Identifying AMD processors

nintenjo · 15 Aug 2011 at 20:50

I have some AMD engineering samples that id like help identifying before i am able to decide what to do with them.. Can somone help identify these via the cpu id code: ZD292046w8k44

I dont have a motherboard with AM3+ available at this time, but can if needs be.. what else should i look for?

nintenjo · 16 Aug 2011 at 09:04

Well i'll check the CPU's tonight and type out all the informations.. It is possible that the number read 6 instead of 8. They were from April 2011.. and as far as i know they are Fusion chips.. although i could be wrong. There is also a ref number on the order saying 8790 if that means anything.

I only have 2..

nintenjo · 16 Aug 2011 at 21:47

I have double check the CPUs and was corect with my previous posting info.

The first one is a bulldozer chip then! Where did you get them from?

From AMD.. and no you cant have them

As mentioned they are property of AMD.

Could you at least put it in and reveal its secrets!

If i get a chance tomorrow ill do this for you

But by the sounds of it they are pretty old now anyway, they are dated from April.

Get the latest CPU-Z, should say what it is I think?

I tried this a while ago when they first arrived and running CPU-Z caused a BSOD on win7.. Hence why i asked on here.

Can you guys let me know what you want benchmarking. And with what software so i have it setup and ready to go later once the chip is switched over.. BTW i doubt ill have much time for running OC configurations. So it will only be running at stock speeds.

Cinebench 11.5 is very quick and easy to run.

It would be.. if it let me run it! The run buttons wont work any ideas? (64bit version)

I have run a Fritz on 1 core but note this is an older CPU i had to test it against somthing.. (Ill switch the CPU later today)

ZD302046W4K43 - Relative Speed 3.85 - Kilo ps 1847

Can you get a CPU-Z screenie?

I cant.. as i mentioned i get a BSOD as soon as CPU-Z loads. Unless you know a fix for this?

What's the clock?

Clock was 3.00 Ghz - but note this was an old CPU unlikely this old one is even based BD.

nintenjo · 17 Aug 2011 at 12:13

i mean OLD to me! .. as in not the original CPU's im intendting to test.

nintenjo · 17 Aug 2011 at 13:28

This is not the same CPU i posted earlier.. it was in the machine already.. so i thaught id test that first to ensure my mobo and set is bechmarking ok

I'll now get the other one tested! (im a busy man.. give me a break)

nintenjo · 17 Aug 2011 at 13:46

I never thaught a thread would get so busy.. i only wanted to know what it was i had

Well if it is a BD chip then of course it would get busy... Everyone here has been dying to see reliable BD benchmarks .

And your expecting to get those from me.. a novice overclockers with not much spare time ? .. besides isnt Bulldozer out now? or in the next few days (sorry i dont follow CPU tech much anymore)

nintenjo · 17 Aug 2011 at 18:42

ok i have finally managed to switch over the CPU's.. so i am now running the ZD292046w8k44 sample.. running at stock (at least i think its stock 2.9ghz)

Fritz Chess Board
8 cores - RS 19.41
8 cores - Kilo p/s 9316

1 core - RS 3.4
1 core - Kilo p/s 1632

Cinebench 64bit

CPU Test - 4.64pts 8C/8T (which dosnt look that good to me.. as my i7 comes in a lot higher)
OpenGL - 37.42fps 8C/8T + ATI 5800 series
(CPU-Z is still BSOD the machine .. so i think it might be the graphics card detection when it initialises)

A Phenom II X6 1100T gets around 5.8 in CineBench.

TBH,testing an ES sample meant for basic validation is probably not going to give you any indication of actual performance of the final product.

I would agree.. only the plus side is the CPU is fully unlocked for some serious overclocking.. but it still wouldnt get you much of a comparison result.

nintenjo · 17 Aug 2011 at 19:11

One issue i have is the motherboard is also a AMD Sample.. so i dont have any drivers for it.. so its all running stock windows drivers which im pretty sure wont help. Considering it has a fair decent CPU and 16GB of ram it should be pretty nippy but dosnt really seem that way.
