I guess this will be Sempron 140/145 territory. Not sure what'll happen with big VGA configurations ... even Vantage must be CPU limited then

[yamahar1]

Massman i want to buy a intel celeron 356 (3.33) what do you say for this cpu? it's ok for this challenge?

[Massman]

It's okay per competition rules, but I'm not sure if it'll be competitive.

Why is the sempron so special/great/intel beater

[zoro]

i guess because of DDR3 support

[El Gappo]

You can have celerons with ddr3. Semprons are just newer better faster Check out the single core wprime rankings.

Not sure about the CPC, but the Semprons can be pushed to 5G+ ... as only single core CPUs.

 

I'm very interested to see how the Vantage thing will pan out. I'm not sure having 4 GPUs will even help; if the CPU bottleneck is too big, it's possible that 2 GPUs would be enough.

[Christian Ney]

I can have also my celeron @ 5Ghz but not as good WPRime score as the sempron sigh. just bought a sempron, now I need motherboard and LN2, will see with my team

Thanks Massman. Was having trouble making my 3DmV result public last night anyway.

[Massman]

Any ideas about multi-gpu configurations for the 3rd stage?

Good job the comp is for pcmark 05 then lol

 

 

I think the orb link should stay... had enough of cheating for 1 day.

Heh... i think its my turn to win this competition . Hope my ud3p will be back from warranty. ( baby die :`( )

[Massman]

No unlocking allowed

Wanted to say 3DMark not PCMark.

Anyway I have also bought PCMark Vantage, the free version is a fake, only one use and no score

[reggiesanchez]

am I missing something or can we just enable one core on any chip and it counts??

[Massman]

No, only native single cores

[Linuxfan]

Any ideas about multi-gpu configurations for the 3rd stage?

I might try the 3870X2 with the P4 for kicks.

[placid]

can I resubmit my old score ?

[Massman]

If it fits the limitations - yes

[Christian Ney]

If it fits the limitations - yes

 

it's allowed to use an old score ? So we can use actual WR ?

[Massman]

Well, you cannot post someone else's scores of course.
