intel merom benchmark overlock review world record
Merom kills 3DMark 2001 - Far beyond 60,000 points!
We're having some
trouble finding words to describe Merom at the moment. During the last
few days we've reported about new records being set, but we were still
missing a few benchmarks. We suspected that Kyosen, which has done it
again, had some more results coming, this time of a completely new
caliber. That it would be this kind of blowout we had no idea, not even
our wildest imagination could've come up with something like this.
Using Dry ice Intel Merom T7400 was pushed a bit over 3400MHz and with
two water cooled X1900 cards Kyosen managed to achieve a completely
devastating result with 3DMark2001, 62398 points
intel merom 3d 2001 benchmark
intel merom 3d 2005 benchmark
Not only this but he also set a new 3DMark05 world record, although with only a 5 points margin.
intel merom aquamark benchmark
A new record with Aquamark has also been achieved
intel merom 3d mark 2006 benchmark
With 3DMark06 he accomlished a very respectful score of 12585, but still a few points short of a world record.
We are getting more and more curious of what Merom's bigger brother
Conroe will bring to the desktop market during the third quarter.
those result look pretty impresive
we also mentioned that Intel expects Merom to gain 20%
more performance compared to Core Duo; Conroe promises performance
increases of 40% over Pentium D 950 while decreasing power consumption
by the same amount; and Woodcrest is forecasted to achieve an 80% jump
in speed coupled with a 35% drop in power over today's dual-core Xeon
DP 2.8 GHz. "Merom is the best processor we have ever built," summed
up Pat Gelsinger, who runs Intel's digital enterprise group. Gelsinger
added that Merom will be the most power-efficient processor on the
market, and will give Intel a "very strong position" - strong enough,
in fact, that Intel no longer feels the need to develop an integrated
memory controller for Merom at this time.
Once you wipe away some of the superlatives and hyperboles, the
numbers produced by Intel have certainly impressed analysts and
journalists here. But new questions have arisen: Why is Intel just now able to claim such performance and power jumps? What changed, besides the company's attitude, between last fall and today?
According to the company, there are five key components that are responsible for the progress made with Merom:
The chip can process four instructions per clock cycle - one more than Core Duo.
The shared L2 cache comes with a "smart cache" feature that allows the processor to more efficiently access data stored there.
Data pre-fetch algorithms have been improved.
Further developments in power gating enables Intel to shut down
more components of the chip for longer periods of time, than with
today's designs.
Perhaps most importantly, Merom is able to combine two high-level
instructions and process them as a single unit, and multiple Streaming
SIMD Extensions (SSE) instructions that perform uniform operations on
multiple data streams simultaneously, can be processed in just one
clock cycle
More speed. Less power consumption. Intel promises a Formula 1
racecar than runs with the efficiency of a Mini Cooper. Is this
realistic, or is there a catch?
The simple answer: We don't know.
And here is why. First, when we look at all the announcements thus
far, it becomes clear that there is little besides promises to back up
the company's fresh wave of claims. Intel demonstrated that its new
platform is running on notebooks, desktops, and servers alike. But we
have yet to believe the company when it states that ICM architecture
will deliver what Intel promises. Second, all product demonstrations
compared a future product against processors that are available
today. Especially in the case of the Woodcrest / Opteron showdown, we
know that AMD is unlikely to stand still, and certainly will continue
to improve the performance of its processor line. Intel's aiming at a
moving target; in fairness, so now is AMD. But once the targets
finally line up with one another, their real differences in terms of
performance and power consumption therefore may not be as dramatic as
Intel portrayed here at IDF.
Speculation will be the principal ingredient of discussions around
Woodcrest, Conroe, and Merom (which will be introduced in exactly this
order) until we actually can get our hands on a production-ready
processor. Will it be faster and more power efficient than Athlon and
Opteron when introduced? Perhaps. But here's a thought: Maybe this
is the wrong question for us to be asking anyway. The real question
is, what does that mean for you, the user? From the limited
perspective we've been given this week, it certainly means that Intel
Core Microarchitecture catapults Intel into a much more promising
future than many had been envisioning. As a direct result, we are
likely to see a higher level of innovation in micro processors and
platforms, driven by a more competitive environment, at least in the
near term.
We continue to expect 2006 to become the most interesting year in
the microprocessor industry thus far. If Intel is able to follow
through with its promises made at IDF, we have no doubt that this year
will reinvigorate enthusiasm for the microprocessor, as well as bring
new opportunities for the industry behind it
