I'm confused, for stage 7, is Llano the only CPU able to be used? I see Intel platforms being used and not aware that Intel can do hybrid GPU, unless I'm wrong?

 

EDIT:

Nevermind, I understand you need a submission from each of the platforms.

The AMD FX stage is (and has always been) by CPUCORE.

 

So Piledriver, Bulldozer, ...

 

So for the older FX chips, core would be clawhammer, windsor, san diego, etc.? Unless it's K8?

[Rasparthe]

That is correct, FX-62 Windsor, FX-60 Toledo, etc

[fgi]

Why I can't make submission in stage 6 with E-350(zacate) APU.

http://hwbot.org/submission/2447800_

 

It is Socket FT1 BGA like E1-1200 'Zacate'. Am I missing something ?

[Splave]

is sandy bridge and ivy bridge considered the same socket for stage 8 as well as clarkdale/lynnfield ?

[der8auer]

yes

[Splave]

thanks mang

[Leeghoofd]

Allen sorry, we can't allow you to win this one mate... that would be too much !

[Splave]

all in good fun!

 

NVM found answer

Question:

 

For the Catzilla AMD APU stage, I see that the HD 6550D is stated using 'BeaverCreek' Core, and HD 6620G using 'Sumo' Core (although GPU-Z will state both GPU using 'sumo' core) Does that mean those two is considered using two different cores?

 

one more,

 

According to hwbot, the HD 8470D is using Devastator' Core, but TPU Gpudb is listing this GPU using 'Scrapper' Core - which one was it was correct?

 

Thanks a lot

[jjjc]

On note of the APU catzilla round, is it enough that the GPUs are a different model no? IE 8670D and 8470D or do they need to be from entirely different releases?

 

Thought I had found one stage where the hardware was readily available, silly me haha

1) Yeah, different. 6620G is Sumo core.

 

2) Good call! It is in fact Scrapper core (and 7640D is Scrapper too, but different generation). Made the distinction in the database, both count as different GPU cores.

So just to further clarify, we can use these APUs to fulfill the 5 submission requirement for Catzilla stage:

1. A10-6800K / HD 8670D - devastator'

2. A10-5800K / HD 7660D- devastator

3. A8-3870K / HD 6550D - beaver creek

4. A6-6400K / HD 8470D - scrapper'

5. A6-5400K / HD 7540D - scrapper

 

Is that right?

[Rasparthe]

Don't forget,

 

A4-3400/HD 6410 - Winterpark is also there and a confusing number of mobile chips that have a few more types (Ontario and Wrestler, I believe)

[Massman]

Thanks Mass

Yup, that would work.

[Rasparthe]

I think I'm confused now. So using a 6800K and a 5800K would make for two separate submissions despite the fact they are both Devestator core?

 

Is the list that Lucky_n00b provided an acceptable list that would get a country to fill the stage? Or would it only register 3 submissions considering there are two Devestator cores and two Scrapper cores listed?

[Massman]

It is an acceptable list, and would show as 5 submissions.

 

Background information: our database structure links gpu_core to gpu_family. We cannot link one core to two families. So, Devestator is linked to the HD 7000 series, and Devestator' linked to the HD 8000 series. It's something we can't work around .

[Rasparthe]

Got it now, maybe a note on the stage's page so that everyone is aware of the 'loophole' (not really sure what to call it )

 

Perhaps you should change the core name to Devestator 7000 series and Devestator 8000 series so its a little easier understand. When I initially searched around the database for cores to use I totally missed they were considered different.

 

Thanks for the clarification!

[QuickFast]

for spi32 low can somebody with new socket beat a score with a socket that has been ran already and replace that socket or do you have to sick with the sockets that has been ran

[IanCutress]

Quickfast: yes, you can submit on a new socket, as long as all seven scores that count are with different sockets

Lucky_n00b: nice list

[Splave]

I assume this is allowed? or no

 

[der8auer]

what the hell is that?

 

PCI to PCIe adaptor?

[IanCutress]

PCIe x1 to PCI adaptor, so you don't have to go find a board with PCI. Though does it work for video output?

[Splave]

Confirmed hasfail and pci gogogogo

 

Used this for i-ram on haswell working fine as well
