I'm not so sure Phritz is very Fenom Phriendly --- I'm bouncing all over the place. Maybe I shouldn't have run it off a thumb drive :p

Phenom 940BE

3.2GHz / 2200MHz NB
15.13 sec
7,262 kn/sec

3.4GHz / 1600MHz NB
16.02 sec
7,689 kn/sec

3.4GHz / 2200MHz NB
17.05 sec
8,192 kn/sec

3.4GHz / 2400MHz NB
16.12 sec
7,738 kn/sec


I up the cpu and drop the IMC/NB and get a nice bump.
Keep the cpu the same, up the IMC/NB and get a nice bump.
Keep the cpu the same, up the IMC/NB and fall way back.

Best Score:

3.6GHz / 2400MHz NB
17.42 sec
8,361 kn/sec
(Too lazy to run 2200MHz NB - would have had to reset CMOS)

At this speed my times varied by as much as .5/sec (down-LOL) and 500 kn/sec (ditto) over 4 runs.

DDR2 800 5-5-5-18 (I think) - 2T

MSI 790FX - sb600 - 80Gb IDE (Yippee!)

Are you crossing some funky clock-domain threshold deal like folks do with the NB Strap on LGA775 platforms in which the latency for the L3$ and/or dram takes a step back despite the bandwidth continuing to increase?

Win 7 x64

That's much closer to my score in my post above, my memory timings are 4x2GB @DDR2-800 and 5-5-5-18-2T. Everything is set to stock, FSB is 267, etc. Mobo is an Asus P5E-WS Pro.

Makes me even more curious what the special sauce is in oogabooga's rig, 5% more performance at same CPU clockspeed is something I don't want to be leaving on the table.

Some funky mojo it certainly be - LOL

I'm not really into the 'benchie' thing - I've never seen folks complaining about backing up in this fashion but you have a great point.

I ran 3.4GHz 2400MHz NB again and got 15.74/sec --- 7,554 kn/sec
One thing I did check this time:

Mem Usage: 265,860 K
VM Size: 263,768 K
Page Faults: 66,478

So I'd say I'm working almost entirely off my page file on that 80Gb IDE hard drive :D

edit: Okay ....

I mucked around with my memory mapping and went 16.73/sec --- 8,030 kn/sec at 3.4GHz 2400MHz NB again (with 75 fewer page faults than above).

I quit.

(mmmm .... but I wonder what my page file would do on an SSD drive? - and how much I'm really hitting it? )

oogabooga what are your dram timings and OS?

I have same, Q6600 @2.4GHz with 8GB DDR2 on WinXP Pro and my results are quite a bit lower (5%) than yours:

Relative Speed : 13.83
Kil Nodes per second : 6636

I'm curious what is different about our rigs as to make a 5% performance impact in this bench.
Click to expand...

Never mind, you must be using DDR2-1066.

This Fritz program really depends on the ram bandwidth I see.

At DDR2-533 I get 13.1 and 6288

At DDR2-667 I get 13.48 and 6468

At DDR2-800 I get 13.83 and 6636

That's graphs out to a linear line with R^2=0.9997.

This projects to around 6984 at DDR2-1066 (can't test with my ram, but it's right at what oogabooga is reporting.

Are you guys running the same motherboard? Back in the Pentium 4 and Athlon XP days, motherboard and chipset reviews seemed more common and indepth. I recall that the difference in synthetic benchmark performance can be several % between different motherboards on otherwise identical systems. These days I almost never encounter articles that try to figure out which is the fastest motherboard.

On the memory tab in cpu-z, in the Timings section, the first row is DRAM Frequency.

Multiply this number by 4 for DDR3, by 2 for DDR2.
Click to expand...

DRAM Frequency was like 720 and I have DDR3 so I think it is multiply by 2. I checked in the BIOS and two times is what it showed.
Otherwise it would be 2880 and this ram is rated 1600!

Once I was in the BIOS I tried some higher runs:

i7 920 @ 4.0 (200x20)
DDR3 1600 9-9-9-24-1T
rel speed - 30.39
knodes/s - 14,588

and:

i7 920 @ 4.2 (210x20)
DDR3 1678 9-9-9-24-1T
rel speed - 31.95
knodes/s - 15,336

I tried at 4.4 and 4.3 but it wouldn't enter Win7. This was the first time I had it over 4.0.

Yes that's the familiar turbo throttling!

No my memory is dialed back... the CPU is brand new...so i'm being gentle

I was able to hit 3.6 GHZ Undervolting @ 1.17VCore

I'm also running the ROG BIOS...and Turbo is disabled...

He's right! It does make a big difference :shocked:

I really don't know what I am doing, but someone ;) here says we should be able to do 4.0 Ghz at (I think it was) 1.1VCore. So after benching I went to 3.7 @ 1.16 (from 3.6 @ 1.20)

will run it on the 940BE and at higher clocks soon

EDIT: seems like this bench doesn't like AMD much

I finally got around to uploading the graph showing the correlation.

Fritz Chess Memory Bandwidth Scaling

The green points are experimental data, the red is what the linear fit extrapolates to for a DDR2-1066 value. I can't take my memory there to test it, crappy ADATA stuff that I'm just happy will run at stock.

e6600 OC @ 3.0Ghz, 2 x 1GB DDR2 1000 5-5-5-15

Relative speed: 9.00
Kilo Nodes/sec: 4320

Gee, I guess more cores trumps everything on this test.

A bit more explanation on the RAM speed: I bought DDR2 1000 RAM, but the BIOS says it runs at 800, because I set it the way I have due to this advice: "If you only want to push your e6600 to 3ghz, you wont be able to overclock your ram. The reason is that 3000mhz = 333mhz (fsb) x 9 (default multi). The highest divider available would be 266mhz ref frequency - 800mhz mem frequency = 2:3 divider = 333fsb/500mhz ram --> DDR2 ---> 1000mhz ram wich is the default timing for your ram." The motherboard is an Intel D975XBX2 (aka Intel Bad Axe 2).
