Do you have any recall that the burning hot AMD 939 Opteron series?
It has been caused a shopping rush by its 1mb cache memory, a server level
product
and the wide range of overclocking ability.
It is a big sale for 939 Opteron 144/146 and the dual core model 165 since
this month.
That makes many 939 users and peoples who want to keep their AGP graphic
are trying to upgrade their systems.
I have just brought 3 Opteron144
Distributors goods
The overclock ability of these 3 Opteron144 single-core above are quite
similar.
In 1.5V above, they almost reach 2.9G~3G in a steady status.
Get to the point; unfortunately, its almost 5 months since AM2 launched into
market.
But, its seldom to hear any information about Opteron Server series.
(AM2 Opteron CPU has some relative news in media few days ago.)
This time, I try to test Opteron 1218 AM2 version,
1mb cache with dual cores and the default MHz is 2.6G
Test platform:
CPU:AMD AM2 Opteron1218
MB: LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R
DRAM:Mushkin Tuner XP Redline
VGA:ELSA GLADIAC 790GS 256B3 2DT
HD:Seagate 7200.5 120GB
POWER:Corsair HX620W Modular Power Supply
Cooler:Tower112
Default 2600MHz
Performance test by Sandra and Everest
PI 1m and CPU Mark(coz test with an old model HD and a mess up system,
PI will be a little slower)
overclocked to 3014MHz
Performance test by Sandra and Everest
PI 1M
CPUMARK
quite stably when 3G Dual-core in 1.488V
Of course, the result above is not the limit of 1218.
Its possible to have a higher clocking.
although, AMDs performance are slightly fall behind, but if all series have a
better Cost/ performance ratio, AMD still the best choice for mid-range &
value consumers.
