Opteron 175 Performance at stock

[yoinkF]

Hello,

Anyone know roughly how an Opteron 175 at stock speed would compare to an athlon 64 3700 Socket754 for single threaded tasks such as games?

Cheers.

tere are no skt 754 3700+ san diego chips methinks, theyre probs the clawhammer core. i dont know the answer to your question either, sorry.

As far as I can remember the Skt 754 3700+ ran at 2.4ghz with 1mb l2 cache. This would make it faster in single core apps than the Opty 175 running at 2.2ghz (stock).

In dual optimised games the 175 would pull away.

True the s754 3700+ is 2.4GHz & 1MB L2 cache.
But the s939 3700+ is 2.2GHz & 1MB L2 cache.

Yet the s754 is either the same as or slower than the s939 in game tests.
The reason being, the s939 is a more efficient design & so to make up for the difference, for the s754, AMD had to increase their speed from 2.2 to 2.4 GHZ.

So in real world processing power a s754 3700+ = s939 3700+ (2.2GHz).

Thus even at stock on only single core games / apps the Opteron 175 is the same as a 3700+, but will be quicker in multi core apps / games.
