SIX is Sexy! (Unboxed)

[Manicdan]

As I said in another thread, just open 6 CPU-Z instances and set each one to different core!

thats why AMD/ATI have eyefinity, cause u will need the extra desktop space to watch your cores play wack-a-mole with windows scheduler

True!
And they want to implement Holodec technology just before Bulldozer arrives

Thanks for comments guys

Hey ridney ,nice results and thanks for s
haring! I have some good news regarding your remark about Turbo Core kicking in for a second or two. I checked myself and your scores for single core run in C10 64 bit are indeed done at 3.3Ghz and later on @ 3.95GHz . Your results are exactly 18% and 41% better than what you would get with stock 2.8Ghz with no Turbo CORE ON . You can check it by disabling Turbo in BIOS and then rerunning the single thread test again.You should score ~2970 points in that case (I checked it out with my K10 Quad @ 2.8Ghz ).
So the fact that you do see 2.8->3.3Ghz change "lasts" for a few seconds doesn't mean it actually is the case in reality since Turbo CORE is said to change the clocks VERY fast and dynamically on various cores if there is thread bouncing going on in the OS.

Thanks for the analysis informal, that certainly is good news. Will try to re-run cinebench on stock clocks without turbo soon, but one thing's for sure, turbo core is working and it's great. I might be running this x6 with CnQ and Turbo

Thanks for sharing m8!!!

Very nice pics, and a good analysis!

I'm with informal in this one, it looks like Turbo is working great, and the freq. changes too fast for CPUz to notice. Those scores seem too high for 2.8Ghz, it must be working at 3.3Ghz most of the time, if not always.

From wich core CPUz tells the clockspeed? If it's Core0, and Windows is distributing threads to different cores then CPUz might not catch the speed up because the Core0 wasn't affected by it.

Good catch Andi64, that's what i thought too. Maybe i'll try to run cpuz for each core to really see if turbo is picking up on three cores.

Can you do some prime or linx test for 3.95GHz.

Will do (prime95, i don't have linx), but perhaps a little bit later or tomorrow as the time is already quite late

Did you try OCing with the stock cooler, I see you have a waterblock? How did it do if you did? Thx

i would've loved to try the stock cooler as it looks quite nice with four heatpipes but i have to take down the whole rig down just to stick it in there. water is good

chip looks good

and its kinda funny that you set the speed to 3360mhz, and the turbo of just under 4ghz didnt cause a crash. guess they gave it plenty of volts, and most people can just buy a 125W 1055T and add 30-40 to the HTT and let the rest do the work, free 20% boost in speed and still good with the CnQ

yeah i kinda agree, i think this solution is more economical without compromising performance. actually i did 250 HTT with all settings at auto and everything were good. turbo went 4.125ghz

Nice cpu Ridney and thanks for the info. Looking forward to where it will land, temps look good for sure!

Thanks zeus, i believe the temps are quite off, ambient temps were about 29c but hwmonitor shows the cores idling at below ambient, at 24c. my x3 was idling somewhere around 34c at the same ambient temps so something is wrong here

At the screen you showed ,settings FID 12 and DID 0 gives you x14 multi which is stock, try FID14 and DID 0 ;-).
Check with cpuz.

okay i got your idea, i will try this tomorrow as i need to doze off already

yeah try using rivatuners built in cpu frequency monitor then you will be able to tell

six is sexy!

i thought rivatuner is for gpu's only? will look into this as i have a rivatuner

[duron]

six is sexy!!!
just got a call from my supplier, stocks came in today but also went out in an instant!

will my plants grow fastor in farmville with those core?

[ajaidev]

I love the way CPUz reports 6 cores @ 3.3Ghz when turbo is active, in a way its true because 3 cores are sleeping and in a way its misrepresentation because all the cores are not at 3.3Ghz

thats why AMD/ATI have eyefinity, cause u will need the extra desktop space to watch your cores play wack-a-mole with windows scheduler

Thats the reason i need 3 monitors

rideny: nice, nice benchies! How is the max potencial this chip with turbo disabled? Cinebench score 20 000+? ,-) And here is LINX to download (right up button download, but think, u know what is it :-D )

wow thats just nuts.
i was thinking of waiting for the 95W version cause i like the idea of using less power, i shaved off 40$ a month by turning off my pc at night and using CnQ and a lower powered GPU (an overvolted 2900xt costs more in electricity than it does to just purchase, at 400$, lol)

but looking at that, 1.45v being good enough for 4+ghz is very promising, think u can stress test 3 cores being turbod? not sure what would do that right, i can only think of games that would use 2 cores and seeing if its still stable. i wouldnt need 100% stability, just stability while gaming, so either 2 fast cores, or 4 kinda fast cores.

Nice to hear Mad you got one too
Can't wait to see it in action under LN2

omfg it's in Sim Lim?

How much did you get it for?

Ridney do you not know that over 230 ht on these chips is impossible? http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardwar...-4ghz-on-air/1

AMD’s upcoming 6-core desktop CPUs being overclocked, and the chip hit a whopping 4 to 4.2GHz with a very good air cooler.

That said, this type of overclocking will be limited to Black Edition models, due to HyperTransport limits. As with the original 65nm Phenoms, these new 6-core CPUs will hit around 230MHz on the HT clock before refusing to go any further - so you'll need to use multiplier overclocking, which requires the unlocked multiplier you get with a Black Edition CPU.

Did they break NDA to say that?

When did 230 become impossible in K10?

[Manicdan]

When did 230 became impossible in K10?

the same time the cold bug was at -40c

[El Gappo]

When did 230 became impossible in K10?

When did 4.2 become whopping? lol GG bitech GG

[RaV[666]]

Wow.What a load of bull. It seems so massively ignorant that it cant be possible, yet its posted.Well as some of nice chaps here have already demonstrated 300Mhz HTT is no problemn :-D

[crazydiamond]

what a joke.. how can they even say that, "As with the original 65nm Phenoms, these new 6-core CPUs will hit around 230MHz on the HT clock before refusing to go any further"... wtf are they talking about? not even phenom I's had 230htt limit. someone should give them a lesson on amd overclocking and ask them where they got that ridiculous info. hopefully they are buying their own review samples because giving them one seems like a waste if they have no idea how to overclock it

These are the UK's guides to "what's hot" in the UK - so sad...

I promise to do my best to beat em in GOOC 2010 UK

Core looking smexy - and nice temps on air! So much cooler than i7!

[[XC] Oj101]

I have to , 4.1GHz at under 1.5v without a crash? That's INSANE! I can't wait for mine

lol while your at it tell them not to let intel fanboys near amd again

Good look tomorrow I'll be watching
