AMD To Crank Up Phenom II Clock-Speeds Upto 3.50 GHz, Planning New Models

[Steevo]

From awhile back, I can tweak more as I have pushed my GPU higher, and have ran at right below 4Ghz with a few more tenths, but I don;t want to continue to do so.

didn't we already go through this trick i proved you wrong in 3dmark cpu scores, wprime and something else?

Q9550 and the PX4 overclocked perform the same now when AMD goes through with this 3.5ghz core clock thing there wont be a C2Q that can keep up@ stock. on top of that they will give core i7 a run for its money. if priced right they will be the better buy.

I'll go clock for clock with you on some benches. Been wondering how they stack up outside of a review environment. (You know, real users, real results). Just name the cpu/ram speeds, and the benches.

The P4 was a overpriced, high voltage, ran hotter, under performer....FACT's
A P4 at 3.73GHz could not even match a Athlon at 2.8GHz FACT
A P4 over clocked at 4.1GHz could not even match a Athlon at 2.8GHz FACT
My m8s P4 @ 3.2GHz couldn't even match my 2.2GHz Athlon in anything FACT
I will always be talking down the P4 because they are the SUCK FACT, so many people had P4's and they had no idea about Athlon's let alone AMD in general, so all they thought was higher clock speeds meant they was faster FACT, the end. Intel new this and always kept the price high even tho they was getting beat badly against the Athlon's in raw performance.
Even the K7 vs the P4 was doing very well FACT, matching them in performance but having lower clock speeds, thats were AMD's number scheme came into play in the first place FACT. Then the K8 come out and Intel had nothing at all to counter it, the P4 had lost completely FACT.

As you can tell the P4 could not match a Athlon at all, even with a clock speed of over 4GHz a total of 1.3GHz higher clock speed they still couldn't match the Athlons FACT. So to reference to the Phenom i dont think you need to over clock the phenom 1.3GHz or more to match intels Q9XXX series? if im wrong please prove me wrong?
I think you need to get your FACT's straight before you say anything, my guess is that you owned a P4 and got burnt bad? and spent a F load on it and got beat by a CPU half its price?

That's not a 100% fact. The P4 would take it in encoding tasks. That's the other reason Intel was able to keep the prices high. P4's were in demand from professionals that needed them for rendering/encoding.

Yea you are probably right there, i should have said> in just about everything, 90% or something. Just to let ya know the CPU i was talking about was my old 3700+ sandy core, so it wouldn't of been not far off his 3.2GHz P4 id say? id have to look it up to confirm it. (encoding/rendering)

There are and always will be areas that intel (P4) do very well in, but overall i was getting at, that they was getting beat bad.

The K7 vs P4 was very close, even the AMD 3000/3200 K7 didn't realy match the 3.0/3.2GHz P4s but was very close tho, then the A64 came out and it was game over.

O and thanks to cdawall, Valdez, and wahdangun for the thanks on my last post

Oh yeah, I agree. The encoding performance wasn't worth taking the hit just about everywhere else for the average user. The A64 was overall a much better processor.

i'll run a couple really quick. 3.9ghz is something almost every phenom II can do so it should be a fair speed you can name the DRAM speed mine can run all the way up to 1266 6-5-6-16

3D06, AQ3, vantage, wprime, spi 1/32m should be good to start with


my everyday setting is 236*16.5 puts the cpu@3.894ghz and ram@1260mhz 6-5-6-16

i had a PD930 for this exact reason in encoding an AX2 could not match it in any means of the word. Even oc'd the PD could easily hold its own in this task.

Just my 2 penneth, it's you guys that are doing the testing, but I would sack AQ3, damn it's even more synthetic than a whore's PVC underwear however......

PC Mark vantage would be a good one if you both have Vista.............

http://www.futuremark.com/download/pcmarkvantage/

And if you dont........ PC Mark 2005

http://www.futuremark.com/download/pcmark05/

If your memory are going to be same speed and latencies then SM2 would be good also.

Sorry for butting in!

Anything that includes gfx in the test probably isn't a great Idea, unless the app breaks the scores down to individual segments. Not to mention I run a RAID0, so that will effect the PCMark scores as well.

Damn Wile E I guess you can't sleep ether.

I have a few linux distros on the way down, so remind me in a day or 2. Can't reboot right now. As far as ram, I can run it all the way to 1360 CAS 5, so whatever you pick is fine with me. But I can offer some friendly advice, and tell you that running 1260Mhz at CAS6 is not better than running at 1050 CAS5.

Never really do. lol

Never really do. lol

it was for benchmarks that i ran cause i pushed the other bus speeds higher and this chip loves bandwidth out the ass

oh and ram does 1150 cas5 so its not that bad. will have 4GB of D9g** shortly so i can run those to

lostcircuits didnt get lost just look at this nice scaling

add around 5-7% faster due to 2ghz HT/L2 + DDR3 and your abit faster
