cpu-z says my stock amd64 3500 is a venice core running at only 2200ghz

[protonfusion]

what gives.... i though 3500+ were winchesters and they stock clocked at 2.6ghz or something. what gives... this venice core is only at 2200?

 

[gurusan]

cpu-z is right.
the venice 3500 is 2.2 ghz

The "3500" is only a comparison rating. Your 3500's performance is comparable to a 3500Mhz Pentium 4.

AMD's apparently can do more work on a clock cycle. Clock speed doesn't always give you a clear view on how fast a CPU is. For example, a 1GHz Via C3 processor can be slower than a Pentium 3 600Mhz processor.

Reread the title closely.

2600 GHz?

We know what you meant.

 

[reggie_da_man]

Did you build that computer yourself? If you did you should really research your parts a bit better before you make a horrible mistake.

 

[protonfusion]

well when i bought it from tiger direct it stated it was a winchester core

hehe, I just had to.....

anyway:
3000+ = 1.8GHZ
3200+ = 2.0GHZ
3500+ = 2.2GHZ
3700+ = 2.2GHZ, with double the L2 cache
3800+ = 2.4GHZ
4000+ = 2.4GHZ, with double the L2 cache

and for their dual core CPU's:
3800+ = 2.0GHZ
4200+ = 2.2GHZ
4400+ = 2.2GHZ, with double the L2 cache
4600+ = 2.4GHZ
4800+ = 2.4GHZ, with double the L2 cache

2200Ghz wow i think that beats IBM's 500ghz cpu.

 

[Baez]

it wasnt the cpu it was just the transistor that they could get up to 500ghz. if ibm ever came up with a 500ghz cpu and sold it, we'd have to plug our comps into a dryer or stove plug!

not to mention a healthy supply of liquid nitrogen
