Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 (rather low-end, AM2-only socket) with a Phenom 9600 BE (started with an Athlon 64 X2 4000+ EE). I wasn't looking for the Black Edition specifically; I asked for a 9600, got a 9600 BE for the same price.

Yeah, latest BIOS. I wrote Gigabyte on May 9th, still no answer.
Anyway, here's a better setup to compare my CPU to: http://global.phoronix-test-suite.co...18-16404-13644
2 x Intel Xeon CPU E5410 @ 2.32GHz (Total Cores: 8). Write cacheing enabled (whatever that means, but sure helps with the pbzip2 bench). It's also close to what the OP intended to buy.
I get similar results in the FLAC and gzip benchmarks (12.7s for me vs. 12.3s and 60s vs. 64s), while his OpenSSL results are still disappointing (240 for him with 8 cores vs. 162 for me with 4 cores). His pbzip2 results are much better than what I've seen with other Intel benchmarks so far though: 32s with 8 cores vs. 73s for me. That's a huge increase in performance compared to the same setup but without "Write cacheing": 74s. http://global.phoronix-test-suite.co...25-20598-18993
Overall it feels like his system is much better configured than other Intel systems on PTS. For one thing, FLAC should be substantially faster than LAME and Ogg Vorbis, which is the case with his system, but not with the others. I wonder what makes the difference?Last edited by apaige; 19 May 2008, 09:18 AM.

"Sigh, I'm tired of comparing apples to oranges. I'd like to see a Phenom 9750 against a Q6600 (at stock speed, which is 2.4GHz for both) and/or a Phenom 9850 against a Q9300 (both 2.5GHz)."
Q9300 is not to be compared, since it neither matches the price, and it is a very nerfed intel - Q9450 is 12mb cache, and costs around the same as 9850.

well.. it is in fact QUITE simple to overclock the intels, ALL i did was set fsb to 400, and i instantly get 2.66 -> 3.2ghz. The stock cooler can keep it within safety limits, as it requires not to raise voltage. also, a standard P35 motherboard can do this easily.

hmm.. those pbzip2 results are very low.. i just redid mine with pts 0.7:
and with 0.5:

As for the C2Q Q9300 being a "nerfed" processor (I assume that means crippled?), although I can't compare myself, hardware review sites have found its performance to be on par (sometimes slightly better) with the similarly clocked Q6700. Again, compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
Edit: Release prices are $266 for both the 95W Q6600 and the Q9300, $316 for the Q9450 and $235 for the Phenom 9850 BE.Last edited by apaige; 19 May 2008, 11:33 AM.

Well here is a Phenom 9850 universe test. Keep in mind that this particular 9850 is running on a AM2 board which does not support HT3. Unfortunately I won't be able to post the results for the same processor in a Asus M3N -HT Deluxe board (780a chipset) until it's finished doing some fluid dynamics analysis (eta to finish, next Saturday.)

Here is a Q6600 running at stock speed as well. With the exception of the mplayer compile (which the bug has been reported but is not fixed yet) It should give you some idea at what your looking at.

Originally posted by deanjo View PostShould be easily simulated by overclocking the 9850BE to 2.6Ghz. The HT link speed are identical on the 9850 and 9950. Just setting the multiplier to 13 instead of 12.5 would give the results you are looking for.
