In this news we decided to combine the related news, published by associate. If earlier we could only observe systems on base of processor phenom FX, which works at 3.0 GHz frequency , then now along the unofficial channels it was possible to test such systems.
Here is the configuration of test system :
- Four core processor AMD new generation (Phenom FX or Barcelona);
- Motherboard on base of chipset RD790 standard design;
- Two video card radeon HD 2900 XT with 512 mb GDDR- 3 memory ;
- Memory corsair dominator PC 2-9136C5D with total volume 4 Gb ( accessible volume only 3,24 Gb);
- Hard disk WD series raptor (10 000 rp/min);
- Operating system Windows vista ultimate (32-bit version);
- Drivers catalyst 7.7.
With the processor frequency 2.5 GHz , it was possible to obtain the result 23 768 points in 3DMark'06. After processor overclock to 3.0 GHz testers already reached the result 30 031 points in 3DMark'06. Video card in this case were overclocked to 830/1800 MHz. Let us recall that the maximally overclocked system on base the four core processor kentsfield with 5119 MHz frequency collects only 27 039 points in 3DMark'06, video card in this case operate at frequencies 1175/1900 MHz. In other words, phenom FX processor already has more than 10% frequency advantage with the aid of air cooling.
Associate publishes the screen shot of the engineering model phenom X4 stepping B0, working at 1.8 GHz frequency . Let us recall that the series production of these processors must pass on B2 (BA) stepping .
AMD representative in interview reported that processors generation phenom without problems can reach sufficiently high frequencies.
Speaking about benchmark of barcelona processors , AMD representative used comparison with certain equivalent intel processors . As result, it came out that barcelona processors is 20-30% faster on average, and up to 170% faster in some benchmarks. In comparison with their 90 nm dual core predecessors, 65 nm processors opteron with four core on one crystal can propose up to 45-85% higher speed operation with the same energy consumption level . According to AMD representative , four core processor intel ensure increase in speed by 30 - 35% on average in comparison with their dual cores with fellows, in this case possessing up to 23-35% higher energy consumption.
