45nm Phenom Overclocked, Super Pied

[RhoXeD]

For AMD, that's good, (even though it is a pretty pointless benchmark IMO ). I'm looking at CPUZ though and hoping that either it is misreading the voltage or that the retail chip will not need such a huge amount, 1.568V

hokiealumnus, as far as F@H being slower on AMD compared to intel, I've heard it said that it is because F@H uses the intel compiler, and the intel compiler just simply isn't as 'friendly' to AMD CPUs. Now that's just what I've heard someplace, don't know if it is true or totally way off Probably more due to architecture design differences probably, I know the A64 did better at F@H than the P4 did, by quite a bit (though netburst just sucked overall lol) because of that.

That chip is overclocked, i think the link tells you, but maybe i read it somewhere else.

I wonder where they got that sample from. Can even be an separated model from binning, which would explain the high voltage requirements for 45nm.
Super Pi 1m does not say much about stability, but a +10% boost in that benchmark looks good.
The results in terms of voltages and frequencies look similar to 9950BE's on the edge. Good to see the chip can handle high voltages at 45nm. I think they did not look for the lowest possible voltages they simply started at 1.225V.
It's a nice glimpse, but to reason anything beside an speed boost in super-pi out of this preview is useless.
