Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Exciting ... , ...I can't believe this is happening as fast as it is.

yep i've seen an article here
http://tweakers.net/nieuws/43490/Kentsf ... -4GHz.html

claiming that we should expect an 2239 Cinebench score

for info
a Dual Opteron 285 mobo scores 1616

my current sytem is a dual dualcore opteron 270 that scores around 940 cinebench that as represented a boost of 5.6 in most case compare to my old P4 2.4 that was around 245, that to say it doesnt scale comparatly, so i do expect a big slam for next years renders ( maybe a render that took 30 hours with maxwell currently would only take 8-10 hours )

yep, and and amd should be up and running again by the end of next year..

i've got no preference at all, ibm or amd, as long as it gets the job done for a good ratio price/speed

not really related to kentsfield, and not that we really need any other core 2 review, but I just happened to stumble over this one. just for the sake of it:

according to above link,

kentsfield prices

X3220 2.40GHz 1066MHz 8MB L2 $851
X3210 2.13GHz 1066MHz 8MB L2 $690

Clovertown xeon prices

E5345 2.33GHz 1333MHz 8MB L2 $851
E5320 1.86GHz 1066MHz 8MB L2 $690

I take it those are the prices for dealers, two Clovertowns for 1300$ sounds unrealistic. If not then we have reason to cheer.

The new dual-core Xeon MP 7150N will be clocked at 3.5 GHz with a 667 MHz front-side bus. This particular model will have 2MB of L2 cache and 16MB of L3 cache.

yummy
