My Yonah 2600 at 3Ghz 19Sec SuperPi - Silent Air

[SimonMaltby]

Just got my new setup running and gave some stick for the first time

Setup is
Yonah T2600 (stock 166 x 13 = 2.13Ghz)
Aopen i975 X a-YDG
2 GB Skill HZ 6400 4,5,4,12
Si-120 with 120mm 1400RPM fan

I'm absolutly delighted. Not quite 32M stable. one Mhz FSB down and she is.

Must make me the quicked on OCUK at the moment

very nice, how much did that set you back? any more benches, like 3d mark or sandra bandwidth? Im at 29 secs, so your absolutely flying!!

£365 for chip and board RAM £170 will get to 3d benchies later tonight i hope

3d mark scores are done.

These are at 3Ghz 231 x 13 with Ram at 4,5,4,12 385Mhz or DDR770 (cant get my head round ddr2 terminology)

3D 2001SE 42,603
Previous...
T2600 3.0Ghz 42,603 (Air) Thats a 6.4% increase on the FX60 on Air
FX60 3.3Ghz 40,761 (Freon)
FX60 3.0Ghz 40,019 (Air)

3D 2006 10,517
Previous...
T2600 3.0Ghz 10,517 (Air) Thats a 3.7% increase on the FX60 on Air
FX60 3.3Ghz 10,241 (Freon)
FX60 3.0Ghz 10,139 (Air)

The machine feels very quick generally and is rock stable. Will not go over 233Mhz FSB whatever settings i use... there are reports that this mobo gets to an FSB limit.

As this chip is only a 2MB L2 cache and Conroe / memron are 4MB, coupled with the fact the Yonah is missing a few features like 64Bit... I can confirm that I am happy to be back to intel and the future looks great

hmm was expecting more in 06 tbh. going from single to dual core A64 is a 1000+ points difference (20+%) but going from a A64 fx60 to yonah 3ghz is only 6%???

Dont forget that in 06 the vast majority of the score is based on GPU performance, not CPU.

I have discovered that the graphics clock a lot further on this board than they did on the R580's and therefore suspect that they are not getting pushed as much as they were in the FX60 benchmarks. I will do some more work on this and report.

Also remember this is Yonah not Memron or Conroe.... there will be better scores with those CPU's for sure.

Ram is at cas 4,4,4,10 which seems nice and stable.
