AMD64 Venice 3000 overclock comparisons??

[crazylegs]

So, i am about to overclock my CPU and expect to get up to about 2.5mhz without too much stress and trouble... (from the stock 1.8mhz)

But, what i would like to know is how this overclocked chip would compare to other non-overclocked chips...?!?

i.e. can u run a test on lets say SiSoft Sandra the CPU arithmetic test and apply this to real world speed?!?

You're trying to figure out which CPU would be equivalent, right? That's fairly easy since all AMD CPUs are exactly the same, with the exception of the L2 cache size. I would estimate that 2.5 Ghz on the Venice (512KB L2 Cache) would be equivalent to a 3700+ (2.4 Ghz, 1MB L2 Cache).

Actually 2.4 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache is an Athlon 4000+

Funny thing, if you use Everest and overclock your CPU to say around 2.6 GHz it'll read it as a 4100+ in the Overclock menu . . . Everest will also view a 3200+ say OC to 2.4 GHz as a 3800+, etc . . .

You can trust Sandra's Arithmetic Test. It states that a 3000+ Venice @ 2.7 Ghz is greater than an FX-55 @ 2.6 GHz. Well it's true . . .

thanx guys am thinking about doing a whole range of tests before and after.....!!!

will post once my work is complete

Venice@2700mhz wolud be par with Sandy 3700+@stock

Here is my Venice 3000+ @ 2.6Ghz.

Par w/ FX55

that's true and actually a Venice @ 2.8ghz would be slightly faster than the FX-57 at the same speed because the RAM and FSB are overclocked as well. regardless of cache.

The A64 3700+ (San Diego) is clocked at 2.2GHz stock with a 1MB L2 Cache. An A64 3000+ (Venice) at 2.7GHz is .5GHz faster than the 3700+, so I really don't think the 3700+ would be able to match the 3000+ overclocked to that level in performance. A 1MB L2 Cache won't make up for that much of a discrepency (sp.?) in clock speed.
