If these tests have already been posted let me know and I can deleted them? There are so many threads of the BD I just haven’t gone through them all.

I ran a few tests on the FX4100 using two cores one module and then two modules one core each. The bios in this AsRock MB uses the terminology “cores” and “units” so I guess the units are modules? The idea was to test a total of two threads on either one or two modules/units. For all I know maybe this isn’t the proper way to test this but at the moment I can’t think of a better way.

The tests weren’t done for comparison of the FX4100 to another processor be it AMD or Intel but only to find the difference if any based on what I stated above.

The down clocked processor test speed of 3.2GHz is just a setting I was using for another set of tests nothing else. The test speed setting not shown in the SS’s is the Northbridge which was 2600.

The OS is a lite version of Windows XP 32-bit and it’s pretty much beat up from past testing but it should be ok for these tests.

SPi 1M and pifast are only there to show that there is no real difference in those single thread tests but as seen in the SS’s, the multi thread tests show a difference.

the only test i haven't see is AID64
try running AID64 on them to see any write differences on the caches. when running one "unit" each compared to a "two cores" in a unit.

also try Intelburntest set to 4 threads vs 2 threads.

run it normal with 4 threads then set 2 threads to see if it's lower. might want to try setting affinity with AOD/taskmanager on that or something.

then run it one two separate "units"

the on one "unit" for both cores.

Thanks for the suggestions demonkevy666.

It's not looking good for me testing anything for a while as the chiller developed a leak, so I've been cleaning up a lot of windshield washer fluid today. What a mess.
