1) Normal ES: Available to partners and press before the product actually launches. These are usually close to retail parts, maybe one stepping/node before retails. From my experience (I've had access to AMD & Intel ES CPUs before the official launch around 8 years) normal ES CPUs are actually usually worse than retails because manufacturing process develops all the time and retails keep getting better. Every Phenom II press sample (not even marked as ES but couple weeks earlier than retail parts) I've tested so far have been worse than normal retails.
On a side note we hit the 7300 mark today. Lets push that further guys.
7300, another barrier!
We will pass the team at 7400 yet! The cascade will definitely help me in getting up in the rankings, its on the way!
Keep it up the amazing work guys!
wooo awesome job you guys...7314pts
linuxfan also overtook me ....this is good
IMO you are superior Honda.... your global points are better and you were at 290 boints...
You can get back up there!
We'll see what I can do soon...
When are you going to get to bench some more Honda?
Testing a new i7-975 right now, passes 3dm06 at 4915 MHz under single stage a shame it coldbugs at -60° C with my luck even a Phenom 965 C3 will probably be coldbugged.

4.9ghz is good.
Why don't you run some Wprime 32M and 1024M as well? You can gain some global boints there...
Shoot for a 4 second Wprime 32M, I think that'll be 10+ boints and its much better than your 5.6sec one up now...
That's why I need to grow some benching discipline - I'm missing too many points just because I didn't have proper OS or certain benchmark installed at the time...

xoqolatl,
I sort of had the problem to, here's what I did to break it.
I have 2 installs of XP ripped, 1 vista and 1 win 7.
Initial testing I do on phase before I break out the more volatile stuff.
Once I have ballpark cold I use 1 xp as a sacrificial lamb, find the max bench of all benches, jot them down then can the OS that most likely got corrupted finding maxxes and start benching the fresh installs per OS biased bench.
Benches are all installed on a seperate drive save a few things that need to be on OS drive, such as bits and peices of vantage and 06 and cpu-z 1.52X, this allows you just to drag shortcuts over to all OS's.
Hope this helps.
We should chat somewhere more privately on AMD benches

This sounds good! What mainboard are you on?

Top 5 Global WPrime is great! Those results will give some serious points once Gulftown is released!

Thanks chew
Problem is, I usually don't have enough time to switch OSes during benching. I rarely have a whole day for benching, more like 2-3 hours a time, and in that time I usually fight with clocks not with software. I'm trying to do serious benches when I have time to prepare everything. All results I am really proud of have been made after long hours of sitting in front of a monitor, listening to rotary compressor... nothing good ever came from short sessions of benching in a hurry. (yes, call me captain Obvious )
As for AMD benching, there are a 965 C3 and a 790FXT-UD5P here that are begging to be frozen but it'll be at least a week until I can arrange "something volatile" as you call it.
EDIT: I'm on Classified 760, with 1,575 volts real

So most likely no chance to go higher with another mainboard...
4.9 GHz on an i7 is not that bad anyway, just do as many benchmarks as you can. With your 5870s you could gain some nice points in 3D. ( 05 + 06 ) Good luck!
Just don't forget there's a single card category as well!

Update: broke 30k in 3dm06 with a single 5870
This is just testing the CPU on SS, real benches with dice, Crossfire and hopefully a better CPU are incoming.
EDIT: oh an watch out Linuxfan, I'm aiming to be the 1# of all people using my sig template

Its a nice template!
We'll see if you can get ahead of me...
I'm lacking in global boints currently, and have run everything with single and dual cards....
Keep on working the 5870, the CPU boosts your score a lot in 3DM 01-06!
I just submitted a 9.219s.
We should be in 1st place after they correct the data base mistake (it's arranging the positions from the greatest to the least).
You just got beaten by a guy with 9.203s at 4.95ghz...
Can you beat it and get your gold back?

Yeah I saw that, I can enhance all my scores cause I can bench 5Ghz++ with this CPU, problem is I don't have time for benching till xmas break now. Work and Wife are consuming me

I saw your new scores in your profile, a single 5870 is almost as fast as 2 4890s, with an i7 at almost equal clocks ( ~4.9GHz ). Those GPUs are so strong!
Good luck for your PCMark 05 runs!

As long as the US is in front in this round, it's all good. I'm afraid Germany will not score very well this time. I hope that will change next round, I will do my share in the AMD stage ( depending on which benchmark has to be run. ).
You should be able to get your golden cup back later on, at least as long as no one gets his Q9650 under LN2.
Something I really like about this competition are the short stages, the pros can't select dozens of processors and test them under LN2, this leaves a fair chance to normal guys on air that have excellent processor already and have done their homework with their gear.

xoqolatl still going strong with his i7 975 and his HD 5850, chew* is still running his Athlon II X4 low-budget setup, Xtreme_Solid is pushing a Core 2 E2200 and a Core 2 E7200 and Zucker2k managed to get the silver cup in the Q9550 SPI 32M category.
Last but not least the fourth XS team member has posted his results for the HWBot country cup. This time it's PcCI2iminal who is benching for Brazil. The other three members are thebluemeanie1 and Jor3lBR, both are benching for the US, and andressergio who is competing for Uruguay. Jor3lBR is also currently the no.2 in the Q9650 SPI 1M category.

That was just the pre-testing
Stay tuned for more points after database refresh
EDIT: My fresh results just got ranked:
Mostly single GPU benching with HD5850 and HD5870.
I am especially proud of PCMark05 and both Aquamark results, as I have never benched those before. PCMark05 was done on two Intel X25-M 160 GB gen2 drives.
I had a serious problem with Aquamark at first - scores were in range of 260-270 k. When I figured what to do to get proper scores I literally jumped from joy
