Hm, very competitive scores! At the same frequencies ...

[GoThr3k]

Strange that memory seems so weak on phenom?

[RPGWiZaRD]

What's interesting is the "gaming" score. Any reason for this?

2*64bit mode may be selected in bios.

i think it's score better with 128 bits mode

[OBR]

It was 128-bit mode ... This is setting before test ...

OBR thanks for the results,but couldn't you get a cas4 DDR2 ram?Today ,you can even get cheap cas4 DDR2-800 1GB modules.

As for mem. tests ,Phenom should have better mem. scores than AthlonX2.Don't know if it is BIOS setting,but your scores seem a bit low.

[BeardyMan]

so its scores better then a C2D paired with a much more heavier GFX?

Pwned

Sweet, AMD can finally almost keep up with Intel's last generation offerings.

[Zucker2k]

Everybody knows Nvidia Vista drivers are crap. I'd also like to see same graphics card used for both tests at same resolutions, and same OS environment, 32bit or 64bit.

[informal]

Yep and intel's "new gen" products really pwn Conroe/kentsfield ,by a whole ~6% or so on average.

Well you see a higher score for phenom than for the c2d paired with a much more heavier GFX?

[madcho]

Yep it's a kentfield not a conroe

C2D=>C2Q

Since when is 3870 faster than 8800GTX and since when c2d has 4 cores ?

[ryanmartini]

I like it. The offering may not be on top of Intel, but it will offer alternatives of OEM computer companies and hopefully driving some competition into the market with the Phenom/790FX platform.

Also, first post

[knightwolf654]

looks like its gunna be sweet!
its a little faster then the Q6600. works for me

[OBR]

Before NDA ends i can tell this: At the same frequencies are Phenom X4 and Kensfield (Yorkfield is better anyway) very close, and performance is almost the same ... BUT, Phenoms cant to overclock so easily like Kensfield ... that a problem. My max stable Phenom is about 3GHz ... and Kensfield 3.6GHz and more ...

Well seeing how the Q6600 overclocks well over 1Ghz, then.....Phenom does suck. Not to mention Yorkfield.

Like a 400Mhz overclock compared to 1.4Ghz overclock. Yea. That could be problematic.

Is it crossfire or a single card?

In this case not the Phenom or the actual CPU architecture suck, but the manufacturing process and maximal transistors switch speed.

Don't know how score the hd3870 on pcmark vantage...But you're right I've missed that it was a traditionnal AMD biased comparison... Compare a cpu with the same price, and the same number of core that a quad to a duo...


But at least orb give us a clear information:"At the same frequencies are Phenom X4 and Kensfield (Yorkfield is better anyway) very close, and performance is almost the same"

[Pacha]

for people who do not overclock, yorkfield will be better, so AMD loses here
for people who do oc, yorkfield is better and even kentsfield.

rough times for AMD...

[CrashOv3r1De]

I dont really seeing a point in going for this chip since Q6600 can overclock 1ghz and will be out performing it. If you plan to run stock thats a different story though
