Is a x2 4800 a good clocker under phase?

Just something I am interested in is to see how far anyone has been able to push these forward looking processors under phase cooling.

Post results or PM me linkies.

Cheers

had a bash while building a rig for a mate, only got it to 3 gig :(

& my 57 kicked its **** at everything I could throw at it.
 
They don't seem to like voltage all that much do really does depend on the chip. You'd prob be looking at around 3/3.1 from a 4800

no not really, if u have the money 4 the top speed binned core, then y not go for it, especially if ur benchin the value 4 money is the last thing you think about :D
 
An X2 for benching is stupid....... As it's never gonna get FX speeds.

ermmm... pcmark05, custom pc....... not every1 3d benches

Even this is not true, dual cores the future, a overclocked X2 4800 with avs cards would eat the top pcmark04 score under phase.

I think thats the point - dual core ownz single in most benchies except 3d (for now) - that is to say any bench that recognises and has optimisations to use dual core or dual CPU technology will beat the single core.

Thankfully (for me at least) that does not mean 3d benchies.

However i still think that in 3d benchies even a X2 4800 will be on par with the latest FX...
 
Been looking around for a while now, best overclock under phase is around 3.1Ghz - versus 3.76Ghz for the FX.

Sorry to say the 4800 is trounced by the FX in every 3d benchmark, purely because it dont clock so high (mainly due the voltage restrictions).

If it were the other way round, I'd have one by now :)

At the same speeds the X2 will beat the fx in 3dmark05, fx would prob beat the x2 in 01 and 03 due to memory controller. Once overclocked the FX would reign due to the higher obtainable clock speeds.
 
Nicks right, but the truth remains - at present the overclocking potential of the single core over the dual core means that it reigns supreme in 3d benchies.

All that will change during 2006 though - roll on the dually 5000+ the next CPU on my shopping list (2.6Ghz x13 multiplier = 3.5Ghz 270*13 with BH5 ;) ).

Although I would imagine that we really need 65nm to see this technology come into it's own.

Also we need a mem controller that allows 4x512MB @ 1t timings running 275Mhz @ cas2 - or we need 1GB sticks of ram that'll do 275Mhz 2-2-2-6
 
True, In 3d benchies t seems single core still owns duallys. But i dont think it'll last long, single cores need to ctach up with the speed of graphics cards first, it seems they can be a big bottleneck to high end graphics, especially overclocked.

EDIT ___

Go toi the hall of fame and look at the PCmark #1 and he has a X2 @ 3.4gig :)

Yes but that's under a cascade and FXs do about 3.8Ghz benchable under a similar cascade. Even so I see your point that X2s are better for pcmark but in 3dmark its FXs under cascades at the top.
 
Yep you are right been there for a month or so now.

But PCMark is not 3d (okay it has one 3d test) and if the best single core bottlenecks 3d GPU's imagine the pain the duallies are carrying with the lower clockspeeds and no multithread optimisations, hence why they do not appear in the 3dmark hall of fame.

True enough it's only a matter of time (see previous post on my shopping list) but now is not the time - 2006 = year of the dually revolution and year of the physics chip.
 
I heard a while back that Aquamark supports dual cores????? But I think they have gone from the scene as thier website has been down for 2 weeks now!
 
best i got out of my 4800 was 3.1 stable under mach 2 gt r507 , didnt push it any further as the temps were already reaching +3c (usually sat around 0c but would bounce up and down) max under 100% load 2 instances of sp2004. selling it now as i have no need for dual core dosent really offer any benefits to what i do on pc
