First Nehalem Benchmarks :)

[GoriLLakoS]

Nehalem on Air : WR @ 3DMark Vantage CPU Score ,Performance Mode !

Setup is as follows :
Mobo : Asus P6T Deluxe
Ram : Transcend Axe Ram 1800+ (Dual Channel Mode )

1st Place : SF3D, CPU Score @23022Marks on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 at 5746,7GHz(14 x 410.5) with LN2.

2nd Place: hipro5, CPU Score @23016Marks on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 at 5649,9GHz(12.5 x 451.8) with LN2.

3rd Place : k|ngp|n, CPU Score @21942Marks on Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 at 5502,6GHz(12.5 x 440,2) with LN2.

This result 24397marks on Intel Core i7 Extreme 965 at 4032,6Ghz(27x150) with Intel Default Cooler .

I guess when SF3D, hipro5 and kingpin publish scores with nehalems, they will overpass 30K easily

good results for the stock cooler but why are comparing the QX9770 on LN2 and Corei7 on stock air, i think they shouldve tested both on LN2.

What's very interesting from your results:

1./ Insane L3 latency, and amazing memory latency GREAT
2./ Tripple channel is NOT FASTER than Dual channel ???

Maybe they don't have that pot thingy for the new socket yet so they can't use ln2

I reckon nehalem wasn't built for games but for things like file servers, virtualisation, encoding and decoding and the like.

That's exactly what they are claiming their market to be...

As I have said before, these do not seem to be targeted at enthusiasts at all, nor do they even claim they are. They are keeping the 775s and its not because they want to slowly weed them out when they are still releasing new chips.

For an interesting comparison:

P4EE vs. Nehalem, both at 3.2GHz.

L1 faster on P4EE
L2 much faster on Nehalem
L3 much faster on Nehalem, by a long shot.

Intel have really "fixed" the L3 issues with previous processors.

In order to see that Air cooled i7 is faster than LN2 Cooled Core 2 .

It is not that hard...you can simply use the same pot , but make different holes on the holddown and the backplate

Why is triple channel slower in everything except read?

Wouldn't it have to have a larger base though ?

Gorilla,

Could you kindly forward a request to your testing team?

I suspect that the new cache structure of i7 will hit the top of the table.

Thanks in advance

 

[GoriLLakoS]

I'll try but i think till Monday noon no one will play with this setup again

Soz, but you have to be patient till then.

I have already forwarded him your request.

Once i will have the final results, i'll post for sure

 

[lemonadesoda]

Now the NDA is released, dont forget to give us a link the published figures/results on PCWORLD .gr!

 

[newconroer]

I agree with solaris why does everyone jump on anyone with nehalem benchmarks, I mean what difference does it make if they are fake or real .... none and they just present a bad image of tpu and make it look like a community of jackass'

So do threads of false information.

Fortunatley this one isn't a complete farse.

I wanna see some 920/940 overclocks. we all know the 965 can do 4ghz..what about the cheap ones?
