Purported AMD Bulldozer Benchmarks Leaked by VR-Zone.com

DonanimHaber have run an AMD FX engineering sample through a battery of tests. The engineering sample is said to be a B1 stepping chip clocked at 3.2 GHz. The Turbo Core 2.0 can up the clock speed up to 3.6 GHz with all cores active, or a whopping 4.2 GHz with only 50% (i.e. 4 cores) active. Needless to say, these are likely not the final shipping clock speeds.


Benchmark: 3DMark11
Score: P6265

Benchmark: Fritz Chess
Score: 29.58, 14197 kn/sec

Benchmark: PCMark 7
Score: 3045

Benchmark: Cinebench R10
Score: 24434

Benchmark: X264
Score: 45.39 fps (P2), 136.29 (P1)

In addition, it took 19.5 seconds to complete SuperPi 1M, which is much slower than Intel competition. However, in real world benchmarks, the story is rather different. In X264 Pass 1 the Bulldozer sample (henceforth mentioned as simply "BD") results a whopping 136.29 fps. To put this in perspective, Intel's fastest CPUs can only manage ~100 fps. However, it is always Pass 2 that is the real test. BD completes with 45.39 fps. The typical speed for a Core i7 2600K is ~36 fps, while Intel's 12-thread goliaths complete in the ~47 fps range. BD is clearly far superior to the 8-thread Sandy Bridge, while nearly catching up to the Gulftown champions.

Even more impressive is the 3D Mark 11. While this score depends from platform to platform, when coupled with a GTX 580, the previous 3D Mark 11 champ Core i7 2600K struggles to achieve the P6000 mark, typically. BD easily sails by with P6265. In Fritz Chess, BD overpowers Core i7 2600K yet again, with a score of 14197 kn/sec. However, it falls short of Gulftown CPUs, which are typically in the 17000-18000 range. Finaly, in Cinebench R10, BD returns a score of 24434. With this score, it slots right in between Core i7 2600K and Core i7 990X.

The results are consistent, for the most part. In multi-threaded applications, BD significantly outperforms Core i7 2600K, and almost catches up with 6-core Gulftown. In less muti-threaded applications, like 3D Mark 11 or X264 Pass 1, thanks to an incredible 1 GHz Turbo Core, BD overtakes Gulftown CPUs. In all situations, BD ended up well ahead of Core i7 2600K. In every situation, BD was massively faster than Phenom II X6 1100T - more than 50% in many cases.

Of course, these benchmarks and comparisons should be taken with a grain of salt - especially it being an engineering sample. If previous rumours of stock clocks up to 3.8 GHz and a price tag of only $320 are true, AMD could have a real winner on their hands. Even with the engineering sample's clock of 3.2 GHz, a $320 is a bargain for a CPU of this power, wiping floors with the mighty and similarly priced Core i7 2600K. Having been delayed, FX-Series CPUs are now expected to release for desktops in the late August / early September timeline, with more information expected in the coming weeks.

nicenicenice..

murag labaw mn cgro ug 2K ang BD sa SB..?
sa CineBench ug 3DMark11...

It only makes me sad to know once Bulldozer comes out... Ivy Bridge comes out 2-3 months later... ;__;

wala ta kabalo, some note to consider though before ditching in to the hype, as per articles sa net ivy bridge will just be a glorified sandy bridge. Dunno if the 3D tri-gate transistor does offer something in the performance table.

[rejiel]

pila sad kaha mga price ani nila?

[dhekoy33]

pila sad kaha mga price ani nila?

bro processor alone budgeti lang ug 20k.

[simoko]

the Llano procie(A6-3650) are priced @ 5.7k sa Manila so kaning mga FX will probably be mga 15k upwards inig abot diri 'Pinas...

Tigum na daan ta para ani... hehehehe

Bulldozer only performs a little bit better than SB in the same transistor size (32nm I think) Ivy Bridge will be in 28nm process allowing more transistors per unit area and cooler chips (with faster clocks, which is why SB goes to 4.0ghz no problem) And the whole 3D Tri Gate transistor might really change things... ;__;

I'm an AMD user and I really want them to compete on the high-end market! If walay kompetensya ang Intel sa high-end nga segment of the market. They will surely squeeze out all the dollars possible from us ):
