K10 Breaks 30,000 in 3DMark06
The Inquirer is claiming that they have some benchmark scores to disclose with AMD's K10. They say that it was running on the RD790 chipset, with two HD 2900 XT cards, and some Corsair's Dominator PC2-9136C5D. They clocked it at 3.0 GHz with the video cards clocked at 830 MHz for the GPU and 900MHz for the memory. They ended up with a score of 30,031 in 3DMark06 a new world record if true. They didn't point out what kind of cooling was used, but if it was just your standard heatsink. Expect even higher scores to be reached after their release.

This means that the K10 (Dual/Quad?) gained over 12,000 CPU points at 3.0Ghz.
While the QX6850 gains only 7,000 points when clocked at 5.3Ghz.
The Inq does it again.
1 it is a 3 ghz phenom hence quad but not official produce nor announce to ship
2 clock per clock the 3ghz phenom will be a lot faster than the current c2q but not the next gen
3 its a demo ... it really fast because it has to ..
4 i am the fanboy of the amd side i will laugh at intel a long long time
If they are, this only supports my gut feeling of waiting to build my next system. Either way I am hoping that this is true for everyone involved. This would indicate that AMD has been hiding "something wonderful"....hmmmm...sounds like a the average HAL1000 response....:)
No one will believe that 3.0Ghz K10 gets 12,000 and 5.1Ghz Conroe gets 7,000. This is a vague point. I'm comparing it to the 3DMark06 world record holder. Well, good way to throw out any credibility you still had.. :shadedshu
This news could be true, because The INQ does release real information from time to time.
While Im optimistic these numbers could prove true and the K10 will be extremely beautiful, Ill hedge my bets for now until something substantial is released.
