Mine does not run the MC benchmark, just the other two. Unsurprisingl, I get 2400

ALU: 3799
FPU: 4186
MT: 20782
Total: 14865

My Second run (3700MHz)
ALU: 6610
FPU: 7193
MT: 21582
Total: 16393

It only increases by 10% when my clock goes from 800 -> 3700 MHz?

Yeah, AMD sux0rs didn't you know that?

It seems like it was in ganged mode and only clocked up when you were stressing all four cores. I set mine to Ganged highest core in K10STAT so it will overclock all of them based on the single highest core.

Not so much AMD but quite possibly his mobo might be teh sux0rs if CnQ is not properly functioning and the reported cpu clockspeeds aren't actually the reality for all cores under the IHS:


Late last week AMD finally got back to me with an answer. The feature that caused the CnQ bug in the original Phenom processor was the processor?s ability to run each core at a different clock speed. A nasty combination of Windows? scheduler and the Phenom?s power management could result in cores, under load, running at 50% of their frequency. AMD fixed the problem by removing the feature; in the Phenom II all cores attempt to run at the same frequency.

When AMD put out its master BIOS code for all 7xx series reference motherboards, the Athlon II did not exist. The fix that was applied to the Phenom II would not be applied to any other Phenom II based derivatives, they would simply get treated as original Phenom processors with varying clock speeds between cores.

And that?s what?s going on. The Athlon II isn?t told to run both of its cores at the same frequency and thus you can have situations where performance is much lower than it should be.

AMD is aware of the issue and are currently working with motherboard vendors to properly enable BIOS support for the Athlon II. Until then, the best way to run and use the Athlon II is with CnQ disabled. Unlike the original Phenom, this bug should get fixed in the near future.

As a longtime AMD owner who recently upgraded from an E5200 to a PhII X4 805 (now at 3.4Ghz), I'd have to say that indeed, AMD sux0rs. At least when compared to Intel. My brand new Quad gets owned by Q6600s, and those are HOW old? Jeez. ASAP, I'm selling this crap and getting a Q9450 or so. No need for i7 yet, but this X4 is really disappointing.

I guess so Arkaign, have fun with that Q9450. You should've bought something better for the price of the 805, such as the 940.

Hmm. From Russian site Comrade. Shouldn't this be called "Chernobyl 2.0" ?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Will try this out on my C2D 1.4 GHz lappy.

i dont think this program even gets used anymore.

it was ditched in favor of WPrime.

Yeah, it's so hard to resist cracking a joke at a nuclear disaster that caused the deaths of countless innocent people who just minded their daily lives.

Piece of shit. Please, ban me. If scum like you roams this site as a mod I don't want to be associated with it.

If that's not an example of someone who's ridiculously uptight, I don't know what is.

There wasn't anything personal or denigrating towards any person in keys post. Yours however was a needless and biased response.

You strike me as the type of person who is actively looking for something to be said with which you can then take out of context and become an insulted offended victim over.

You picked the wrong mod to pull out the Crowley card on there Gates, good luck trying to defame his credibility.

I wonder if he ever played the stalker games, or if he boycotted them.
Anyway, Jandlecack, sorry if I offended you.

@ Idontcare: Thanks. Meant as a harmless joke. I saw "Nuclear" and the site was in Russian, first thing I thought of was Chernobyl. Didn't think anyone would jump off the edge of a cliff over it though. Thought wrong... ::shrugs::

Celeron M Conroe @ 1600mhz (single core)
2525

Phenom 9600 @ 1000mhz with TLB patch (quad core)
3723

Phenom 9600 @ 1000mhz with TLB patch (single core)
1360

E6600 @ 2880mhz (single core)
5240


What's interesting is the score per clock numbers for single core runs:
Celeron M: 1.58
Phenom X4: 1.36
E6600: 1.82
The phenom does the worst, probably due to the TLB patch. The patch disables some of the L3 caching so it's more like a quad core Sempron.

Grrrrr.. nuclearus cant even read my CPU correctly.
(personally i dont favor bench programs that dont know how to report proper CPU values.... )

This is why i said this program is outdated... and Wprime is favored.

I think this is why Ruby is beating me.... i should be higher.

Wanna go Wprime against me ruby? :p

uhh i think were gonna make all the AMD people sad with our scores also.. :X
