CPU/Mobo AMD Bulldozer Discussion Thread

The thing about saturating one module before moving onto another or diving the load among all moduless comes down to the ide in which the software was designed and the OS. Now Windows 7 is multi-core optimised and is therefore better at dealing with multi threaded applications. Earlier OSs had a reduction in efficiency as the number of cores increased. If not optimised then modules will saturate one by one. This is not a bad thing too as Turbo boost will automatically kick in if only one module is active.
 
:( just saw the leaked Benchmark sample, if this is true.... then ' :( '

It performs below i7 @ 2.80, But in the screen shot it just shows 1 cores, CORE = 1 .

I AM totally confused as wats happening here !!!
 
Check out the new benchmarks... top class performance by BD

The eight core FX processor was the first to wPrime Benchmark v2.04, which primes can quickly calculate the workload across multiple threads. This test was 32M institution in a matter of 5.866 seconds, where the Core i7 and Core i7 980X 2600K at their default clock rates at 7.222 and 5.287 seconds respectively, the calculations were performed.

Another benchmark that also knows full advantage of all eight cores to the FX processor is rich Cinebench 11.5. This test retrieves the rendering processor AMD a score of 7.86 points, where the Core i7 6.89 points 2600K standard outlet. The Core i7 980X with 8.84 points more quickly than the AMD FX processor with eight cores. In the older Cinebench 10 test, took the eight core processor from AMD Bulldozer 27678 points, a fraction more than the six-member Core i7 980X according to our database gets 27,362 points.

^^ is it exciting? NO

Why?

Because Bulldozer Turbo is supposed to go to 4.4GHz(or was it 4.2GHz). Compared the turbo speed, this overclock is like skim milk.
 
Ya well AMD is like milk thats been left out since the A64 era .... stinky , old and no matter what it costs its too much :p

!!!PEACE!!!

Nope, fake, fake, fake.

I just hope Intel's 8 core manages to compare to Intel's 6 core. Otherwise, it would be a shame.

I'm pretty sure INTEL's 8-core will beat INTEL's 6 core!

Seriously though, AMD needs to do something otherwise it's going to go down the VIA road, and the next cpu battle we'll be seeing is between Intel and ARM.

I think you meant AMD's 8core Bulldozer Processor... And do you have any proof to prove that the new benchmark of bulldozer is fake? I know its unclear that whether the user who got a ES was of a new stepping or not... But we really can't say that whether its fake or real... But i would say that take that benchmark with a grain of salt...
 
AMD Bulldozer FX-8130P Engineering Sample Overclocked to 5.1GHz

Source: AMD Bulldozer FX-8130P Engineering Sample Overclocked to 5.1GHz - Softpedia

AMD's upcoming flagship Bulldozer desktop processor, the FX-8130P, seems to be a great overclocker as a recently released video shows the chip managing to achieve 5.1GHz using just air cooling with all eight cores active.

The CPU used for reaching this frequency is an engineering sample FX-8130P processor with a core voltage of 1.6V, according to CPU-Z, installed on an Asus Crosshair V Formula motherboard.

The overclock was stable enough to run the Super Pi benchmark, but for CineBench R11.5, the CPU clock speed had to be reduced to 4.83GHz, this time using a lower core voltage.

From what we know at this point in time, the FX-8130P is supposed to be AMD's fastest desktop Bulldozer CPU as it features eight processing core that are run at a base frequency of 3.8GHz.

Based on the load placed on its cores, the chip can increase its frequency up to 4.2GHz thanks to AMD's Turbo Core 2.0 technology.

In addition to the four Bulldozer modules, the FX-8130P also includes 8MB of Level 2 cache memory and 8MB of L3 cache as well as an integrated dual-channel memory controller that supports DDR3-1866 modules.

At this year's Computex fair, AMD has officially announced that the first Zambezi FX processors, based on the Bulldozer architecture, aren't expected to arrive until later this summer (August or September).

Before the news was made official, various reports suggested that AMD is having trouble with the performance of its Bulldozer architecture, as the first chip revisions functioned at lower than expected frequencies.

In order to fix these speed issues, AMD reportedly plans to build a new Bulldozer stepping, called B2, which should make the chips competitive with Intel's offerings.

The delay won't affect the Opteron 6200 processors based on the Interlagos architecture, which were demoed recently by AMD and pair together two CPU dies in the same packaging to form 12-core and 16-core Bulldozer CPUs for the server market.

A proof video of the 5.1GHz overclock is included right bellow. The author censored some of the information reported by the BIOS and the other tools used, so he, or she, won't breach AMD's NDA (OBRovsky Blog via Expreview).
