3700+ San Diego (review) and 4000+ Clawhammer comparison

[cpulloverclock]

Today Misteroadster has got a 3700+ San Diego and 4000+ Clawhammer by Gigabyte

so he will test both for a comparison, performances and overclocking

here is the link

wow lucky guy

[Kunaak]

them 3700's should be some nice CPU's.
affordable, if at 2.2 ghz only with a 1 meg cache.
not bad

after all, 11x300 isn't too hard to get with a DFI and some good TCCD... oh yeah, and some serious cooling of course, but still... more affordable then a FX55 atleast.

[Korpse]

sweet

really hope the 3700 sandy ocs well as im wanting to get one but if there stinkers like clawhammer ill get a venice

[drunkenmaster]

reason i didn't pre-order a venice or san diego is with amd bringing opto's 6 4-5 months forward for release, sorry dual core opto's, that means dual core desktops can be made also as they are the same chips less one pin and minimally altered mem controller if at all.

release for desktop dual cpu's is supposed to be today now as i expected same as optos. supposed prices are $550 for a 1mb total cache 2.2Ghz and $580 for the 2mb total cache 2.2Ghz, i suspect the first price is very wrong, and is probo gonna be a good deal cheaper and with 2.2ghz base speed, overclocked will be fine for gaming now, and over the next year clock speeds will barely rise, but apps supporting multithreads will become very mainstream so the chip will essentially get faster over the next year. bit more than i wanted to spend but will in 6 months to a year be way faster than a 3700 san diego. thats my choice

[Ubermann]

Drool for a year sounds horrible.
<- like my kid then..but he gets everything.

[HardcoreNL]

DAMN!!! 800MHz overclock with 1,35V @ 3,0GHz damn.

I want to know how it does on air

[d@rkn1ko]

3700+ with dod

[cpulloverclock]

3700+ with dod

no, chiller

3155MHz benchable at 1.4v

not impressive OC. 31xx @ 1.45v and -30C waterchilled...
Nothing revolutionary, but still "nice"

I dont think about -30°C

nearly -20°C

how much did you expect? 3400 @ 1.20v? pfff... lol

[Sentential]

how much did you expect? 3400 @ 1.20v? pfff... lol

Sure why not

[eviLRuLeZ]

ahah nice

[d@rkn1ko]

I know

[skirms_fr]

how much did you expect? 3400 @ 1.20v? pfff... lol

prefere 4.2 @ 0.8v

[MaxxxRacer]

cool. thanks for the link!

[HKPolice]

for a $340 cpu, this is kickass.

Probably do around 2.8-2.9ghz on air @ 1.6v?

[Fzero]

great results for its price

[misteroadster]

Yes , this chips performs and overclocks a little better than my FX55 !!
Same improvements than Newcastle->Winchesters.
Better in superpi, CpuMark, Games ....Everywhere; not a huge but better.
All i can say is "FX55 owners, you can sell yours babies now, it will be hard soon"
Mine is already sold

[nordik]

Nice review, thanks !

[misteroadster]

It's not ended, i will compare Sandiego/Claw in a lot of benchmark soon
I started with Overclocking because i know you like that
THX

[misteroadster]

I'm actually running 3DM2001 in looping at 3Ghz, water at ambient temp.

[mrlobber]

I knew 3700+ Sandy would be my choice and it obviously is

[shuRe]

the results arnt revolutionary, but to be hoenst for air overclockers they are, the majority of people dont use phase or chilled water 24/7 so its deff an improvement
