Posted June 13, 201311 yr If I wasn't so tired currently I would have thrown the setup from the balcony. The motherboard failed.
June 13, 201311 yr Amazing!!! Is Zambezi still faster than Vishera on SuperPI even using "The Plow of Bulldozer" on both? If the answer is yes, sub-9s with AMD can be a reality eh? Edited June 14, 201311 yr by NoMS
June 14, 201311 yr Awesome, you're bringing Piledriver to a whole new level! Noone was interested in benching 15h for Pi, but now it would be interesting... Oh, and Insomnium:
June 14, 201311 yr Honestly, I don't know why no company is hiring you as addition to the RD team. You not only managed to "out-code" every single AMD ODM BIOS team, but now also managed to figure out a fix for a benchmark that made AMD look superslow compared to previous products. Have you declined offers?
June 14, 201311 yr Crew lol talk about hiring. i was chatting to one of the guys from bios team and she said she was there for "only" 8 years. That's considered a junior position still LOL damn

That's considered a junior position still LOL damn ... and that's why some companies get ahead of others. Same story with Shamino, actually (although his talents are in a different field). No offense to you. I know the people who make these decisions are in completely different departments and there's more than just "enthusiast" as requirement.
June 14, 201311 yr Crew great music, especially the first one in the video (Hanoi Rocks - Delirious) :nana:
June 14, 201311 yr Author Amazing!!! Is Zambezi still faster than Vishera on SuperPI even using "The Plow of Bulldozer" on both? If the answer is yes, sub-9s with AMD can be a reality eh? I'm not sure if the difference is still there after the new AGESA & µCode versions. If it is, < 9 seconds will happen in no time. In any case < 9 seconds will be easy on Vishera too. The part I was using yesterday was an ultra low leak / ultra high aq specimen, which maxes out at ~ 1.97V on LN2. During the 9.547 second run on the video, the voltage was around 1.89V during the PI. 1.50000V VID + 0.4V offset, loadline set to 0.525mOhm ("Ultra High"). The newer (packed >= 44/12) FX-8 -series parts should be able to do SuperPI 1M at 8GHz - 8.2GHz, if you have a good specimen of course. My clocks were ~ 7900MHz (31.5 * 250.8) in the 9.547s run. Also disabling the "slave" cores on Zambesi should still help in SuperPI as the remaining "master" core will have a full L2 cache and L3 partition for it's private disposal. For Trinity and Richland there is no difference any more between the masters and the slaves. Not sure about Vishera as its been a while since I tested it. At some point I will see what happens when you have a 4MB L3 cache per CU instead of the normal 2MB. This naturally requires downcoring as only 8MB of L3 physically exists. The same configuration is used in some of the Opterons, FX-4350 and partially in FX-6 series (1x 4MB, 2x 2MB). Of course you could set 4MB for the executing CU, 2MB for the seconds CU and 1MB for the remaining two
June 14, 201311 yr Crew Incredible result! Nice to see some AMD superpi performance. It seems Im the only one who dont knows the app "The Plow of Bulldozer"? I cant imagine a 2-3sec increasement in sp1m by just manually alter some pstates so it must be the app, or whatever kind of magic you apply here... ...and why did the little bulldozer lost its plow? Sorry for asking Im just curios
