CPU/Mobo Barcelona@3Ghz doing over 30.000 3dmark06s

[gaganjain]

John says the Quad-Core Opteron systems had already been submitted to the benchmark organizations for testing. The results are all under NDA and will only be released on launch date, September 10, 2007. Because they are under NDA, he cannot reveal the actual results, but he gave us some interesting indications of how the Barcelona will eventually fare against an equivalent Intel processor.

* 20-30% better performance overall
* 170% better performance in some benchmarks

Tech ARP - ED#52 : AMD Speaks On Barcelona & Phenom

When clocked at 3.0 GHz and equipped with two overclocked HD2900XT cards in CrossFire, Agena FX or single-core Barcelona smashed an index of 30,000 3DMarks 06. Yes, you’ve read it right - the barrier of 30,000 was passed to, barely, 30.031. We know that there are different systems floating around, and we have no doubt that leaks will start appearing after this article goes live. Knowing what was the overclock of Kentsfield processor, Intel Yorkfield has quite a big job to do. One thing is clear, though. Intel needs Nehalem, and it needs it badly.

AMD's 3GHz K10 to break 30,000 3DMark06

An overclocked Core 2 Extreme QuadX6850 @ 5.119 MHz (!) with 2 X2900XT wasn't able to beat the Barcelona: 27.039 3DMarks

These are the first benches that are out there. AMD is on the right track again, the performance looks very promising

Amd rock at last Go amd
this time to cheer amd fan
haha hyeah: :hap2: :clap:

If this report is true than some serious price drop will come so delay your plans to buy c2d

 

[The Sorcerer]

Amd all the way! And they are still using ddr2 even on the new platform

 

[Dark Star]

If this report is true than some serious price drop will come so delay your plans to buy c2d

Or should say C2Q's

 

[Vij]

When is this launching?

 

[zhopudey]

[Vij]

oops didnt see the mention...

Finally AMD is back

 

[bottle]

[Keane 16]

Huuurrrrrrraaaaaaayy !

 

[thebanik]

Man this is great news for both Intel and AMD fans....for AMD fans its time to rejoice because they have something to boast for after a long gap....for Intel Fans its price drop time.

 

[MAGNeT]

Or should say C2Q's

lol yup u can say that too....but i guess ill go with barcelona rather than c2q...

 

[Ero-Sannin]

hurraaayy............................................

my b'day on 11th sep and barcelona launches on 10th

yippie hope u all TE guys gift me one

 

[raj_pol]

I have spent the past one year in TE in exactly the same hope :rofl: :rofl:

Hey, sorry to burst your bubbles guys, its a 3DM05 score firstly, but it is a lot faster @ 3GHz, more like 4.5GHz C2D Running 3DM05.

hmmm looks nice ......

talked to a senior AMD official around 1 month back and he said to me that AMD is coming back with a bang and he was quite confident about it ....

Payback time...even more so...with interest....:hap2: This looks like its going to bash conroe/yorkfield in a bigger way than conroe did to the X2...

clock to clock 150% faster...wow...can it be as good as this...lets see...

 

[kippu]

i hope my not buying c2q pays off

 

[guru]

^^ if k10 benchmarks are true then expect a big price drop on C2Qs and C2 mobos as well

 

[Switch]

This is good news... Competition is always good for the end user in all the aspects... Let it price front or the performance front... The bar for performance goes higher and the bar for the price goes lower... End results cheap and faster rigs...

Hopefully the gfx war will also warm up sooner

 

[Shripad]

I hope for AMDs and our sake its true.

We all need AMD to be back with bang. Or Intel will go the Mafia way ( Sorry Intel fanboys but thats the truth )
