AMD Phenom II X4 940 3DMark Vantage score

I see nothing but a continuation of the potential for great news for us consumers in 2009! 😀

PII continues to generate the impression from leaked benches that it is going to be on par or better than yorkfield IPC.

This could really do to Intel's penryn and nehalem prices what the 4870 and 4850 did to Nvidia. Great news for consumers, not so great news for the competition's shareholders.

Lulz, first Nvidia brings back the FX5800 brand, and now AMD of all people is responsible for a new 'PII'.

Sorry, just funny to me 🙂

Yeah, the PII can be confusing

It can be confusing, but hopefully the context of its usage makes it clear we are talking about Phenom II and not Pentium II. There's only about a decade seperating the two and rarely do we talk about decade old processors in these forums unless it is about a 300A celeron.
 
Go AMD Go! Nothing could be better for the consumer then for AMD to pull some sort of hat trick that gives us some competition again.
 
Considering the massive IPC improvement shown on the Phenom II parts, I am starting to wonder if they actually fixed the TLB optimizations in the new part, rather than the simple eviction workaround that they did with the B3 stepping. I wonder if it now works as it was originally intended to work, and actually give a performance increase as it was supposed to. Now I have to go back and read the TLB optimizations that they had developed for Phenom again, so I can understand what they do again 😉 or at least when I have some time I will.
 
Uh...lets go over this again.

PII @ 3Ghz = CPU score of 10075
Q9450 @ 2.6Ghz = CPU Score of 10943

So it gets beat by an Intel part with lower clock speed and we're supposed to be excited?
 
Disappointing results, AMD needs to have one more iteration and improve the default HT speed. Wish someone had a benchmark or two with HT running at 2200-2400 mhz.
 
wait until the consumer parts gets available in 1-2 months time then all will be clear. But one thing is definite, it won't beat Q9xxx series for now at least. Still if it's a big leap forward compare to P-I then it's a good trend for AMD.
