DigitalUKexcellent work corsair, i do want a 1095T but think i hold out until bulldozer,but why the 6600gt seems like buying a ferrari and putting caravan wheels on it.

After spending several hours of testing timings, sub timings, voltages, multiple processors and various frequencies, a new World Record for AMD Memory frequency was achieved! The maximum speed achieved was 2287.6 MHz at Cas 9. The two other processors were able to produce similar memory clocks at 2271.6 MHz. These results, across several processors, would suggest that it is running into a limitation of the memory controller on the new AMD Phenom II X6 processors.

Delta6326nice over clock

but is it just me or is that pi a little slow? i do mine in like 17sec. and i got slower stuff or am i looking at it wrong

Musselsintel was always faster in Pi than AMD.

it wasnt because AMD were slower chips, they were just slower at Pi for whatever reason.

Musselssuperpi is very good for comparing stock vs OC'd and so on, just not for comparing between CPU types.

btarunrSuperPi is a math test, just like Prime, Sin-Julia, and so on. Results can be used to compare across CPU types as well, like most CPU reviewers do.

Musselsyeah but if one architecture is superior at that test, its an unfair comaprison. Its fine as part of a range of tests, but should not be considered purely on its own.

btarunrNo, that's flawed logic. If one architecture is superior in a broad range of math tests, it's just superior at math performance.

Musselswell yes, but dont take it as OVERALL performance. dont assume intel is better for gaming, just because it whups AMD in calculating pi to over 9000 digits.

the question asked was 'why does that score look low?' the answer was cause its faster on intel.

btarunrI never referred to overall performance. My argument is limited to math performance. AMD processors are traditionally known to have weaker floating point units than Intel.

Musselsand i was never talking purely about FPU/math performance.

case closed.

Musselsit can be COMPARED, certainly. but its apples vs oranges.

anyway, staff bickering should be avoided on the forums :) lets get it back on topic.

cadavecaNorthbridge speed is almost MORE important than raw mhz. 9-12-9 sucks. I'd take 900mhz CAS6 first.


But, after reading this, I am very happy. Not every cpu can do this(but at least 3 others can), so they are really highlighting how useless this mem is for AM3...


Pretty bold to claim, to have found the IMC limitation...that sounds like a challenge, to me!

DigitalUKSuper pi is optimized for Intel and means very little kind of like 3dmark vantage and ati, its very good for testing memory stability tho.

arnoo1also it works with L2/L3 cache
correct me if i'm wrong
I heard that once
