Even een crosspost vanaf mijn topicje op DriverHeaven (waar niemand op reageert
):
Als ik moest kiezen tussen een X2 3600 en een C2D E2140 inclusief goed overklokkend moederbord, en ik wil de beste resultaten halen met Folding en Rosetta, welke moet ik dan nemen?
Er is namelijk praktisch geen enkele bron die iets zinnigs te zeggen heeft over AMD vs Intel hierbij, dus ik hoop dat jullie (op praktijkervaring bijvoorbeeld) meer kunnen melden dan Internet, dat niet verder komt dan dit:
http://techreport.com/rev...n-x2-be2350/index.x?pg=11
Dit vertelde me echter iets anders, de ene helft (Tinker WU) is AMD WAY to go, de andere helft is ''gewoon'' voor Intel.
(Min of meer crosspost van hier op GoT (Jejking in "[Discussie] AMD Sempron, Athlon 64 & Opt..." )
Dus... iemand?
Normaalgesproken vinden de mods het niet zo leuk dat er in het Engels geforumd wordt, maar om even de bottom line in het Nederlands neer te zetten bij jullie:Hello guys,
Next week I am going to get my new computer, and I really really REALLY want to jump into the little world with big numbers, named Folding @Home (and Rosetta @Home of course).
My budget is pretty tight, so I am bound to two CPU's and motherboards:
- AMD's X2 3600 (no Brisbane, I don't want a Dual Sempron, so this is the 2x512KB-version) combined with the Asus M2R32-MVP.
- Intel's E2140 based on the Core-core, with a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3
When I put the numbers and facts together, I see the following facts:
AMD:
+ Low powerconsumption
+ Pretty overclockable and a pretty performanceboost
++ Undervoltable up to 0.8GHz @ 0.8V (have seen evidence)
Intel:
+ Low powerconsumption (M0-stepping lowers power consumption with 4W in HALT-mode, but that doesn't matter here, right?)
++ HUGE overclockability and so a HUGE performanceboost with practically no voltage increase
(when taken performancelevels of an FX62 @2.6GHz and C2D E6700, increases the gap from -3% to +20% in games, advantage for Intel)
-? Undervoltable up to 0.6GHz @ 1.05V (practically no C2D beats that, once seen 0.95V), so compared to AMD WAY higher powerconsumption.
What processor should I buy to get the best results in Folding @Home and Rosetta @Home? And what should be the delta in powerconsumption when you compare an X2 3600 0.8GHz @0.8V to an E2140 0.6GHz @1.05V? Those things are pretty important to me, because I have to pay for my own energybill. I have been searching around the net, but few people can explain which buy should be better.
The difference in price between the combo's is about 15-20 euro, in advantage of AMD, so that won't kill me, so you can let that argument go.
Advice is needed pretty much in here, because days are short and my study is waving to me. Anyone?

Bron: http://techreport.com/for...2e5ed6f362437efc216e02d96It may well be that the 64bit F@H cores "like" larger L2 caches as much (or more) than the 16 registers; since my brother's 17" iMac Core Duo (1.8gHz IIANM) runs the same 1,760 point work units in virtually the same time it takes my Athlon 64 X2 4200+ to complete them.
From what I understand, AMD's CPU advantages are not enough to match the advantage of the super fast SSE of the C2D.
The next gen AMD CPU (later this year?) should significantly improve AMD's SSE.
Also with a built in memory controller, AMD CPUs lack of L2 cache does not make that big of a difference in most cases.
