Deneb @ 4Ghz w/ Stock

[CntdwnToExtn]

me

I'll be needing an upgrade sooner or later haha

+1 for me as well.


i'm in dire need of a cpu/mobo update. XD

 

[Apokalipse]

Cool! I'm so getting one!

who else is?

Me, irrespective of whether Nehalem ends up 10 times faster (it won't though).

But whats with AMD Processor's and bad timings on SuperPI...

I'd say it's most likely the compiler favouring the Intel CPU's.

*edit*
There are compilers that will compile the programs to check if a CPU has a "GenuineIntel" ID, and if so, will enable optimisations on the Intel CPU's
But if it they don't have the "GenuineIntel" ID, those optimisations won't be enabled, even if the CPU is capable of using them.

I'm not sure what compiler PCmark05 used, but there was a test on a Via system - which actually has an unlocked ID - where they used a "GenuineIntel" ID, an "AuthenticAMD" ID, and an unmodified ID.
What they found was that the Via CPU performed highest with the GenuineIntel ID, performed less with an AuthenticAMD ID, and lowest with its own ID.
Nothing else about the system was changed all; just the CPU ID.

Then superpi should be remade with no favoring....

If its legitimate that's a big improvement vs the 65nm Phenoms.

Although nehalem has already overclocked close to 4ghz and is considerably faster clock for clock so this may be to little to late to be of much help to AMD.

ya but the nehalem wont do 4.0ghz on stock that is for sure.

 

[Wildside]

idk, the Deneb was able to reach 4.0GHz on stock? Stock heatsink and fan and stock thermal grease?

very hard to believe if u think about it.

very hard to believe if u think about it.

Yea, and there is no CPU-Z validation for the 4Ghz overclock

 

[Apokalipse]

Yea, and there is no CPU-Z validation for the 4Ghz overclock

Which just means that it's uncomfirmed.

I wouldn't be surprised if they can get a screenshot at 4GHZ. I've seen screenies of 65nm K10 chips at around 3.7GHZ

 

[wafflehammer]

even if it can get to 4.0 on stock it doesn't matter :| nehalem will still probably be faster clock per clock anyway lol

 

[ricanflow]

So?


That means us AMD guys can move to high clocked quads.

Wow, even at 4ghz phenoms still get hated on.

Hey you actually posted it

Honestly, like I said on Xfire, I agree with you... I know this mostly goes to a certain somebody... but still.. I don't know if I want to upgrade to this or not.. I feel Two Cores is already overkill haha

Wait, you want this for folding don't ya
