Sandy bridge E bench marks

Thanks, but for both Zambezi and SB-E, I sure look forward to benchmarks that are actually useful, something that would indicate relative multi-core, full load, performance. Sports car speed just doesn't impress me if I need to plow a field or level ground for a building's construction.

lehmann, I'm not knocking your contribution, I'm just frustrated with all the 'fast' CPU comparisons and benchmarking that often has so little to do with real work.
 
I agree linden but im sure they are still under nda. im suprised they could show what they did
 
So we're getting Sandy Bridge E benchmarks but still waiting on Bulldozer. Gotta love it.

Im assuming those are legit as Tom's is fairly reputable. But it doesnt look like, from those benchmarks anyway, that SB-E is any better than a 2600K.

For folding purposes, it is going to have a tremendous advantage over the 2600K simply because the top models will have extra cores and extra cache. Of course just like the current Gulftown, people will have to judge for themselves whether the performance of the 6 cores are worth 3+ times the price of a regular 2600K. Also keep in mind that Stanford has already told us that the success of bigbeta means that bigadv will at some point end. That will make any processor including the 2600K obsolete at least for folding big stuff since bigbeta requires a minimum of 12 threads.
 
Dont forget how much bigadv loves memory bandwidth. these things will run 4 channels@ 2400mhz. The Xeon E5-2687W 8 core 20mb cache will be the monster. All 150 watts @3.1 ill guess 250 watts or so overclocked

the benchmarks tom's released aren't any better then the crap thats been released for bulldozer. they are completely meaningless benchmarks.. but then again this is tomshardware we are talking about and its all they really do. theres only 3 days left til the NDA expires for bulldozer anyways. then we'll get the real story.

the question is, will the extra bandwidth be worth the 7k dollar price tag per processor? even then 7k is probably a low ball price given the fact that the piece of junk 10 core processors on a limited run motherboard designed only for those processors went for a cool 4 grand for the slowest processor.

10 Core? i havent seen any mention of one. sirmonkey1985 did you take your medicatin today :D
 
Yes sir, there are 10 core's from intel. Patriot had the pleasure of folding on a 4P of those, 40 cores 80 threads, although the results were less than ideal.

they got murdered by Old tech Opterons.. now think how bad those 7K Xeons will look against a 64 core Interlagos system?....:eek:

I did the new 10 core intel e7-5xx series of and 4p folds better... 2.4ghz 80threads lower ppd than amd 48core @ 2.2

One of my 4p boxen is intel... e7-4870 its slower than your AMD 4p considerably... It's rather sad actually...
