Not to mention how many tests where only 20-40% faster when the next amd core is estimated at 30% faster per clock. Also unlike intel AMD is boosting clocks with each generation 5800k vs 8350 vs 6800k
    If you like heaters...
    Few years ago Intel was the one boosting clocks and we all know how it ended. High clock frequency does not necessarily mean high performance and definitely not efficiency.

      I am curious how amd's new architecture might handle things but since we're so heavy on double precision I'm not confident we would get good performance. Our software running on core i7 runs circles cpu wise around the pre bulldozer opterons (dual socket sandy-e easily outruns quad socket opteron, about 2x faster on cpu heavy loads).

      I noticed on other reviews how the 3930k still outruns this new haswell on heavily threaded loads.
      Well, that's basically got to do with how your science software is programmed, because you have to understand that SMT is basically a bet on whether the CPU has more idle time or more active time while processing and betting on the idle time, and that if it's idle that it can slot in this other thread without effecting the performance of the thread that was running as all it really amounts to is a time-sharing trick. Which while that's true for most workloads it's not true for all workloads, gaming and virtualization are your more typical examples.

      Also if you're having hard crashes like that you might want to rethink the platforms you're using to compute this on, even if it's just remoting the workload out to a server and having it report back.

        Anyway I also read that from the third generation the problem is not present with HT enabled. It would have been interesting to see in this benchmarks tests with HT enabled and disabled on a single thread applications.

          I look forward to Steamroller coming out in a few months, never mind Excavator which will make Intel's products look like they've crapped the bed in all benchmarks.

But keep in mind that the FX lines doesnt have integrated graphics, so you need to buy some graphic card to have something comparable. Plus, the Intel chip has a lot more OC'ing potential because it has a much saner TDP. In terms of graphics, you need to compare with an amd APU, and those are a lot slower for CPU usage (even the i5's beat them)

            Cheers!
            Excavator ends that concern. It is the future of APU design that Intel will get thumped on.

              I said the ssame thing about prior AMD products and had to eat shit later when it didnt happen. I've learned not to over estimate AMD. Barcelona and later Bulldozer were heavily hyped and neither met the expectations that were made.

                Why is the FX8350 mysteriously missing from some of the benchmarks?
                nevermind, I'm retarded.

                  Not sure about excavator, but yes, the focus is no longer CPU power, but thermal power. Most people have had powerful enough computers for a while. Now they want more portable, lighter, more silent, less bulky. That means boxed size PCs, Lappies, Tablets, even phones, heck. AMD had a great twist when buying AMD, in that sense. And they do have the upper hand, still. Not sure for how much longer. It still holds a lead (and it's still a much better value), but Intel is closing the gap.

                  Anyways, I do agree that the focus is the APU and lower power, rather than achieving gazillion MFlops at insane freqs with burning hot CPUs. Also, software is progressively parallelized, so we'll soon have chips with hundreds of cpu + gpu cores, each using a tiny amount of power, but collectively giving you a massive computational power.

                  There goes my crystal ball, my friends.

                    Usually desktops or servers. It's nice to have portables occasionally. Core i7 notebooks are pretty useless and worthless. That cpu should never see the inside of a laptop even in mobile form.

                    I typically "overstuff" the threads to make sure they stay pretty busy. There's always some small chance for something to go idle. And I haven't quantitatively seen anything more than a couple % difference when playing with 1.5x 2x and 3x on the overstuffing.

                      Yes heat is going up like a rocket! /sarcasm

                      the a10-5800k is 3.8 ghz base with a TDP of 100w the a10-6800k is going to be 4.1 ghz base with a TDP of 100W

                      So how is heat going up from boosting clocks?

                      Seriously the 8350 is only 125w the 4770k is 84 if you can make a GOOD argument about why 41 watts is a HUGE difference on a high end desktop please let me know. (And please don't say it'll save money)

                      With leaving a PC on 24/7 the cost difference due to the CPU power draw is 31.25 a year, let's see 150 / 31.25 = 4.8. Congratulations your over priced intel crap will pay for itself in 4.8 YEARS!
