E6 3000+ ?great

[xenolith]

I thought E4 = manchester, E6 = toledo.

Correct. If they are failed X2 cores, they would be 1MB cached Toledos.

But really, what are the chances these are failed X2s?

Yeah, that may be...
When I posted, I was thinking that E3 = Venice, E4 = San Diego and E6 = both dual core cpu types.
Still, my point is that it would be nice to get the IHS off one of these to see what were dealing with. I may buy one just for that.

Gee, this sounds like AMD had so many bad X2s that they made the whole E6 line. I highly doubt this as it is a replacement for the E3 stepping (unless you're saying AMD doesnt even need to produce single core processors as the yields for X2s suck so bad ). Yea. Someone try to take the IHS off and get a good look. My friend just got his E6 3000+ today, and he may try some IHS stuff later.

One of my E6's week 28 from ewiz same code as the other guy's is doing 2.65 at 1.6 volts right now in my Chaintech. Can't get the other one stable at that speed on my brother's DFI, especially when we try to run the memory at a decent divider.

Once the other guy that posted the screen shot tells me what bios he's using, I'll try that on the DFI I have here.

Things aren't looking great for these cpus from my point of view, and I have two on hand.

Clearly, I'm not making any definitive statements. I'm only saying it would be nice to get a look at the core....nothing more, nothing less. It probably will end up being a 'normal' 512k, Venice die.....still, its worth taking a look if, for nothing else, the cooling benefits.

Remember the X2 has one large die with two cores unlike Intel that uses two dies with one core each

I use OCCT instead of Prime95, finds errors in seconds or minutes vs hours with Prime 95. Saved my brother and I lots of time.

I agree OCCT is faster.

I ran OCCT stability test, and it passed, but i ran prime after that, and it failed after 9 hours, which would mean occt isn't that great....

[Doom5]

The OCCT stability test sucks(the 30 minutes one). Use the torture test. I've had a cpu pass the 30 minute stability test, but fail the torture test in less than a minute.

Prime95 takes way too long to crash just when you think you're stable. OCCT is good for quickly finding a speed that's just too high, then backing down slowly until it runs stable for a few minutes, then hours, then run your Prime95, etc.

The chip I got isn't a very good chip, 0528 E6.

290x9 @ 1.7v on a Sonic Tower (no fan) 47C. Ambient is quite cold at night though guessing round 20-22C.

This is NOT stable, I've only done 8M superpi, will do more detailed stability analysis soon.

:300x9 not stable. 1.731v on the multimeter and I'm reluctant to push it any more since its on passive.

30mn vs 9hrs come on man!
Anyway if you want extreme stability I agree prime is better, but OCCT is just realy more time efficient, even the 30min test provide a decent stability - definitively better than 32M. And I apreciate the graphs that gets out.
About torture beeing more efficient than I´ll have to look a this, but seams to me quite odd if it don´t use the same presigers for both.

Well a large die should be easily spotted as opposed to just a single core die.... Anyone take it off yet?

You sure about the Intel twodies+onecoreeach? I think their 65nm chips are supposed to be like that to improve yields (they don't need two cores next to each other on the wafer to be matched), but they haven't done it yet with their 90nm DC parts.
