Bulldozers first screens

[Morais]

Hmm... I find this a leak

[stangracin3]

i call it a fail. Super pi will never be that slow again...

[Morais]

theres also a cpu score for vantage

[Sparky]

There is a stock intel heatsink in that pic... on an intel rig. The AMD is to the right, almost off the picture.

[richierich]

They didn't want to get caught breaking the NDA so they went to a park to run benchmarks, lol

[stangracin3]

my moms windows 98 computer can do that...

[TheBlueChanell]

haha. awesome observation.

[Morais]

The cinebench score is too low. Cant say that to the other too since i dont run them.

[mAJORD]

this statement makes little sense, please elaborate.
so its neither one, so what is it?

somehwere between 800 and 2800Mhz?

It's clearly not 800Mhz.. Performance would never be that good.

Yet it's clearly not at 2800Mhz either, otherwise they might as well not even release BD at all with the leaked Clockspeeds it's launching at (3200Mhz - 4100Mhz turbo)


Several people in the thread that seem to be under NDA and have samples have stated, turbo mode, CNQ is not operating properly, and frequencies are obviously moving around somewhere below what the multi is set at.

These leaked benches are essentially useless, but good to create a laugh on the forums!

[RussC]

So, your saying the ES parts are not working properly! Great, do I take that to mean the parts are broken. Great. Why would AMD let parts out that don't work, whether the issue is software or hardware? Oh well

it indicates this chip is an early ES

with bulldozer coming in july (rumoured), all the parameters and bios should have been set in stones.

how about because it's an ES it's probably on an AM3 890Fx board that can't do that power gating right.

[Lanek]

I have just have to look on the 3Dmark vantage cpu score for understand something is highly wrong in the result, even with a dual core i get faster result .. ( and an old one ) ...

For the CB result ... even a dual core is faster .... my 2600K with 1 core ( 5ghz ) give 2.04 pnts .. so just imagine something is just not possible with the run they have made .

But this was before see the CB result ...

like i said my moms windows 98 can do that lol

Ahhh, I see it now. Thanks

set in stones? or set by stoners?

[ilkkahy]

I believe those results are real just because they are so lame. Anyway one shouldnt draw too negative conclusions about first ES benchs.

[FlanK3r]

Now that is an interesting piece of information
If we assume idle is 800Mhz,as it has always been,and apply 4x (3.2Ghz X8) to C11.5 score of 2.86 ,we arrive to 11.xx score,dangerously close to the score from leaked Donanimhaber slide . I dare not to apply 4x to the poor 3dmark06 score or anything else in that picture since it would go through the benchmarking roof .

Think, it is not possible about 800 MHz, maybe highewr, some about 1600 MHz or so...
Score is as Athlon X3 :-)...

[hurleybird]

Or perhaps something is intentionally obscured. Remember early Athlon ES leaks with the cache disabled? Obviously performance will not be worse than last gen though.

[NEOAethyr]

Hmm... I find this a leak

That's really odd.
I think it's windows not kicking in the extra power states.

I would recommend trying win2k3 or xp instead of vista/win7 just incase it was a buggy cpu driver and power management config.

Scores looks like an itx with gpu on the cpu, or an old amd socket a cpu.

[Nikolasz]

a buggy cpu driver and power management config.

MY dad using amd x2 3800+ and new xp driver fix crashes and exc.
New driver is in windows 7 when it got updated(or maybe comes with first install). Idunno about new cpus how they are. Lots of new x2 6000 series got replaced with new computers simply coz of unstable cpus-without drivers.

Thats sad news for old forgotten cpus.

[nonworkingrich]

It's not called benchmarking for nothing... look at all the benches in the background!

[Falkentyne]

like i said my moms windows 98 can do that lol

Can windows 7 even be installed on a Pentium?

[Spectrobozo]

Can windows 7 even be installed on a Pentium?

I saw it working on some K6 and PII, so probably...
also the "Pentium" name is used in some LGA 775, 1156 CPUs.

but that score (9300?) looks equivalent to something like a 2.8ghz Athlon II X4.

[Postmodum]

People say it has a aftermarket cooler ... as far as i remember, 980x comes with a pretty nifty cooler ... so ... maybe that cooler is the new "reference" for the 8 core?
