Athlon FX Seti Bench

TC · Oct 15, 2003

Finally got some registered DDR 400 today and benched my FX51. The results are not very impressive to say the least. 1:37 at 215*11 - 2365MHz with ram at 1:1 2326. I hope to have my water block adapter soon, but even with that I don't expect to hit any higher than 2500, maybe even less than that. So until a 64 bit OS shows up, and 64 bit boinc maybe - this is way overpriced for the 32 bit performance it yields.

pffft. I was happy to get under 3 hours at 2.2 Ghz. Wait till I get my Opteron system up. I just got my Mobo RAM and CPUs. Still need case, PSU and Vid card though.

TC · Oct 15, 2003

Well I didn't mean that it was horrible, but for those of us with P4's benching sub 2 hours I was expecting a little more given all the hype surrounding this chip. If only 64 bit was available for testing right now...

Burning Phoenix · Oct 15, 2003

For SETI only that does suck unless you could run 2 instances and double up the output.

Xtc4u · Oct 15, 2003

See my thread on My Next dually in the SMP forum.

got your benchie, Tim. I'll update the benchie one last time before seti1 ends.

it's pretty fast for a single WU speed! however, it still trailing those P4c on daily production tho...... 1:37/wu = roughly 14-15wu/day! hmm.....now I know I'll keep all my P4Cs for quite some time since Prescott delay and doesn't look too good, A64FX is pretty fast for now, but for the $$, I'll stick w/ my little 2.4c and wait for next spring/summer I guess....

TC · Oct 15, 2003

Update it if you want, but I'm going to go for a little better time when I get the water cooling in place. I looked into a prommy, but I already spent a damn fortune on this alone.

Eroc · Oct 16, 2003

Thats at 2.3Ghz man. A P4 to do similarly (such as hipro's bad@#$ P4) requires 4+Ghz! To be at almost half the speed to pull those times is pretty impressive.

Hyperthreading does kick as far as output though.

TC · Oct 16, 2003

Well you can look at it that way if you like. I look at the time alone - doesn't really make any difference to me whether the cpu is running 1000MHz or 10,000.

Eroc · Oct 16, 2003

Still, thats almost an hour faster than my P4 (and any P4 w/o supercooling) at whatever speed it is.

Sure it is expensive, but I don't consider cost into performance/benchamarks...unless there is no hope of me affording it

i think thats if u run 64 bit linux there is a amd 64 bit version of the client...
yeah its called x86_64-pc-linux-gnu: ftp://alien.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/setiathome-3.08.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.tar

think thats what u need

SpeeDj · Oct 16, 2003

You could run RedHat I believe fedora has a 64 bit port, or 9.2 of Mandrake is going to release a 64 bit port, SuSE had also mentioned at one point... check into those if what Aftermath posted is indeed the 64 bit CLC then you should be good to go

I was going to tell you earlier ed posted up last week that they were looking for 50 people to test a 64 bit game but your graphics card prolly wouldn't be in the minimum's for it

Looking forward to a 64 bit crunch

Downloading Mandrake for AMD64 - Redhat Enterprise basic for AMD64 is $180

Mandrake is free

Xtc4u · Oct 16, 2003

hey speed, whos looking for what? I should have my 64 up and running by next week or week after.

TC · Oct 16, 2003

We're talking about A) 64 bit OS and B) 64 bit seti client. I'm downloading Mandrake Linux for AMD64 and Berkeley to my great surprise already has the AMD64 seti command line client.

LandShark · Oct 16, 2003

waiting for your re-benchie then!! hope it will shows some "great" improvement under 64bit OS + client!!

TC · Oct 16, 2003

One iso downloaded - 2 to go!

Sir Ulli · Oct 16, 2003

some Info from our Forum, D`espice a member from the Planet take a test on an

AMD Opteron 144 1.8

ASUS SK8N Rev. 1.03
Bios 1002.008

2 x 512 MB PC-2700
Registered ECC (Corsair)@DDR333 2.5-3-3-7 (SPD)

SuSE Linux 8.2 x86-64 Beta (Kernel 2.4.19)
SuSE Linux 8.2 i386 (Kernel 2.4.18)

SETI@Home Client 3.08, x86-64
Client 3.08, i686

here are the results

for German people
here is the full story

the 64 Bit Client is very slow, but why.

Sir Ulli

TC · Oct 16, 2003

I can't get Mandrake to install, but it looks like there's not much point if the 64 bit client is slower than the 32.

Sir Ulli

wow, never imagined it will be that much slower than 32bit client!? i wish they aren't as slow in other real world apps in 64bit OS/apps or i'll have one less reason to move back to AMD....
