AMD Engineering Sample, ZD338251W8K54_39/33/22_2/8

3.3GHz base clock/3.9GHz turbo, which would peg this as the lowest of the three FX-8 Vishera CPUs.

An FX-8300 @ 2.2GHz NB, with DDR3 1333MHz. The Aida64 bench shows what appears to be DDR3 2400 memory clocked to 2520 CL9 1.65V "easily."

The user stresses this is an early batch ES. However, this will almost certainly be the retail stepping and fab process will not have changed much, if at all, once retail parts are on sale.

mod e: keeping the custom thread title since the translated one makes absolutely no sense.

IPC is never static across the range of workloads, so those who used the Trinity results as a sign that 15% is a representation of average increases, should realize that was never going to be realistic. If the Cinebench R11.5 bench is correct, you're looking at an IPC increase shy of 10% (mid-high 9s) in CB.

Using an extremely crude estimate, based on the CB results, would see the FX-8 series look somewhat like this in CB Multithread.

FX 8300 score @ 3.3GHz = 5.73 -replaces- FX 8100 score @ 2.8GHz = 4.62

FX 8320 score @ 3.5GHz = 6.08 -replaces- FX 8120 score @ 3.1GHz = 5.04

FX 8350 score @ 4.0GHz = 6.95 -replaces- FX 8150 score @ 3.6GHz = 6.01

Those numbers are not in any way exact (including the Zambezi scores) and should only be seen as very rough estimates. Other similarly crude Vishera estimates, see the FX-8350 somewhere in the range of 7.22 or so in CB Multithread.

While different configurations and testing methods can not be directly compared, here are some CB results from different sites.

If your math is accurate... This puts PD about on par with SB. Nice job AMD.

Also please guys let's keep the thread clean and the discussion friendly and professional.

Thanks.

In this benchmark only right? BD will need more than a 10% gain overall to catch up with SB I would think, it's worse than the Bloomfield i7s in many cases.

 

[<({D34TH})>]

And that's just an engineering sample!

I'm looking forward on how does the 6-core Piledriver performs.

 

[Electroneng]

This looks like a decent performance gain over BD! Cannot wait to play with one of these!

if does put it on par with SB then that'll save me alot and i mean alot of money

 

[fivestring]

I'm proud of AMD. They may still be behind but price will be the deciding factor here. Plus OCing gthese thing will be awesome!

I'm tired of this 960T anyways lol

 

[funfortehfun]

Welcome back AMD.

 

[Atomfix]

This news brings a tear to my eye.......

Thank you lord that I skipped Bulldozer.

 

[TopicClocker]

I really hope AMD steps up their game and deliver some killer quad core chips, It's not all about the number of processing cores, C'mon AMD! Before I get an intel chip

 

[MountainDewMadOScar]

It begins

How is this on par with SB? It's still behind a PhenomII.

Just look at that the CB scores, and where the 2700K is.

Also, it's kinda funny that CB recognizes it as a 4C/8T CPU.



Is this better than Bulldozer? Absolutely, it was nearly impossible to get any worse.

How so? The Cinebench screenshot says otherwise. Look at the PD result of 5.73 compared to the 2700K result of 8.81. Doesn't seem to be on par to me, considering there's only a 180 Mhz difference between them.

 

[Electroneng]

Not up to Sandy but a nice performance boost for AMD!

I was wondering the same thing at stock my 2600k does much better in cinebench. GRANTED these are ES but we're less than 2 months from go time. My guess is that within 30 days production will start. There isn't a lot of time for major overhauls. I wont be staying up on release night to look at the benchmarks. I know what they're going to be.. Better than BD worse than SB.

Welcome back AMD?

 

[Lazloisdavrock]

Not up to Sandy just yet

 

[nicodemus]

my old 920 was a pretty sweet chip, so if PD can beat that PpW, even if only slightly, i'd be happy. will get one for the wife most likely.

That 2700k is no doubt overclocked, look at stock scores in the 2nd post.
