Athlon64 3200...selling now! :) (Any Crunch data?)

[Engineer]

Any crunching data on this little boy!

Usually Ships In 2-4 weeks

It's preorder

Hey engineer why don't you buy a dozen and let the rest of us know how they do

I would say look at the encoding tests? After all gaming is not a good benchmark for DC but encoding runs @ 100%CPU....

I'm thinking that this will be close to the 3.2ghz P4 depending on the performance of the on-die memory controller?
Also,

lookat the leading opteron for perfomance benchies. i believe someone staed that a high end opteron gets close to 500K/cems/s in SOB while a 3.2 ghz p4 gets 700Kcems/s (higher is better)....

don't forget about the prescott...

and the P4 extrememe edition (while the 2 mb of L3 cache will make it a powerful cruncher one will be able to buy (2-3) P4 3.2 ghz for the same price 8|....which is the better deal

To give you an idea, my dual Opteron 240 does a .417 SETI WU in 3 minutes, 30 seconds with the 32-bit native Linux client, and 250 Kcem/s with SB 1.0. Both statistics are per CPU.

Keep in mind that the 240 is a 1.4 GHz CPU, the 3200 runs a fair bit faster.

 

[Overkiller]

Yup.

While it is a great chip in certain clients pure mhz...err ghz wins!

Either way competition is Great in the computer industry

I'm waiting to hear from AMD to find out when I'll get mine (I'll get one, just a matter of when). If I get it before anyone else does, I'll let you know exactly how well (or not) that it crunches.

Because this is a special order item, your account will be billed at the time you place your order


Sheesh, talk about bad business.... I'd stay away from this company.

On the other hand when you buy one let us know!

Well in gaming it won a 4.1Ghz P4 OCed on air and the P4 on LN2 I think and even OCed the temrature was 39C!!
It also uses 40Watts which is nice if you have a lot of computers .

3DMark
with Radeon 9800 Pro default : 20xxx points.
OCed processor (2,4GHz(air)) and graphic card: 245xx points.

EDIT: I think AMD will be on top for a while from now on. The Prescott has some heating probloms since it's using a whopping 103W.

Looks like it clock to 2.87Ghz Link.
Looking dasm good!

This is going to be a lot of fun to watch. AMD has a real bonified great chance of unseating Intel.

My personal experience over the years shows that while neither CPU actually fatally fails from excessive heat (if a CPU fan dies and goes into thermal runaway) , the Intels have seemed to stopped working faster and more frequent with a low heat dissipation condition. The above mentioning of the difference in power consumption of Intel 103 watts Vs AMD 40 watts would certainly show the reason why. It is far easier for the Intels to experience thermal runaway if HSF is not beefy enough.

With Memory Controller on board can't wait to see the SETI numbers from these Babies. Ought to be incredible.

W:QW SETI WU's under 4 minutes. That can't be right.
