AMD Triple-Core Phenom 8600 Benchmarks

[X-Files]

Hello everyone,

Here are some benchmark results of the AMD Triple-core 8600 (sorry if it's an old post):

Enjoy!

oh dear.... they suck....

If you thought four cores were slow, wait 'till you see this!

If the Cinebench score serves any indication of real world performance, Toliman 2.3Ghz falls behind E6750 in multi-CPU calculation, and falls even behind Phenom 9600 in terms of single core performance.

Weird though, that Phenom 2.3Ghz scores about the same as Toliman 2.3Ghz in Super Pi.

Old news, and a single bench? SuperPi no less, which isn't even multithreaded... no wonder it sucks.

You can get a much better idea of performance here:

At 2.3GHz, multithreaded performance is about on par with higher clocked C2Ds (E6750, E6850), but single threaded performance is quite poor, as can be expected.

SuperPi is single threaded!

The links you shown above talked about SIMULATIONS of the Phenom triple-core based on the Phenom X4 9600, not the real Triple-core 8600...

True, by disabling a core. Windows sees it as 3 CPUs.

How does that differ to a 'real' tri core, which also has a disabled core? 😉

Probably the "real" tri core is worse?

Geez, what's next? 6 cores? You know, Tri-FX or something.

Roll up, roll up Thunderman...................


We need your input now.............

I can do a passable impersonation. :lol:

"AMD will destroy Intel with native tri core technology! Three cores are more than enough to frag Intel double cheeseburger quads which aren't even real quads! Intel BK Q109! AMD4Life!"

 

[epsilon84]

Well if their cheaper than Intels E6750, it will sell no doubt.
Its a surefire way to unload a ton of bugged quads.....cheap...

Except that the E6750 is being phased out, and by the time tri-core is released, it'll be competing against a faster E8400 at the same price as the existing E6750 (after all the damn price gouging subsides, obviously).

 

[jimmysmitty]

Hard to understand without good engilsh translations but from what I can see its not much better than a E6750 which makes it just normal.

Oh well. I guess they will be cheap oir at least close to the cost of production.

Did you try Google translations? It makes it fairly understandable at least. 😉

I'll wait for some more official tripple cripple benchmarks.

What, you prefer double cheeseburgers instead?

"tripple cripple"

lmao

thats good.

 

[epsilon84]

I wonder what the graphic for a Tri Core Crossfire-X setup would be like. Would the metallic Spider be missing one leg? :lol:

 

[spuddyt]

umm.... if you count the 3 cores, and the 4 GPU's (in 3870x2s) by my calculations... yes? still, you can hide that behind it faiirly easily XD

 

[reconviperone1]

Hope its cheap

 

[BSMonitor]

Way to diversify the budget CPU market even further AMD!!!!!

Phenom 8000 series. Actually it's probably a better buy than the crappy overheating Quads. They probably will overclock better with the bad core disabled... What have people been sayin? Core(2) of the Quad-Core is the problem?

Anyone want to bet they don't make a BE version of it. Embarass the hell out of their Quad-Core Phenoms.

 

[buzznut]

triple cripple. that's bound to catch on. This is just like George W, should keep amd around awhile just for laughs!

 

[buzznut]

next up: Phenom X1! it has cores 0,1, and 3 disabled. You turn on your pc and the proc lets out a big fart. But it's only $5 shipped from newegg!

Lol,

You can guess now that hes putting his little brain in to gear trying to retribute another flaming of AMD.....

I cant believe that a company can have this much bad luck... Its like paying 600 million dollar for a race horse thats turned blind, lost one of its legs, has constant diahreoh ( the **** ), has sores on its back, no tail, lost all its teeth and still tries to race in the Kentucky Derby.....

So here we go

2900 series video card - loud and slow compared to an over a year old card
3800 series - still slow compared to a 3 month old one let alone a year old one (8800gtx)
3870 x 2 - just pips the 8800 ultra after 2 3870 processors and over a year of new technology

Phenom , more like Sempron
Tri core - well forget it...... a faulty quad core which when a quad core works is faulty anyway !!!!!!! How much faulty can we stand....

Phenom - more bugs than the Chinese has in the Pentagon...


I would say that yes the Phenom as posted in another thread is possbile the worst processor release...

There is none available in the trade, so I can't even begin to try one, and I would if i could get my hands on one.
The promises, the lies, the bugs and speed problems for this little beauty have been beaten by a year old Quad 6600..

Drop the Phenom, make something else, you have lost so much credibility on this baby that most of us just dont care anymore.... Re use the ATI Banner, Call your Processors ATI Equinox Quad or ATI Phase processors or something by AMD , dont call it a Black Edition... Just make it overclockable from day one....and change the AMD logo to something other than that green colour monstrosity you have now.....

Heh, I wouldn't be surprised. AMD has two K8 BEs, the 5000+ and 6400+, they may decide to do the same with Phenoms, one for tri, one for quad.

If indeed Core2 (not Intel 😛) is the problem and tri-cores end up disabling that core then we may well see some overclocked 3GHz tricores.
