Anyone have a highly clocked 41xx on this board? Run passmark and post up your score

A 4.8GHz FX4100 would score around 5200, assuming linear scaling from 3.6 -> 4.2 -> 4.8


What is more telling imo is that a HD4000 scores 630 whereas a HD2500 only scores half of that. Radeon 7660 isnt on there yet, but I would expect around 1000 from it. The fastest llano scores same as HD4000.

This i3 is within spitting distance of a stock i5-2xxx. And I'm hoping the pentium g2120 scores at least 3600.

If only intel would just give us a 4Ghz I3. It would be an amazing processor for the money

....and unlocked I5 sales would nosedive, I think it is quite easy to see why intel haven't done this yet and are unlikly to any time soon.

More like NEVER. unless AMD comes up with anything competitive. Honestly, I am in the AMD support camp, but they haven't got a single competitive product except bobcat.:biggrin:

and I am a happy owner of bobcat.

A i3 k chip priced around $150 or so wouldn't hurt the quad core sales too much. It would be a e-peen chip for the most part and would be fun to play around with I'd think....Of course intitial results would need to be in the 6ghz or so range with reasonable voltage and temps before I'd plunk the $'s down for one.

If were gonna wish for intel to give us one can we all at least wish for a topless version please :)

So what? Intel would be losing sales...to itself, not exactly a bad situation. People who still want solid quad core performance would buy the i5s, while people who don't quite have the money for i5s would buy the i3s instead of purchasing unlocked AMD processors at the same price. It's a win/win situation for Intel.

I think you overestimate the OC crowd in terms of numbers.

Any unlocked CPU would have to be the highest i3 SKU. And then we are back to the economics game. The amount of people buying an i3 K would be relatively low.

Remember Intel already tried dabbling with an unlocked dualcore in asia. That didnt go well sales wise.

Games barely use quad cores anyway, if they had an I3 K processor I would have definitley gotten that over the 2500K. 2C/4T unlocked chip sounds like the sweet spot for gaming.

What a title for a thread...
I can play this game too,this time my example will humiliate new IB i3 :

Mobile Trinity 4600M beats up on Ivy bridge Core I3 3240 !!!

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+A10-4600M+APU
Lowly AMD mobile 2.3/3.2Ghz QC 4600M @ stock scored 5364 ( 3 samples so it's not a glitch)
New uber fast IB i3 3240 @ 3.4Ghz scored 4934

Mobile 2.3Ghz 4 thread AMD chip beats up on new desktop 3.4Ghz 4 thread i3 3240,is faster 8.7%.
Click to expand...

Imagine 5800K score then? Average clock of 4Ghz versus average clock for 4600M of 2.7Ghz and scores scale almost perfectly with clock speed. 5364x4Ghz/2.7Ghz=7946pts for 2 module 5800K @ stock. And that chip will be unlocked unlike the i3.
Projected price for i3 3240 when it launches is 138$ (according to cpu-world). AMD's new 5800K chip will replace top of the line Llano A8 3870K which is now priced at 135$.

But, yea, intel desktop cpu has been face sitting Amd for a while now. No reason that this won't continue.
