AMD Bulldozer 8-Core CPU Benchmark Numbers Leaked
A forum thread over at Chiphell.com is very interesting if you are looking for AMD Bulldozer (Zambezi-FX) processor performance numbers as yet another ES-Sample has been used for benchmarking. The forum makes it sound like the member just got the chip and started posting benchmark numbers the day that he got the processor. The member has screenshots posted up of the test system that make it look very real. They are using an AMD Bulldozer 8-core processors featuring a stock clock of 2.8Ghz that is overclocked at 3.2Ghz (8C/8T, 8MB L3 Cache). The rest of the system consists of 4GB DDR3 (1333mhz) Memory, Asus Sabertooth 990FX (AM3+) Motherboard, Win7 64-bit OS and an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro graphics card.
You can see all the benchmarks over there at Chiphell.com by following the hyperlink at the bottom of this news post. There are too many to list here!
Bulldozer is the codename AMD has given to one of the next-generation CPU cores after the K10 microarchitecture for the company’s M-SPACE design methodology, with the core specifically aimed at 10 watt to 125 watt TDP computing products. Bulldozer is a completely new design developed from the ground up. AMD claims dramatic performance-per-watt improvements in HPC applications with Bulldozer cores. Products implementing the Bulldozer core are planned for release during the second quarter of 2011. The Bulldozer cores will support most of the instruction sets currently implemented in Intel processors (including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, CLMUL, and AVX) as well as future instruction sets proposed by AMD (XOP and FMA4).
