I'm less than impressed. What else would you expect from a new generation, bleeding edge processor AND video card, on a two year old benchmark?

Only Nine ninety nine, ninety nine!

That may be true, but it just gives us a rough estimation of its power

No one is going to argue an amd flat out mhz to mhz performs better with its more instruction per clock cycle...The key will be ramping up of the speed and getting a windows 64bit OS to the market ASAP!!!!

Does anyone know if the a64 can be oc'd any??? If so how much.....

windows xp 64bit for amd 64 is a reality.

The A64/Opteron platform sure looks good to me. I can't wait to see how a real A64 does on an NF3 board.

This is irrelevant in the short term if, as it seems is the case, the 32bit operation is stella.

Oh, and in the same thread you can see the CPU being overclocked to 2.4Ghz with ease on air using a Zalman cooler!

Good point. This first example is running on a VIA chipset, and we all know how they run :disgust:

anyone else see the water/peltier? cooled video card they're using? I wonder how much that has to do with the 3dMark scores... :/

Umm...a good bit, but if you noticed, the Athlon 64 at 2.15Ghz was performing on part with their own P4 @ 3.6 or so, in 3dmark2001 with the overclock on the 9800 being used with the Athlon64 not as high.

Woot! (now need to decide who to give P4 2.6C@3.25GHZ board/cpu too)

You can give it to me.

My world revolves around gaming. Everything else done on a computer is a waste of time.

Athlon 64 seems like the winner the winner athlon was too. Way to go amd! I didn't know if they could pull it off or not, but considering these results were done on a MSI mobo and not exactly 'the absolute best' components, this should easily pull ahead of p4 and be competitive, if not better, than prescott.

WHOOOT!
