Phenom X4 @2.4GHz PCMark Vantage score ...

[OBR]

You can do this test at home on your system, you will see how Phenom X4 perform ...

Config: RD-790FX, Phenom @default 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, HD3870 ...

Hm, very competitive scores! At the same frequencies ...

[RPGWiZaRD]

What's interesting is the "gaming" score. Any reason for this?

Strange that memory seems so weak on phenom?

2*64bit mode may be selected in bios.

i think it's score better with 128 bits mode

[OBR]

It was 128-bit mode ... This is setting before test ...

OBR thanks for the results,but couldn't you get a cas4 DDR2 ram?Today ,you can even get cheap cas4 DDR2-800 1GB modules.

As for mem. tests ,Phenom should have better mem. scores than AthlonX2.Don't know if it is BIOS setting,but your scores seem a bit low.

[BeardyMan]

so its scores better then a C2D paired with a much more heavier GFX?

Pwned

I beg to differ, your screenshot shows "Ganged mode disabled", i.e. unganged mode enabled and that means 2x64bit not 1x128. Explanation is here:

However that should be the best option for K10, I dont care if some bandwidth benches will suffer from decreasing scores, overall performance in a multithreaded environment should be better with unganged mode.

cheers

Everybody knows Nvidia Vista drivers are crap. I'd also like to see same graphics card used for both tests at same resolutions, and same OS environment, 32bit or 64bit.

[informal]

Yep and intel's "new gen" products really pwn Conroe/kentsfield ,by a whole ~6% or so on average.

looks like its gunna be sweet!
its a little faster then the Q6600. works for me

[OBR]

Before NDA ends i can tell this: At the same frequencies are Phenom X4 and Kensfield (Yorkfield is better anyway) very close, and performance is almost the same ... BUT, Phenoms cant to overclock so easily like Kensfield ... that a problem. My max stable Phenom is about 3GHz ... and Kensfield 3.6GHz and more ...

[nemrod]

Since when is 3870 faster than 8800GTX and since when c2d has 4 cores ?

Don't know how score the hd3870 on pcmark vantage...But you're right I've missed that it was a traditionnal AMD biased comparison... Compare a cpu with the same price, and the same number of core that a quad to a duo...


But at least orb give us a clear information:"At the same frequencies are Phenom X4 and Kensfield (Yorkfield is better anyway) very close, and performance is almost the same"

That is very encouraging. Thanks for the info. My only question is power consumption, and what heatsink are you using on the Phenom?

NIce.... that for sure BLOW... .... out of channel...

Well seeing how the Q6600 overclocks well over 1Ghz, then.....Phenom does suck. Not to mention Yorkfield.

Like a 400Mhz overclock compared to 1.4Ghz overclock. Yea. That could be problematic.

In this case not the Phenom or the actual CPU architecture suck, but the manufacturing process and maximal transistors switch speed.

So yea, basically Phenomenal suckage.

funny thing is that there are results at nearly stock voltage where phenoms runs at 3300mhz...

it becomes problematic soon.

Link?

Could you link this please, I have yet to see such information.
