Next-gen Intel chip benchmarks out already

[fatty4ksu]

Sorry, but when a notebook processor is competigin neck and neck with the very best AMD has to offer (the x2) the dothan looks good.

a dothan against a X2?
come on man stop, you are making a fool of yourself

Thread is here.

ps. I hope that you don't think im a party pooper.

I know this isnt an exact science but rather than extrapolating 1.5ghz up to 2.0ghz, why not underclock the 2.0ghz to 1.5ghz, ie. downclock the X2 to match the Intel job's ghz.

Or am I speaking too much sense?

I agree, that would make sense.

It looks like clock for clock, the intel chip has better performance.

I don't know why I waste my time but...

In this benchmark, it looks like clock for clock, the intel chip has worst performance.


Notice, higher is better.


1º Simulated Yonah 2.0ghz: 521

BTW, optimistic score calculated if you ask me... taking as reference Yonah 1.5ghz score, I would say that 507-508 is more accurate for Yonah at 2.0ghz.
Never a CPU scales linearly... not to mention that 521 (from 383) is higher than a linear scale from 1.5ghz to 2.0ghz (We have: 1.5ghz, 383; so, 521 for 2.0ghz is a 36.03% higher score, when from 1.5ghz to 2.0ghz there is a 33,33% clock increase);


2º X2 3800+ 2.0ghz, 538


.

Dothan has a nice scale for overclocking, perhaps the same with this chip??

I think is funny that you are all sitting here bashing intel...AMD really had nothing until the K8 series and even at that the first gen k8's were not that awesome, what is to say that it is not intels turn to play, I mean the Dothan was a Very good step in the right direction. It seems that everyone thinks they screwed up netburst they are crap...Let us just wait and se how they make out!

who's bashing....k7 & the early k8's were fine. If anything yor not helping tensions.

They were fine, but they really were nothing special compared to the 800fsb northwoods.

Sossaman isn't really designed to be targeting the regular Opterons, a fairer test would be against something like the AMD Opteron 265 HE, or we can do the more sensible thing and wait till Sossaman arrives and then bench against the AMD equivalent. Sossaman targets the Xeon DP LV segment. It's isn't meant to be a very high performance processor. It's meant for low wattage with a 15W/30W versions or so.

Yeah, but Intel was really trailing in performance with the pre-northwood P4s. The first Willamette-core P4s were just embarrassing, especially when you were forced to use them up with matched pairs of RDRAM. The real low point was when the first 845 boards came out and for a while the mainstream P4 market was forced to use SDRAM while for the same amount of money you could get a Athlon XP w/ DDR support that in most cases outperformed the P4.

The Intel really didn't hit one out of the park until the Northwood was introduced along with the dual channel 865 and 875 motherboards. Even then the vicyory was short lived because they immediately shot themselves in the foot again with Prescott and the P-Ds when they could have likley have stayed competitive with a die-shrink of the Northwood design. With better themal properties than the Precott, a die-shrunk dual-core Northwood likely would have run a bit cooler than the current P-Ds, so they may have been able to launch the P-Ds with a high enough clock speed to be competitive with the X2s.
