AMD FX-8130P Processor Benchmarks Surface

Here is a tasty scoop of benchmark results purported to be those of the AMD FX-8130P, the next high-end processor from the green team. The FX-8130P was paired with Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 motherboard and 4 GB of dual-channel Kingston HyperX DDR3-2000 MHz memory running at DDR3-1866 MHz. A GeForce GTX 580 handled the graphics department. The chip was clocked at 3.20 GHz (16 x 200 MHz). Testing began with benchmarks that aren't very multi-core intensive, such as Super Pi 1M, where the chip clocked in at 19.5 seconds; AIDA64 Cache and Memory benchmark, where L1 cache seems to be extremely fast, while L2, L3, and memory performance is a slight improvement over the last generation of Phenom II processors.
Moving on to multi-threaded tests, Fritz Chess yielded a speed-up of over 29.5X over the set standard, with 14,197 kilonodes per second. x264 benchmark encoded first pass at roughly 136 fps, with roughly 45 fps in the second pass. The system scored 3045 points in PCMark7, and P6265 in 3DMark11 (performance preset). The results show that this chip will be highly competitive with Intel's LGA1155 Sandy Bridge quad-core chips, but as usual, we ask you to take the data with a pinch of salt.

PestilenceWhy do Amd fans always use the "Background Workload" excuse for more cores? Seriously? How many programs do you run at the same time because i know i only run one or two
Hey, I'm an AMD fan and I don't use this argument. Background workload must be code for torrents and streaming pr0n to the TV. :laugh:

I get those two things done quite easily with 4 cores. :laugh:

Crap DaddyThere's the i7-970 6 core 32nm for 580$. It is eating this leaked BD for breakfast not that anybody would need such a chip for gaming.
It is ?. i did not think BD was released yet. And intel can shove there 580$ chips were the sun don't shine.. it's a Frigging ripp off.

well of course, you have a faster CPU per-clock/per-core/per-watt/per-anything. If I were using Intel I'd do that with a quad, too. I value fapping, but I don't value it at $600+. :laugh:

Depends if you consider gimmicks rip offs

Quad-Channel, The Great and Honorable QPI returns, what else oh YEAH! PCI-Express 3.0!!

I feel like I am missing something else

Well, TPU is ranked in the interwebs 3x higher than [H](~TPU = 6000, [H] = 19500), and Tom's sold out long ago(~1250), so is now a business entity serving hardware vendors for marketing purposes.

Your choices for reputable sites is interesting.

can the thread crappers take their arguments elsewhere?

on topic:

at work I just did a super pi out of curiosity, e7500 wolfdale @ stock = 17.93 seconds for 1M.

so this is slower per clock than 775 on that paticular bench. 3dmark scroes aren't paticularly bad, but still not great.

I was really hoping for more market competition, but it doesn't seem like AMD has changed that at all.

[H]@RD5TUFFMeh, I really have to say it's sad to see amd can't compete, I wanted it to be faster.
You want an engineering sample to be faster? That sounds silly dont you think?

Anyways, this article disagrees with you. appropriately titled "AMD Outpaces Sandy Bridge in early tests". 3DMarks 11 and CineBench, x64 encoding AMD beats pulls ahead impressively. SuperPI, goes to Intel as usual.

DeerSteakDent1, he's saying things that are the opposite of what's been reported and makes no attempt to back it up. That's all. He can answer it with his opinion, but he's saying it's fact.
A lot of what he was saying was true though. Granted he didn't provide links for most of what he was saying, but who wants to be that guy that runs around the internet looking for evidence all day to appease geeks on a forum lol

No, BD wasn't released yet was talking about the leak and was responding to another post. When AMD will offer the performance of an i7-970 be sure they will ask for at least 500$.

I am not interested in stock performance numbers. I have to feel that the majority of TPU members overclock, like I do, so OC numbers are what matter.

With that in mind, I present my own SuperPI times, done with my 2600k @ 4.9 GHz(2133 MHz memory)

But who cares really? SuperPi is such an old benchmark does its results really merit anyone to care about the end results? Even when AMD was ontop almost a decade back their SuperPi results were poor, but nobody cared because it was better at most other things :)

Poor SuperPi doesnt equate to poor overall performance or value for money.

x87 is a dead race...x87 is much slower on Zambezi Prcoessers because it is emulated on the FMACs (Same way 256b AVX is I believe)
1x AVX(256bit)
1x x87(64/80bit)

It's for $320~ish the AMD Zambezi FX Processor for comparison to beating the i7 970-990X

Never
SuperPi is using the dead x87

Tell us your wPrime 32M and 1024M time/scores

AMD Zambezi isn't for x87 it's all out brute forcing SSE2 - SSE5(XOP, CVT16, FMA4 amd exclusive)

you know it's really bugging me that you calculated everything but 8M...like an uncompleted part of a quest in an rpg that you can't get back to.


and yeah my i7 @ 4.2 comes in just under 10 seconds, I was just curious if amd finally managed to catch up to 775 yet. Still no go.

Good work - the circle is complete. You linked to an article with the same source as the TPU article for which this very thread serves as the comments. And guess what, the results haven't changed. Memory throughput is still lower, which is the point of contention with seronx.

I do agree that I'm not interested in stock benchmarks. I disagree that SuperPi itself is important. It may be an indicator of more useful results - though often, it's not. But with regards to games, the GPU is always going to be the bottleneck - or at least, it should be. If it's not, you're not cranking up details/AA enough, or the frame rate is going to be RETARDEDLY FAST to the point of non-importance anyway. :D

Everybody ssssttttttooooooopppp!!!!!! I'm out of popcorn! Have 2 run to corner store. Wow this is getting good. But in the end we all win so bring it on amd and intel. Bd will be the best amd ever put out intel's tweaking 2011 2 mop the floor. With everything b 4 it so the rollercoaster ride continues everybody hold on keep your hands 2 yourself and enjoy the ride:roll:

Wait a minute! I smell treason! On all the screens leaked you cannot see the clocks for the BD! Only on Aida screen when we look carefully we see that it is clocked at 4.2 GHz. Well if all those benches were run at 4,2 then do a comparison with Sandy at 4.2. It's getting interesting.

Holy cats, you're right. AIDA is very clearly 4200MHz. I didn't even notice that before.

I'm aware that the link was posted on TPU. I'm bringing it to your attention again because everyone seems fixated on AMDs poor SuperPi results yet ignoring Sandybridges poor x64 encoding, Cinebench and 3D Marks 11 results. Huge Intel bias going on.
yogurt_21I was just curious if amd finally managed to catch up to 775 yet. Still no go.
So if Bulldozer is slower in than Core 2 in SuperPi but faster in everything else, this equates to AMD not catching up?
DeerSteakDent1, have you looked at my system specs? No pro-Intel bias in my wallet, that's for sure. I'm most interested in truth. Unsubstantiated claims to the contrary of actual benchmarks doesn't make for much truthiness.
Ive seen your system spec. Seems like somebody with an Intel Bias, maybe due to buyers remorse.

Unsubstantiated claims to the contrary of actual benchmarks (and I'm still discussing the claim that Zambezi's memory bandwidth is higher than Sandy Bridge, here, not SuperPi) doesn't make for much truthiness.

I just did a run of cinebench r10 while downloading 10 files large files at once (background workload) on my i5-2500k clocked at 4,2 and guess what? I beat the octalcore with a score of 24999!
