Some very early benchmarks Conroe 2.4ghz vs 2.7Ghz A64 AM2
 
cpu @ 225*12=2700mhz (multiplier cannot be changed in the bios)
AMD's Stock cooler , vcore=1.32v~1.36v varies
ram @ 333mhz 5-5-5-5-15 1T 1GB*2 dualchannel
mobo = nv C51G
OS=xpsp2 with patch + nv 8.252 drivers


pi_1m=39.8sec(conroe 2.4G=21.25sec)
pcmark05 cputest=5510(conroe 2.4G=6101)
3dmark03 cputest=1073(conroe 2.4G=1413)
3Dmark05 cputest=5582(conroe 2.4G=8320)
scienmark2.0=1454(conroe 2.4G=1310)
pi_fast=46.03/58.44(conroe 2.4G=32.55/40.41)

Not exciting performance whatsoever:(

AM2 won't offer large improvement over S939 so far;

Sidney 8th April 2006 15:33

I have never expected DDR2 latency will produce good result by looking at so many of our reviews.
My Venice @2.7G produces 30" SuperPI and 7600mb in Sandra; Opty 165 @2.6, 32" and ~7000mb.

definitive testing head to head in the holiday season :)

QUOTE:
"From what I gathered, it seems like Super Pi like a low latency cache/memory subsystem more than anything else, so you could probably argue that combining a small L2 X2 (512kB) with a rather high-latency piece of RAM is the worst case scenario for that software.

Then again, I guess we'll need more datapoints to come to anything definitive. (or at least some latency numbers for the AM2 sample so we can compare with current S939 X2s)"

that might be an explanation

Sidney 8th April 2006 17:28

Explanation we have had read, seen, experienced with A64 regarding latency in the past; doesn't change the result :)

GIBSON 8th April 2006 17:58

he did mention he had some problems with the mobo and he did say "funny results", and besides, it's obvious that something is wrong somewhere
quite normal that something is wrong too this early, if it wouldn't have any faults it'd be already in production

I doubt anyone thinks AM2 will not get completly owned by Conroe.

AM2 cpu's, atm, are nothing more than current S939 cpu's with a new memory controler (and probably some smal tweaks here and there).
So, new technology is being compared with 'older' technology, in fact, we are comparing a cpu with 4 times the amount of L2 cache, wich is an advantage, not ?

I thing there might be a performance gain by using lower latency DDR2-800, on both systems, question is tough, how much of a gain (prolly not enough for AMD, because the Intel system used only DDR2-533, Low latency btw)
