Here are the results, i know i should include a source normally, but i cannot, because i dont want the site to get into any problems, any mod/admin can PM me though, but i dont want to throw such kind of info to the public

Time will tell I suppose just how accurate this is.

Info is good though, so thank you for posting.

[Mechromancer]

Those aren't bad results at all. It is the MySQL champion in these tests. I think AMD delivered on their performance gain claim over current Opterons with room to spare. Those latencies dropped tremendously.

[justthefax]

Just FYI:

AMD Opteron 2384: 2.7 GHz
AMD Opteron 2356: 2.3 GHz
Intel Xeon X5470: 3.33 GHz
Intel Xeon L5430: 2.66 GHz

For clock/clock comparisons: Optie 2384 vs Xeon L5430

[Trunks]

all it needs now is a Chipset with HT 3.0 support

[alexio]

If this is true then AMD did very well actually

The big question is: will it scale to more impressive clocks?

[MomijiTMO]

Power consumption is great.

[eric66]

hmmm really nice improvement

[Eson]

Memory Latency = L3 Latency + Memory Latency?
I mean can you somehow see if L3 got better latency on Shanghai vs. Barcelona?

L3 Latency = Intercore Latency?

sorry, dont know the answer, i got these results throug some logical thinking and playing with URLs

[terrace215]

In particular, the first few MySql tests are disappointing.

It would be much better though, if you would underclock the Shanghai to 2.3GHz, so the clock/clock comparison to Barc would be completely clear.

5430 to 5470 doesn't scale well, so i assume clock frequency doesnt matter that much?

The memory latency is just 2ns higher than the one for Dunnington's L3 array.

[PetNorth]

I did some numbers (BTW, power consumption is absolutely nice)

hmm with that in mind I think AMD has done a tremendous job with shanghai, but they will still definitely have to get their clockspeed up.

[Miss Banana]

Wow.
Amd is back?

[JumpingJack]

Yes indeedy... Shanghai is shaping up nicely.

Do you know if these were single or dual socket results ... I am assuming dual socket based on the numbers.

I think the intercore latency would be a better clue, and yes, it looks like L3 improved.

Bench: Sissoft Sandra 2009 - Intercore Latency
AMD Opteron 2384: 107ns
AMD Opteron 2356: 164ns

This would imply improved L3 latency.

[cegras]

It's nice to see tangible improvements across the block for the transition to 45nm.

[Hornet331]

thx, pretty much proofs that the "20-25% more performance" is not clock for clock.

anyway nice performance increasment for deneb.

btw. anyone wana normalize the opteron scores?

[justthefax]

btw. anyone wana normalize the opteron scores?

Here we go:

[demonkevy666]

these opertons are they still on the old HT ? like Barcelona is ?

[Hornet331]

I'm doing them. Update in a few mins

thx much appreciated.

[Periander6]

these opertons are they still on the old HT ? like Barcelona is ?

Yeah, the new HT is not supposed to be out till something like Q2 of next year. On the plus side, these are supposed to be drop-in upgrades for old Barcs.

[justthefax]

I hope I didn't mess up the calculations!

But IPC doesn't seem to be improved much. Perf/watt is greatly improved though

I can't think of any way that performance would drop, though, so hopefully these are the minimum amount of improvements.
