8 Core Bulldozer @ 4.63ghz

Unless thats some multi-threading build of Super Pi (title bar suggests its not) I have my doubts (not even sure if its possible to thread it with any real efficency anyhow).

Super PI - 1______._______29s

Right....

Looks like the digits immediately either side of the decimal point have been erased (like many things in CPU-Z) to hide performance figures. So it could be just over 10 seconds or it could be just under 20 seconds. It had better be 10 if Bulldozer is even going to be competitive with Sandy Bridge in single-threaded applications, let alone Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge-E, because a Sandy Bridge CPU at 4.6 GHz will do a 1M Super Pi run in about 8-9 seconds!

Either way, 1.5 V sounds high for 4.6 GHz, considering early Sandy Bridge overclocks showed 5-5.2 GHz at these kinds of voltages (that no sane person would use for a 24/7 overclock anyway). I suppose Intel's 32 nm voltages may not be applicable as a comparison though.

Voltages are not comparable between different designs, right now we have no idea if 1.5V is high or low for bulldozer.

i know you cant compare the voltages of intel and amd :S

people were running 1055t's overclocked at 1.475v core , some mobos were even defaulting to high vcores even at stock aswell
 
Sure, that's why I said it may not be applicable.

Still, 10+ second Super PI at 4.6 GHz is disappointing if this screenshot is accurate.

Super PI uses legacy single threaded Intel code which has never run well on AMD CPUs ever & is pointless to use it to judge effectiveness between AMD & Intel CPUs.
