    More Nehalem benches (Hexus.net)

    http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=15015&page=1 More pwnage I guess, nice mem bandwith. :cool: Gaming performance seems out of whack though, obviously there are some driver issues there.

    Q9300 review by Xbitlabs

    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2quad-q9300_2.html#sect0 Compared to the Q6600, it's about 7% faster. Unfortunately, the 7.5x multiplier limits its overclocking potential, and 3.5GHz is about as far as you can go before hitting a FSB wall. The low multiplier aside, it's not a...

    Wolfdale review by Xbitlabs

    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/intel-wolfdale.html Performance as expected has taken a step forward but what caught my eye was the exceptional power consumption! :eek: Not a bad overclocker either, the E8500 reached 4.37GHz on air, whilst the E8200 reached a more modest 3.88GHz...

    Phenom TLB patch performance (Tech Report)

    http://techreport.com/articles.x/13741/1 The article also looks into the 'retail vs ES' performance issue, with reviewer samples running at 2GHz NB speed instead of 1.8GHz in the shipping Phenoms. Whilst the difference in performance between retail and ES is only slight, it's a shame the same...

    Tech Report on the Phenom TLB issues

    http://www.techreport.com/discussions.x/13724 In summary, a BIOS fix will enable full stability on current shipping Phenoms, but with a 10% performance hit. Updated models without the TLB bug will be designated Phenom 9550 / 9650. Also, it appears that retail Phenoms are slightly slower...

    Crysis CPU performance: E6850 vs QX6850 vs QX9650 vs Phenom X4

    I also posted this over in the AMD forums as I believe it's relevant to both. Please, if you want to comment/troll :p on Phenom X4 performance, do it in the other thread. Here I want to focus on the points that are relevant to the Intel side. Notes - Penryn shows NO performance gains over...

    Crysis CPU performance: E6850 vs QX6850 vs QX9650 vs Phenom X4

    OK, good news first - Phenom overclocks to 3GHz on the B2 stepping - yay! :) Now to the bad news - Performance is poor, 5 - 10% slower than C2D/C2Q. :( http://news.expreview.com/2007-10-29/1193590532d6599.html Specs: C2D/C2Q using P35 mobo/ 8800GTX / WinXP / Forceware 169.01 Phenom X4 using...

    No [H] review for the 2400/2600 cards?

    What's the deal? Did [H] not get invited to the party? :o I like reading [H] reviews for a change because of their different testing methodology, focusing on actual gameplay rather than pure framerates.

    Barcelona @ 1.6GHz benched by Dailytech!

    Not too flash in Cinebench unfortunately... clock for clock it is slower than Core2 in this benchmark. http://www.dailytech.com/Quick+and+Dirty+AMD+K10+Cinebench/article7574.htm

    So uhh... where are the 65nm reviews?

    Anyone seen ANYTHING? Apart from a CPU-Z screenshot that is, with some guy from Chile claiming to post overclocking results soon... and 2 days later... still nothing. This must be the first ever 'launch' of a CPU that didn't coincide with matching reviews from hardware websites. What's going...

    So an A64 was never really faster at 'real world' gaming than P4?

    I'm not sure where this topic should be placed, the AMD or Intel forum, since it is related to both, but since most of the discussion regarding Conroe gaming performance has been in the Intel forum, I'll stick it here. This is not meant to be an inflammotory post, but rather an observation...
