  1. [Tom's] AMD jumping on Andriod bandwagon.

    Well said IDC. My thinking is that at 28nm, Zacate/Ontario would be a formidable force in the Netbook/Tablet space. I'm sure AMD are working as fast as possible to release new Bobcat-based APUs on the smaller 28nm process. Hopefully TSMC would do better this time than they did with their...

  2. Bulldozers Weak/Strong points?

    If by slow you mean slower than the L3 cache in SB then maybe, but it won't be slower than the L3 in Phenom II. Did you mean 20% faster per clock performance for each core? Honestly I only see BD having between 5-15% higher IPC than PII, but it should offer greatly improved power efficiency...

  3. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    These clocks seem reasonable, although I believe BD's TurboCore will work on a per-Module basis. For example: - 4 Module Turbo @3.6GHz - 3 Module Turbo @3.8GHz - 2 Module Turbo @4.0GHz - 1 Module Turbo @4.2GHz

  4. Any Transistor count est. for BullDozer 8 core yet?

    He meant the PII X6 right? As the PII X4 is 258mm^2 in size, and the PII X6 is 346mm^2. An 8-core BD will probably fall in between this range, which is another reason to believe that AMD should easily be able to push the clock speeds of an 8-core BD over X6 clocks (+3.4GHz).

  5. Any Transistor count est. for BullDozer 8 core yet?

    Any estimates about the die size of BD? As some have commented before, it seems AMD improved the cache density at the 32nm process to where they basically match Intel. Keeping this in mind I did my own calculations and came up with this die size range for BD : 2-Module/4-Core (4MB L2/4MB L3...

  6. Any Transistor count est. for BullDozer 8 core yet?

    Well GlobalFoundries licensed T-RAM technology in 2009, and I think T-RAM could be a viable alternative to conventional SRAM, as long as there is no performance loss from using it. It's possible we might see T-RAM used in future AMD processors at the 22nm and smaller nodes, as the improvement...

  7. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    Actually we have enough info about BD to know that it wasn't designed to be an IPC demon. We also know that AMD simplified certain areas of the cores to save die space/power, and they increased the pipeline depth which could lower performance but allow higher clocks. If you check right now...

  8. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    That's a reasonable way to look at it, and it shows that in highly multi-threaded apps Bulldozer will shine. But for the average user most of the software currently in use runs on 1 to 4 cores, where IPC advantages of SB will keep it ahead. Unless BD is clocked noticeably higher (+4GHz).

  9. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    It's very likely that what you mentioned will be the case. BD is built to clock pretty high, and I believe a 4GHz 4-Module BD would easily overtake the i7-2600 and i7-980X at highly multi-threaded apps. But at least initially, I think the base clocks for BD would be lower than that, and would...

  10. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    People said the same thing about Quad cores two years ago :D

  11. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    Yes you are right. And I personally prefer it to be compared this way, especially Bulldozer vs. Sandybridge. But then we have to also look at other variables such as power draw and price. BD should bring in some impressive power efficiency, probably catching up to Intel in this regard.

  12. Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    If you check my speculation numbers from the other thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2134559 You'll see that I had a 4-Module BD @ 3.4GHz being 52% faster than an i7-950 @ 3GHz when running 8 threads. This number is nothing extraordinary as you have 8 real cores vs. 4...

  13. Llano and Bulldozer performance speculation thread

    As IntelUser2000 explained, Nehalem's IPC is not 40% higher than Phenom II. I think it's more accurate to say:Stars 1, Nehalem 1.2, SB 1.4. A better way to think of it is that the performance gain from running 2 threads on 1 module would be slightly less than when running 2 threads on two...

  14. GTX 580 : Unable to Watch Video

    He mentioned that the same thing happened with the second card he got. Maybe it's a power/current issue with the PSU damaging the cards? I had a similar issue in the past and formating and reinstalling everything solved it. Although in your case it might be just bad luck with the cards you got.

  15. Phenom 1090T slows down my HD6870

    You got 3x 2GB memory DIMMS, either get 1 more 2GB (8GB total) and install it or remove one of the DIMMS (4GB). I think you are running in single-chanel mode right now. Also OC the NB to at least 2.4 or 2.6GHz.

  16. Catalyst 10.12 performance review and comparison of three generations of AMD/Nvidia

    The 69xx series is a more radical change compared to the older Radeons released over the last few years. It seems obvious to me that at least in some cases Cayman cards are being held back by the drivers. I think in the next few months we'll see a nice jump in performance for the 6970 and 6950...

  17. AMD Radeons no.1 at crypto GPGPU throughput, new data for Dec 2010.

    AMD needs to pour more money on the software side and push the GPGPU capability of their hardware, especially now that Cayman has improved GPGPU performance compared the older Radeons.

  18. When is AMD 7000 series arriving

    Q4 2011 should be doable

  19. ~1 second pause in games

    Just guessing but there is a big chance it's the audio drivers. Check online if you can find the latest audio drivers, also open the audio settings in Wow, maybe change some stuff there and see what happens.

  20. Is Sandy Bridge REALLY worth the wait?

    I'd say wait for sure. I mean it's like less than a month away. You definitely want to buy a new platform that offers higher performance and better longevity. Especially if you build a system once every three years or more. Also while I love AMD systems, if all you are concerned about is...

  21. Should hardware sites benchmark all cards AMD and nVIDIA on High Quality mode?

    The problem is NV doesn't give you the choice of disabling optimizations, while ATI does, so how can you be sure you are testing fairly? There may always be some slight differences in some games, but the majority will look exactly the same on both NV and ATI hardware anyway. But I say just test...

