the slack of not being able to overclock as well. Hmm, maybe on final Spider release it will be about level.

Max fsb will be interesting indeed.

Here Phenom reached as much 3.3Ghz already. Although that is on a different platform and seems to be done by multiplier overclocking, I wouldnt be surpised if these Barcelona's had a lot more in them.

Well spotted v0dka.

3 builds from now, a few weeks and I hope I'll be able to test one an find out for myself. Lets hope 690G chipset works with these ... at least initially.

"Pictures of AMD Phenom 9600 processor

Pictures of AMD Phenom 9600 processor and CPU-Z screen shot. The name of the CPU is Phenom X4 with codename Agena. It is rated 65nm at a core voltage of 0.976v. The processor is labelled Phenom 9600 clocked at 2.3GHz. The CPU is installed on a NF560 chipset mainboard, that is the reason you see the HT is set to 1GHz. It has 512K L2 cache and 2M L3 cache."

Vcore only 0.976v o_0 Aint that looking good for the Phenom ?

[informal]

Yep,very low Vcore for 2.3Ghz quad core part .Where is savantu with his 1.52V claims for 2.5Ghz K10s ?

This could mean that for 3Ghz,one would have some serious headroom!
BTW ,this vcore is lower than the ones intel specced for 45nm C2Qs at the same freq.

Fixed it now

[ryboto]

thats pretty exciting! My x2 4000+ needs 1.025v for 2.1ghz...they've double the cores and upped the frequency versus the 4000 by 200mhz, and use .5v less. Performance/watt!

[j3pflynn]

This should come in handy for tweaking, if you can find it:

That is very nice headroom for a 2.3G part. 3G and at least one core at 3.3G. I do hope that's not going to be the highest end Phenom that will be comming out this year though. Was hoping for at least 2.6G myself.

[j3pflynn]

I do hope that's not going to be the highest end Phenom

At 0.976V Vcore, I seriously doubt it's the top.

Tweaking the all the different clocks could be quite a playground!

[Sparky]

I'm thinking the voltage of 0.976V is probably 1.0V rated, sometimes CPU-Z reads a bit off (reads mine slightly low on my opteron 165 as well).

The tweaking part would make it more fun for my money. The only reason I worry is that the chip seems to be sent out for review, although, I could be mistaken. Anyway, I'm sure that they will debuy higher.

[KTE]

That's a B2 step and very low voltage for a quad at 65nm. That's not ES either. Looks like it'll be multi's of 11.5x 12x 12.5x 13x and maybe 13.5x and 14x too. IF the CPU can get to 300HT, what a blower that'd be with these multi's.

Top part is higher than 2.5GHz. IIRC it's supposed to be a 2.8GHz for December but in October that depended on future production so they will probably have highest working part for release but very limited quantities (like QX9650).

[JohannesRS]

with all that power coming from the B2s, what can we expect from the opterons and the fasn8 plataform?

Btw, does anybody has any info if fasn8 will use HT1.0 or HT3.0?

[alayashu]

so many contradicting infos lately eh... Phenom slower than K8 in Crysis,
1.5V for 2.5ghz, 1.2V for GP9600 and now 1.0V for teh same GP9600... arghhh :S

though this '1V for 2.3Quads' reminds me of that saying: 'At 3ghz, the Phenoms
are stone cold killers, much faster than anything AMD and Intel has to offer today'

A real pleasure to read your thread kyosen, as usual you have some rather interesting info we can trust 100%. Also thanks to stephen for sending these chips on vacation

[kyosen]

I had been a bit busy, sorry.

Max FSB is around 245 for 2350(B1) on my KFSN4-DRE so far,
still Vcore&Vnb is 1.20~1.25V area, though...
...I intend to do voltage mods on this server board

BTW, Franck/cpuz is working hard for K10 support
Now CPU-Z can show NB clock, each core clock/multiplier, memory acccess ganged/unganged...

...and memory clock calc method is changed for K10...ratio against FSB, same as Everest.
It means that I had compared K10(BA) at 333MHz memory clock and K8 at 300MHz memory clock...
...comparison for K10(B1) and K8 was no problem, both were 333MHz memory in stock setting.
Then I tried again SuperPI4M for K10(B1) and K10(BA) at same core/NB multiplier.
I had expected ~1% = 1~2sec difference, but there isn't such a difference.
So, I was misunderstanding...now I should say B1 and BA is almost same performance,
at least for SuperPI.
Yeah s7e9h3n was/is right
