More Bulldozer Benchmarks (Supposedly from AMD)

[amenx]

Where's the proof of that system running LinX for two weeks straight with no errors?

I'll bet you many noobs will go for it thinking they can also take it to 8ghz.

 

[Genx87]

dude, it's been long-established that both the x-axis and the y-axis goes to 11 for all things bulldozer.

And marshall amps!

Damn, you beat me to it

Techpowerup also posted these, so at least they are coming from a reliable source

uh, those clearly have donimhaber's watermark on them. so, no, they're not coming from a reliable source.


why does the 980x have more memory than the amd?

New Update:
AMD FX Zambezi coming out near the end of November

 

[soccerballtux]

that 3rd graphic is exactly why I recommend AMD to everybody

Source? They can't be serious?

 

[StinkyPinky]

Duke is not impressed at the delays.

One word - Phenom.

All signs point to Oct.

Eh? I was merely pointing out the "slide" was supposedly dated 31st August, while the world record overclocking event was less than 2 weeks later. Therefore somehow AMD could foresee that the AMD FX would (for sure) hit 8.4GHz and get place in the Guiness book? Also its strange that OBR had the entire full set of those "slides", and not Donanimhaber?

Speaking of strangeness, remember the list of Opteron 6200 series Gateway leaked on one of its rack server configuration page? Well, when I happened to re-check the configuration page the Opteron 6200 series are no longer there. Considering that Interlagos are being "shipped for revenue" (AFAIK most ending up at Cray), the server vendors are not listing them (for advance pre-orders)? Even the BLT page for Opteron 6200 states "Currently unavailable. Do not order." (complete turn-around) :hmm:

I doubt these Benchmarks as much as I doubt the God of Abraham.

 

[Vesku]

Hard to interpret that, BlueBlazer. I mean production issues are big enough that AMD is upset even though they only pay based on good dies. So regardless of actual performance and errata, they can't get good chips fast enough.

The world record overclocking was announced on september 13, but the sites all said it occured a couple weeks prior, so the august 31st date doesnt really prove anything.

One word - Phenom.

They like ironic names? Like calling the big bouncer "tiny"?

So "Bulldozer" could actually mean....?

 

[blackened23]

All of these slides have been verified to be fake, and especially that last one, lmao. I can't believe anyone takes this seriously

And I don't care about BD either way

 

[grimpr]

Looks there are new final steppings around the corner.

更新CPU代码，支持AM3+ B2-F / B2-G 步进CPU

http://www.biostar.cn/app/en-us/t-series/bios.php?S_ID=554

And x264 will get BD optimizations too...

Heh heh heh. If the results were that good they'd be trumpeting them to the skies. I hope they are that good - I can always use an upgrade, but it would be to another LGA 1155 processor.

Just noticed that from AMD's blog and on the very same day also (August 31st), but wouldn't the Guiness World Record certification come later (after the event)? :hmm:

Just as we saw earlier about the newer B2G steppings in another thread. Also on the x264 XOP optimizations......

I have access to a 2x16 core Bulldozer server, plus AMD is mailing us a physical system.

Yes, there will be XOP optimizations. Yes, they will help, at least a % or 2.

Seems he's going to be some of the first ones getting of those servers.

All signs point to Oct.

Extra >> tbreakTV's AMD interview and October it is! At least someone talked (in term of the month itself, unlike JFAMD).

why does the 980x have more memory than the amd?

It's cheap marketing trick - they took cheap dual channel for BD setup and since 980X uses triple channel they put most expensive triple channel kit they could find to score more "savings".

The only thing that is cheap is your senseless argument...:biggrin:

So they should have used let s say 2 x 4 GB on a BD and
3 X 2 GB in an Intel s high performance plateform..????...

But then , you would have said that the Intel part
is memory starved...

Yeah because we all know that 3x2 sets are over twice as expensive as 2x2 right?

You re missing the point.
The 1366 plateform is an expensive one even in its memory
requirements , so they are right.

As already said , using only two channels in the Intel plateform
would have been branded "technical trick" to reduce the perfs
of the competitor s plateform..
