Today's integrated graphics--even the ones from Intel--will leave that card in the dust. That said, if it's for an older platform and you're just trying to get accelerated GUI and video decoding, it'll do in a pinch.

Here's a 4.8GHz suicide run on my main machine. I really, really don't like running this thing so close to 1.4v, but I figure 15 minutes for a round of 3DMark01 won't hurt. It's now back to its "normal" 4.5GHz/1.24v. :happy: 95K on Win7 isn't too bad, methinks. Probably would need an overclocked …

I just pulled the trigger. Ordered an R7-1700, Asus Prime X370 board, GTX-1070, and 16GB (for now) of DDR4-3200. I plan to overclock the snot out of the CPU. :happy: I haven't used AMD as a main computer since the Opteron 185 for s939, so this will be interesting. I do a ton of video work, and I …

The conclusion one can make from these two benchmarks is that memory access is the bottleneck. In this use case the 105 MHz bus with CL3 SDRAM is insufficient for CPU speeds over 1 GHz. I had one other benchmark where I put in CL2 memory: it added 180 3Dmark points. The benchmark that Meljar quoted …

The difference between the Celeron-Tualatin and the "-S" Tualatin is: - higher FSB clock - Data prefech - cache latency And the -S Tualatin has twice the cache, which helps big time with some games. Newer games tend to receive the biggest boost. For example, in Doom 3 Timedemo1 my Celeron-1400 on a …

The Tualatin Celeron is nothing like the P3-S. I have both; a Celeron-1400 and a P3-S @ 1575. In a few newer games the PIII ends up being over twice as fast as the Celeron. The only truly decent Celeron was the Mendocino. The Willamette Celeron is also terribad. For a 2002 machine, you should either …

Dredged up from the massive pit of benchmark results on my file server, here's a crappy Geforce GT635 with a Core i7 3770 (3.4GHz/3.9Turbo). The CPU score's a little on the low side (even less than the 4GHz Phenom II I posted above), but that's probably because I was running it on the Win10 …

Well, the gaming performance is kinda disappointing. I think my 4.5GHz 4930K (Ivy-E with quad DDR3-2400) might actually beat this thing in games. The single-threaded performance drop with SMT enabled is also a little concerning. It's a beast at video encoding, right up there with the 8c/16t 6900K. …

Here's a Phenom X6 1090T @ 4069MHz. I'm sure it would score ~75K under XP. K10 is much faster than K8. My K8-based Opteron 185 @ 3133 MHz can only score 28983 under Win7.

Netburst just can't perform. :blah: Here's a Pentium D 935 overclocked to 4GHz. Much less than even half of the 4GHz Q6700's score. 3DMark01 was never SSE2 optimized and certainly hated CPUs with long pipelines, and Presler had an embarrassingly long 31 stage pipeline. Here's how it compares …

It certainly looks like AMD's going to make one hell of a comeback. Seriously, Lisa Su is the bee's knees! I haven't been this excited about a CPU launch since...Pentium II?

74k seems about right, won't you agree ? That's actually fairly amazeballs for a PEE (lol...pee). Both the score and the 5.1GHz. I paired up my GTX970 with a Phenom X6 1090T at 4069MHz. Score was a bit lower than I expected. I didn't think a Ph2 @ 4GHz would bottleneck a 970 that much in 3D'03. …
