Today we already reported about the slow performance level of the first tested processors barcelona (stepping B1). However, the series processors, which will appear in the composition of servers in the next weeks, will be based on the newer stepping BA, which will raise speed by several percentages. Finally, in November- December will appear B2 stepping processors , which will take a step beyond the limit 2.0 GHz.
in the Japanese stores appeared the advanced system on base of two four core processors opteron 2347 (1.9 GHz).
If we study the CPUID value of this processor, then it does not coincide with CPUID values of stepping BA and B2.
This screen shot belongs to the B1 stepping processor .
Thus, we again can ascertain that the existing stepping models barcelona do not give complete idea about the speed of series processors. In superPI 1M test this system has the result 49,687 seconds. Related Products :
