*The Official Tech-Forums Super Pi 1M Rankings*

Re: Tech Forums Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Ok, thanks for looking though. Will just live with being at the bottom of the list ;).

That's true, you can still have that hehe.

One thing I don't get, is Opteron the class and Phenom the exact model?
 
Re: Tech Forums Official SuperPi 1M Top List

Opteron and Phenom are two different names for AMD processors. Opteron is generally more for server type machines.

Why does cpuz I have an opteron and phenom?

Re: Tech Forums Official SuperPi 1M Top List

It's actually a common glitch, dunno what causes it. You have a Phenom x3 8400.

If I had to guess as to why it's like that I would assume it's because the Opteron 1384 was the original chip they killed a core on to make it an 8400...not entirely sure though.
 
Re: Tech Forums Official SuperPi 1M Top List

CPU-X gets it's info through the CPUID string. It's a Hex code in the cpu itself that says what it is, who makes it, and what it's default parameters are. It could be that cpu-z is misinterpreting the string or AMD used the same string for multiple cpus and cpu-z gets confused when it reads identical database entries.

Opteron's use the same die's as Phenom's.
Barcelona = Agena, and Deneb = Shanghai.
The difference is the socket; and some of the Opteron's have more Hypertransport lanes active to connect to other CPU's in multi-socket systems.
 
Re: Tech Forums Official SuperPi 1M Top List

That makes sense now, you would have thought they would change the cpuid string though, or is that in the die?
