AMD TWKR Edition CPU Preview

Testing:

SuperPI is a program that has been developed by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to calculate 2³²decimals of PI. It was later modified to suit the needs of benchmarkers. The "Mod 1.5 XS" version is the one widely used.

For this benchmark, I was able to get all four cores up to an impressive 4.9GHz. The top overclocks on LN2 (and LHe) bring the time down to approximately ten seconds.

SiSoft Sandra is a diagnostic utility and synthetic benchmarking program. Sandra allows you to view your hardware at a higher level to be more helpful. For this benchmark, I will be running a few tests on which  the overclock has a great impact so we can see what performance can be gained.

Processor Arithmetic

Multi-Core Efficiency

Memory Bandwidth

Along with the memory bandwidth, I ran the memory latency test, which yielded 61ns. These are some great results, even if I had the TWKR clocked at only 4683MHz. The processor arithmetic test requires much more stability than the other benchmarks, hence why I could not  clock the cores higher like I did for SuperPI and 3DMark Vantage.
