How Many Cores?!?!?!

[Movieman]

Took you some time to find this thread Dave!

yes, I admit it. I'm slowing down but maybe, just maybe next week I can show a taskmanager SS with 24 threads also..

Has this new SS anything to do with new toys produced on 32nm tech. and clocking like crazy?
You would need Quad Socket board though ....

32nm yes, quad socket no..
12 cores/24 threads..
Now lets get back to Steve's monster..
Hey Stephen, get your arse in here with some benches or do I have to CALL you!

Oh!
I forgot virtual cores

Not to derail this thread any further, Stephen come back with some nice info/tests to cheer us up before Christmas!

Ok this AMD got my atten !
More plzzzzzz

oh man... doesn't nda in place for this?

3dmark06 sneak peak would be awsome:-)

3dmark06 sneak peak would be awsome:-)

I wonder what that would be good for?

[TheGreenFoX]

To see how well it performs pr clock

[muziqaz]

I think you can get better apps to measure that. I don't think 3dmark would be the best for that.

agreed, 3dmark is about speed not cores..
cinebench, wprime, thats where the dualies shine..
Also Alex Yee's pi app y-cruncher is excellent for this.

yes and no, 3dmark06 cpu test is stil a great cpu r*****

Does not work.. at least it doesn't work on a DP Westmere-EP (which has 24 threads as well). Just throws an error upon starting the test. I guess it can't handle more than 16 threads, just like CB10.

Not for me. I ran 3DMark06 on my dual gainestown at 3458mhz w/EVGA 260GTX and the scores were SO bad I was embarrassed by them.
I think the score was in the 19,000 range..
Speed not cores is what you need for that bench..

euhm yes, but i was talking about cpu test alone, and then compare them to singlke, quad or anything else, you would notice a diffrence though

yes, agreed, I think my cpu score was huge.. 8900 or something like that.
it's been a while..

Just checked.
score was 19042 and cpu score was 8341

you see! that's indeed power

i want to feel blue as well

Anyone know what happen to Stephen. its been over 2 months since his last post

[muziqaz]

busy, getting in line for bulldozer ES chip

Anyone know what happen to Stephen. its been over 2 months since his last post

I think he is working... and to much , i think he is a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ostar or something with to much work

[moiraesfate]

Holy crap. Is that real?

Ahh can't wait for 2010 and 2011,it's gonna get even more exciting .

OMG did u people see this???

And killer thing is if this is only 1S setup 42s OMG

as far 128kB+128kB L1 cache goes that might be just cpu-z misinterpret as it could be that now when bullydozer have X2 inside core they decided to put whole X2 size of cache inside core. Is this cache shared between FP/ALU on core level?

I know that being pessimistic is less favoured here, but I always thought that this early in development (over 1 year before launch) if there is a working silicon, then it will be hidden deeply in AMD U.S. labs for internal validations. Not in OEM hands somewhere in far east.
Just look at Intel leaks, they are maximum 6 months before official product launches, that's when OEM's and ODM's are getting their first samples for validations.

aGreed with you ... but you're wrong about AMD. Just ask s7 when he get his G34 batch of Magny-Cours chips? It seems few month before schedule for me if we're talking about usual 6 month engineer validation time.

As some sites reported AMD had working 32nm proto-production in September so it might be some SOI prototype (far fetched) or it might be fake as usual on that chines pop-PR sites

It's a real question could CPU-Z 1.52 detect 32nm CPU, AVX instruction an fake steppings if cpu-z author don't even know which specification to address!



btw. s7 why this Magny-Cours sample has only 10MB of L3 cache when 2x Istanbul die should carry 12MB of cache? They deliberately sacked that part of cache for ES? (and could you pleas post SS in png format is somewhat smaller for those kind of pics)
