TucksonSonny Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 AMD Barcelona Quad-core processors & 8-core desktop systems are here in 2007… SSE128 improves performance: -Matrix multiply performance improves by 85% -Other math intensive apps show 10%-50% gains (flight sims?)

VMFA-Blaze Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Interesting, how is it staking up against intel though?? And as you seem to mention what kind of an impact will it have, if any on the flight sim world... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
qrazi Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I have not seen any benchmarks yet, but I guess it will indeed improve performance compared to current AMD line-up. The performance compared to current Intel CPU's at the moment is only based on speculation, although I ofcourse hope the will perform better then current Core 2 Duo/Quad as well. Don't forget however that Barcelona will be released at max. 2.3GHz to start with, and Intel is likely to introduce Penryn even this year. Penryn is basically a 45nm version of Core 2 series, but latest news indicates also perfomance increase, by extra cache and others. Also the FSB is probably going up again, and also maximum clockspeeds will increase. I cannot wait to see Barcelona, but I'm afraid AMD will not rule the CPU perfomance field as much or long as in the Netburst era. MSI 870A-G54, AMD Phenom II X2 555 @Phenom II X4 B55 BE, 3.2 GHz quad-core, Asus EAH4870 DK/HTDI/512MD5, OCZ Gold Edition DDR3 1333MHz 4GB Kit Low-Voltage. Budget = Cheap = Good :D
Pilotasso Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Its all speculation. Intel has Penryn romours of their goin arround and they pretty much match all this. Dont expect these to come before 2008, nor will they yeld those perfomance figures. Im not wayting that long. .
