NextGen VS. CurrentGen CPU: 3DMark06

[generics_user]

i don't believe that this runs on a RD790 board

just look at the NB frequency, do they use ganged or unganged IMC mode? (che k kyosens thread for more info on this) , their ram freq is weird (K10 doesn't derive mem clock from core speed like itt used to be on K8), the timings are not OK.

[KTE]

That 1600MHz HT frequency is I think half of what it should be. It's definitely low and the board either doesn't support split power planes or has no new BIOS support for that. Either way, it's nothing too short of what I expected of this arch by September. None of those CPUs impress me but the new Q9450 and Q9550.

[BeardyMan]

NB freq shoudl be 2.6ghz and not 1.6ghz , yes it makes a difference, whereas HTT at 266 or 200 doesn't.

Again way to go expreview with this half complete review

[OBR]

run some better tests ... 3dmark06 cpu score is not good for performance compare ...

run PCmark05, or some games ...

[GoThr3k]

expreview ran 3D 06 because there were people requesting that bench

[expreview]

just like the crysis test,we have say that HT means nothing effi on real world test by destop system.

but anyone know why the HT is 1600MHz? on 200MHzX15 Phenom X4 system.

here comes 3Dmark06:

thank you for your contribution

HT means something. it provides direct links to other pieces of hardware with out going through the FSB.

thers no fsb on amd chips (at least not since k7...)

Currently, on desktop setups, all of the bandwidth of HT1 is not fully utilized. HT3 is pointless on the desktop. The only arena where it provides a significant advantage is in 4P and up servers.

strange
some members in here pointed out that HT1 become satured with only 2 cores

Proof please. Hearsay (especially from you) is worth nothing.

give me proof.

it is posted a couple of times....
just use the search button...

EDIT// if you don't believe it,your problem...
dont complain because you are to lazy to search for it

YOU made the claim. It is therefore YOUR responsibility to BACK IT UP.

I'm not your mamma little boy. I won't do your homework for you.

[mstp2009]

give me proof.

Will link it when I return from work (I'm late right now and forums are blocked by the proxy at work).

and please dont show of a singlecore.....

just noticed. i dont know how much the 3.0GHz version will be, i am gunna gues around $400 but looking at those scores. who wants to pay $700 more for a QX9650 for only 1000 more points in 3dmark. intel is overpriced.

You think AMD is gonna sell a 3GHz Phenom for $400?! LOL

At this rate I doubt if they can get a 3GHz Phenom out before they reach 45nm...

Intel is overpriced? What about the $266 Q6600, which probably beats the 2.4GHz Phenom in most benchmarks.

[GoThr3k]

intel is overpriced at the high end because there is no competition there

wtf are you talking about.... EE was always 999$ (1000€) since the introduction of the extreme editions with the P4... actually the lost money by keeping the price constant since 2004... (inflation)

the other 2 EE you see coming in 08 are more like über extreme editions and its only logical to settle them on a higher price spot.

Why are you talking about EE?
EE is dead as far as i know

[generics_user]

NB Freq should be much higher at these clocks (IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS NB FREQ= L3 FREQ), these tests don't give us any new information, only that they could take an opteron and get the same results

we need results with proper NB speed, DDR3-1066 with the best stimings you can reach with stock chips rated for these speeds for K10 and some vorkfield scores using X38 with top DDR3 speeds supported officially by X38 mobos and ram sticks.

then we can draw some conclusions, but not with these worthles POS tests

uhn dont play dump...
Core x Extreme = replacement for EE

save your flame baits for mstp2009

i just lowered myself to your level.....
i was merely given an explanation why intel prices are considered high at the high end....