  22. AMD 6900 reviews thread (UPDATED)

    I actually lowered my OC to 775MHz/1150MHz for everyday usage, so a 6970 would be around 35% faster, while being more future proof because of the 2GB video memory. I agree that buying a second 5850 for crossfire would be a better upgrade path, but I really never liked CF/SLI/Dual-GPU setups and...

  23. AMD 6900 reviews thread (UPDATED)

    The 6970/6950 offer great price/performance, awesome CF scaling, improved tessellation performance and 2GB RAM. You can't go wrong with either card, same thing with the GTX570. Although the new Caymans are more future proof because of the extra RAM. In some games the cards underperformed, I...

  24. Help me pick between a AMD 6850 or GTX460 1GB

    At the same price point I would get the 6850, as it is slightly faster than a stock GTX460. But maybe it's best to see which card performs better in the games you play, as you know some games prefer NV hardware, others ATI.

  25. Radeon HD 6970 is 10 - 20% faster than GTX 480....FUDZILLA says :AMD claims

    My guess is that the 6970 comes in between the GTX480 and GTX580 in performance, and costs around $400-$450 with 2GB VRAM. The 6950 would probably be slightly slower than the GTX570/480 and cost ~$300.

  26. I was going to wait for Sandy Bridge but...

    Better cooling would help for sure, though I think 3GHz might be too high for the NB, 2.6 to 2.8GHz should be perfect. On my machine I got my PII X4 965 to 3.8CPU/2.4NB using the stock cooler and on stock voltages. Didn't try to go higher than that. I'm ordering a better cooler soon and will...

  27. I was going to wait for Sandy Bridge but...

    You welcome bro. But I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. You see AMD CPUs have an HT frequency and a NB (memory controller) frequency, from the tests I've seen, overclocking the HT frequency doesn't improve performance, and actually might degrade it. Just run CPU-Z and...

  28. I was going to wait for Sandy Bridge but...

    Check Anand's findings at the link below: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3877/asrock-890fx-deluxe-full-review-and-an-investigation-of-thuban-performance-scaling/7 Notice how a stock Phenom II at 3.2GHz/2GHz NB is averaging 51 fps. Once it's OCed to 4GHz/3GHz NB, the fps jumps to 73, that's...

  29. Testing Nvidia vs. AMD Image Quality

    I think they should both be tested on the highest quality settings possible in the drivers. Then screen shots should be taken to compare which cards offer the best IQ. If I'm not mistaken, at the highest quality settings the latest AMD (6xxx series) cards actually have the upper hand. Honestly...

  30. Testing Nvidia vs. AMD Image Quality

    I always have the drivers set to "High Quality" Mipmap detail level and Catalyst A.I. disabled, never noticed any issues with image quality in games. Maybe review sites should use these settings and also force the same on NV drivers when testing, although I don't think there is a setting in NV...

  31. Anand Sandy Bridge performance preview is up

    Well I can try to give it a go in general terms, although there are many guys that are way more knowledgeable here that can explain in much more detail :) Think of Cache (all levels) as very high speed memory that boosts the access to instructions/data when the CPU requests them. If we look at...

  32. AMD demos Bulldozer at Investors conference

    Yeah but there are a few points to keep in mind here: 1. LGA1155 = Desktop (IGP) 2. LGA2011 = Servers (no IGP?) (Q4-2011?) 3. Initially (Q1/Q2-2011), only LGA1155 CPU's will be available. 4. My post about the SB+IGP handicap only concerns the desktop market. I don't care for the server...

  33. AMD demos Bulldozer at Investors conference

    Thanks for the post IDC. Honestly after reading his one-sided and slightly aggressive replies, I did not even feel like it would be worth it to reply to him, and your post sums up his thoughts and/or mistakes nicely.

  34. AMD demos Bulldozer at Investors conference

    I feel the same way too :) And I'd take a fast SSD over a faster CPU any day after experiencing the difference a good SSD can make. From what I know, at least initially, Intels next-gen "tock" CPUs will all have on-die graphics. Maybe Nemesis could pitch in as he probably knows more about...

  35. AMD demos Bulldozer at Investors conference

    Of course BD will have lots of improvements over Deneb/Thuban, but you have to remember the competition (Intel) already had some of these improvements for a year/few years already, so it's hard to get too excited about them (Examples: 32nm process, HKMG, Power gating, Turbo etc). Honestly I see...

  36. AMD demos Bulldozer at Investors conference

    If I'm not mistaken Deneb gained on average 5% more performance because of the larger L3. Though it still seems like AMD is behind Intel in terms of their caching/memory subsystem. A higher (3GHz) clocked NB/L3 alone would have added another ~5% extra performance to Deneb. I'm hoping after all...

  37. AMD demos Bulldozer at Investors conference

    Scali I see what you mean and you are right about Barcelona, the small/slow L3 cache didn't help much with performance. Although I think Bulldozer is different, while both may have the same 1/1 L2/L3 cache ratio, this only applies when "all" cores are being used. For example, lets say a program...

  38. Anandtech 6850 comparison is up

    6GHz memory won't be needed even for Cayman and actually the 43% more bandwidth would be overkill. I don't see Cayman being more than 30% faster than Barts in normal gaming situations, so in that case even memory running at 5.6GHz (179.2GB/s) would be fine, because that's already 33% more...

  39. Anandtech 6850 comparison is up

    So you can buy a 6850 for less than $190 and once OCed you get ~GTX470 performance. Sweet deal :)

  40. Nvidia's Future GTX 580 Graphics Card Gets Pictured (Rumours)

    Honestly I haven't seen a review directly comparing the GPGPU performance of both cards, with their gaming fps results. I'll try to look into that IDC :) I've rechecked Anand's review though and found a few interesting things: * ECC is gone from GF104 * GF104 has 25% less CUDA cores (384...
