Six-Core Thuban Benchmark leaked

are you sure? if yes its a "turbo-flop"!

It's a little disappointed that turbo will take no effect when all 6 cores are loaded.

But I suspected that AMD's turbo will still works when the cpu is being highly overclocked, such as when overclocking to 4G, turbo will pull the loaded single core to 4.5G

There are a lot of application that load 4 cores but not 6, so, this choise is good for me.
For overclocking, I think that disabling "Turbo" and C&Q is more common

Hmm i'm not really overwhelmed by those benches tbh. I'd like to see some benches at 4GHz for a good compare.

Yeah, it's a good decision, imo. Totally makes sense.
Should be perfect for stability, too.

[AlleyViper]

Scaling under cinebench seems ok per MHz, I'm not used to 32bit scores but I was under the impression that a 4x4GHz does about the same 12.5-13K as this 6x2.8GHz.

nice info about turbo, thnaks

A comparison with my precious:

2.6Ghz 620

Turbo will be good for people that dont overclock, but make the cpu unstable if its not shut down when we oc (well the guys that push a bit higher at least). Also if you are overclocking youd prolly set the voltage to a higher level, as an example like I have mine set at 1.57v at 4.2ghz now ......with turbo on wheres it going to send that one core? 4.6ghz at 1.63v?? It will be interesting to test though.

Im particularly interested to see if we will be able to set affinity for certain cores, ex. 4 cores on a game 2 cores for background tasks.

I guess that the effect of AMD's turbo might be maximized by manually overclocking. When finding out the max voltage the cpu can suffer, control the "turbo voltage" slightly less than max voltage, then efficiency will be maximized.

I would love to see Linx bench's (1GB).

Most games will GAIN performance because of the turbo. It`s only encoding apps and those that rely on all cores (including WCG) etc that would lose performance.

And don`t tell me about Multi-threaded games, because we`re not there yet. There isn`t a single game out there today that would lose performance from a higher clocked single core than 6-lower clocked cores.

GTA 4

[PaganII]

Metro 2033 an AMD 965 with 2 cores disabled scores the same as Intel 980 with CF 5870s.

[zalbard]

GTA 4

Unreal Engine 3 can utilise 8 cores (threads) as well.

Who can tell me what's going on with the speedup of Istanbul? It ups to 5.68x but Thuban have only 4.6x in 32bit?

GTA 4

Isn't gta IV just 3 terrible threads of pure ram rape?

I am 100% sure 0A1Ch is a 2P mobo. that means there are 2*2435 cpu's

I cannot sure this is 2P mobo. But Look at the cpuz, the "Processor #1" cannot be selected, so there's only one cpu.

[FlanK3r]

hm...i tested today 32-bit and than 64-bit with my "likely" CPU setings for low TDP





3.59 vs 3.61 ...But what i know, efectivity 12 threads Gulftown is under 6x (5.56x at x64) !

Speedup is nothing but the multi score divided by the single score.

Thuban has a lower speedup factor due to CPB making the ratio of single to multicore performance less linear. The single thread is running at 3300 while the multi score is running 6x2800.

I don't care about stock clock benches regardless of the turbo feature.
where the OC results lol. we fine tune this 6 shooter for max performance.

though turbo is nice for non Ocer's and single/dual threaded things

Considering the chip appears to perform almost exactly as one would expect a Phenom II + 2 more and it's running 50% more cores and cache for at most 31% more TDP I'd expect it won't exactly be a beast of an OC'er, but we'll see.

Just for the hell of it I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it will be about as hard to get a 1090T to 3.7 across all six cores as it is to get a 965 to 4.0Ghz today.

AMD Brings Phenom II X6, Eyefinity6 to PAX
9:10 PM - March 27, 2010 by Devin Connors - source: Tom's Hardware US

Intel got its six core CPU to market first, but AMD's Phenom II X6 offerings are just around the corner.

While Nvidia might be stealing the show so far at PAX East, AMD is here with some new hardware of their own. While a lot of what was revealed is still under embargo, here's some clarification on what's coming in the next several months.

[tbone8ty]

AMD did confirm that its six-core processors will be under $300, including a Black Edition variant, which puts them at the same price point as Intel's Core i7 860, 920 and 930 and well below the $1000 asking price of Intel's Core i7 980X Extreme. Without getting too specific, AMD talked about several features present in the Phenom II X6 CPUs that line up well with features found in the competition.

under $300, wow thats awesome!
