My hopes for BD:
Launch desktop speed 3.7ghz + to 4.3ghz high end...frequencies before turbo.
Or maybe...
3.5ghz clock to 4.25ghz single thread Turbo and high end 4ghz clock 4.75ghz turbo single thread.
OC ability: 5ghz+ air cooling, decent voltage. before turbo, actually turbo disabled.
OC ability under extreme cooling with matured process: hopefully 10ghz barrier broken!!!!
If the chart I posted holds true at all and is the 8core cpu at stock clocks...AMD is going to freaking OWN! thats an 8core against intel's 6core assume HT enabled.
Thats 1750 points per core for 980x
2125 per core for BD
2325 per core for SB
given clocks are unknown...yeah thats something else
But that puts it line with all speculation up to this point, faster than nehalem per core, slower than SB per core and much faster than thuban.
Take away HT on intel in those graphs and probably lose another 10-20%....
AMD YOU FREAKIN OWN IF THIS GRAPH IS ANYWHERE NEAR REAL lol!
If AMD holds overclocking value high like they do with their current products....then enthusiasts are gonna have some fun!
1. This is a synthetic benchmark, therefore delta results will be somewhat higher than the delta in real applications, because real applications aren't developed as good as synthetic benchmarks. So you would get such deltas only if you have very good software which is almost never the case. Means if these Passmarks numbers are real the difference in actual applications/other benchmarks will be somewhat lower.
2. These are not official results and this source looks really very fishy (especially the hosting web site).
3. There are no conditions given regarding this Benchmark. However the numbers for the other CPUs are correct but nobody knows if they are correct for Bulldozer and which Bulldozer under what condition is meant. Sorry but any leak should at least state the specs of the CPU (e.g. clock, model number, cores).
4. Anyway regarding the architecture those results could be possible, but this would be the upper limit and that would indicate a really high clock, maybe it's +5 GHz (+4.5 GHz base + 0.5 GHz from TURBO). But as those results can't be trusted because of the fishy source it is not worth to speculate on that. Though it is possible that this number is correct for a 8 core BD without OC, this does not help us, because the range of results in this benchmark you could call reasonable is somewhat large, esp. as we have only educated guess on initial clock (4.5 GHz) but this could also vary.
5. Regarding clocks I will expect high end 4.5 GHz Bulldozer parts without overclocking and without turbo mode (assuming the process runs well, otherwise we will see those clocks after some time of ramping up the process). Despite that I do not believe that 10 GHz will be ever reached with overclocking and it is possible that it will clock very high but does not overclock well (which has reasons in semiconductor specifics). Since we do not know too much about the actual CPU we should not speculate on OC potential.
6. We have a leaked statement which can be trusted more and that was the source of this thread. We should take this 50% faster than Core i7 and Phenom II and ignore the other for now.
7. As I said before from the BD architecture we can certainly expect that Bulldozer 8C will at average (set of benchmarks) perform better than a 4C Sandy Bridge. By how much and how this splits into specific single benchmark results we will have to wait likely another 3-4 month.
But yeah I don't think we'll have delays there, but then it's not as if they could fix much in the last few months even if performance wasn't what they wanted
