New AM2 LE1600 cpu performance?
Hey does anyone have one of these yet? I'm interested in how they perform
and how good they are for over clocking, cos if they're any good I wouldn't mind using them in a couple of low budget pc's. So far I can't find any benchmarks... |

Odd are it'll run pretty much the same as a San Diego 3700+ 1Mb (2.2Ghz) unit but generate less heat and use less power. May o/c higher. Why you'd want a single core now when an dual core AM2 socket X2 4000+ Brisbane costs the same or less ($50) and will o/c as much or more is beyond me. |

It's being run on a top of the line board with a a custom watercooling rig with triple internal radiators. It errored at just over 3.4Ghz. Which is exactly what I'd expect any decent AMD single or dual core to do given the same setup. An X2 is still afar better budget choice. |

Since it seems soooo fecking important to you, I'll say "you're right." Feel better? The OP asked about the LE-16xx, and all you can do is blather about how dumb we all are. Go soak your head.) FWIW, I bought one (LE-1620) for the larger cache, the ability to apply the entire thermal budget to a single core, and just for the sake of being different! It goes 3.1+ out of the box with stock voltage and the wimpy stock fan. Not too shabby. With a better (air) cooler and 1.45v, I'm up to 3.4 and a hair. A friend has a 3.1 ("That's all she's got, Captain!") Brisbane I can borrow; I hope to do some real-world comparisons between the two chips. The primary game I play makes little use of multi-core chips, so I expect close results and won't be surprised if the LE wins. For $50 I've had some fun and have wound up with a speedy chip. -Moo! |

I checked out that forum and have since read another article from someone that got similar results. Considering most of todays games that people will be playing on a "low budget" system will not benefit from multi-core processors, I see the LE-**** series cpu's excellent value, especially with the OC possibilities! For $57 Australian, I doubt you'd find a processor to match the performance for cost, as you can barely find an outlet that still sells the single core Athlons 64 chips, especially not for this price range. Although the current crop of Brisbane cored cpus have some good potential, as I currently run an AM2 X2 4400+ (standard @ 2.3Ghz) running @2.78Ghz with the standard HSF & voltage. I've had it running @ 2.86Ghz but it was starting to heat up at full load, but with some decent water cooling, I'm sure it'd be good for a little over 3Ghz....I could always go buy a faster chip to start with like people say...but that wouldn't as much fun! Keep us updated on how you go OCing your chip, as I might have to buy one just for some OCing fun... |
