3.6 Ghz CPU!!

[porsch1909]

has anybody seen the figures for the benchmarking of the new 3.6Ghz E (the 560 lol) on the new PCI E enabled Mobo. there is a substantial increase fromt he 3.4Ghz (the 540...i think) 875 mobo.

3dmark 03

3.4 Ghz = 10042
3.6 GHz = 10227


far cry

3.4 Ghz = 65fps
3.6Ghz = 72 Fps

SISOFT memory badnwidth

3.4 Ghz = 4.9 GB/s
3.6 Ghz = 4.7 GB/s

SISOFT DHRYSTONE

3.4 Ghz = 9189
3.6 Ghz = 9810

SOSOFT Whetstone FPU

3.4 Ghz = 3935
3.6 Ghz = 4279

ive not included all the benchmark i left out the ISSE2, encoding and decoding benchmarks if you wnat them just ask. but thats a pretty impressive performance increase...exluding the memory bandwidth.

the 3.6Ghz CPU is using the 925x chipset
the 3.4 Ghz CPU is using the 875 chipset

Does the price go up accordingly??

[porsch1909]

accordingly to what?? the speed....well it would make sense for a better CPU to cost more.

[dajogejr]

No kidding...
But...as you know, top of the line chips carry a way overpriced tag on 'em...

Usually...not worth it.

What I'm saying is...say, for example...is it worth paying 30% more for a chip that gives a 10% increase in performance?

[porsch1909]

yes but for some people cost doesnt matter. The hardcore computer geeks. who do it for interest dont care about cost.

[dajogejr]

Good point...

Guess when you have the fastest chip out for a month...that makes you king...



You are correct, though...1909...

[porsch1909]

1909???? that means what??

[MJCfromCT]

*cough cough*

look at your username...

[porsch1909]

oh aye that thing. that is just a number by the way everybody no relevence to anything and i wasnt born on the 19th of september or the year 1909. just a number

You might be a candidate for that fastest CPU...

[porsch1909]

i dont get it

[dajogejr]

I was messin with you...

Since you didn't catch the 1909 reference in my thread...I thought the fastest CPU would help.

Guess that joke went by the wayside...

Sorry...Porsch

[porsch1909]

far too subtle buddy lol. i thought that might be it but i thought it was just my twisted sense of humor lol.

So - since this is about a 2-10% increase in performance, can we expect a 2-10% increase in price? That would be OK, but I really doubt it's the case. It may require a different chipset too, running the price out of sight.

I have a $70 2500+ Barton OCed to 3200+. I'm fine with that. It's going to take a lot more than what the makers are currently offering to get my money - maybe a Hyperthreaded Athlon 64...

[porsch1909]

it does require a new chipset. the 925x is required for this CPU as apposed to the 875, i mentioned that did i not. you need a new chipset for athlon XP to Athlon 64 anyway do you not? i was really commenting on the fact that the 90nm pipeline is beggining to pay of now. i dont have any figures on heat emmision though i bet that will be higher too though.
