SpeedCrazy Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Sandy Bridge is fail , Not true. Even if it does not overclock as much as you would like think of all the thousands of people who do not overclock and will be buying platforms based on it. For them it is awesome.

I suppose , lots of people buy the low to mid end stuff and for that Sandy Bridge is great because it is relatively cheap . But for hardcore guys with i7's and X6's clocked at least at 4ghz , it is fail to "upgrade" to Sandy Bridge since it will not be worthwhile since the D2 revision will only get to 4.4ghz if your lucky and you lose out on the triple channel goodness on LGA1366 and on the 6 core goodness on AM3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah. That sucks. What is the deal with making the retail models slower than the engineering samples. And having reviewers review the engineering samples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah. That sucks. What is the deal with making the retail models slower than the engineering samples. And having reviewers review the engineering samples. It was an idea from Intel to fool the market , if all were able to do 5ghz stable then it would definately be high-end but lets see what Bulldozer and Socket 2011 brings. What PPD do you think a 6 core 1090t at around 4ghz - 4.2ghz would bring in ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedCrazy Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Mine quad gets 90k a wu but thats because of it having 8 cores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 i wonder if there is a way to trick the client into thinking it has 8 cores, im sure my quad would take a while but it would be nice to do big adv wu's if i had a psu lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Plus u get a bonus... We amd guys don't so our actual ppd is a real figure and not a boosted one coz a CPU can't crunch numbers anywhere near as fast as a gpu can...

SpeedCrazy Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 You might be able to trick it but they have a 4 day deadline beyond which you get next to no points. I generally make them with about 6 hours to spare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyamdfanboi Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 i think it also depends on the WU.. coz now my cpu is doing 7k @ 2.8ghz... which is now giving me nearly 40kppd in total with the ps3.. im now posting anywhere from 3k-6k every 3hrs.. and probably about 10k when the cpu sends one through along with the gpu ones...
