I currently run 5 cores of the X6 and the Mapping Cancer unit takes 7.5 hours. Has anyone switched to the Vishera and seen a good increase? I can't find anything on the web so thought I would try here. I am hoping to get a 30%+ increase along with running 7 cores instead of 5 now.
Any advice would be appreciated. I have done 5.4 years worth of work in 1.5 years. Not bad. Wish a GPU project would start again. |

I have 2 FX-8350's running in my farm
----------------------------------------This one (4.4Ghz @ full load/all cores) http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=host&proj=bwcg&hostid=1909500 and this one (4.0Ghz @ full load/all cores) http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=host&proj=bwcg&hostid=2198810 You should see at least 25% more output for your setup  EDIT: Note- you can run all cores without a slowdown. FX chips run fully loaded just fine.

Thanks for the response. Does the FX use a full 125 watts? I am using 5 cores and my PC consumes 150 Watts. I am hoping to add 3 more cores for the same wattage.

I have an A8-5600K with a TDP of 100 watts but the full computer is using 100 watts. You could wait a while to see if a new Steamroller-based FX shows up, if only for any price cuts. Also, if you haven't bought the 8350 yet, get the 8320 and just overclock that one to 4 GHZ and you will have saved £25.

@Falconet - Steamroller seems to have higher perf/MHz but lower work clock so I doubt they will be much faster (if they appear, no info about FX Steamrollers atm). Most FX chips are really cheap right now (due to fairly cheap intel haswels) so I doubt any new FX could make it much cheaper. I guess we'll be limited to piledriver/thuban performance level for quite some time @ AMD rigs - maybe excavator changes things but I doubt it.

If you just swapping the CPU, have you checked that your motherboard/socket is compatible?

Promilus,
----------------------------------------True but I read somewhere that if Steamroller comes out it will be in a different process than Kaveri, which will allow it to clock higher leading to better performance.

https://folding.stanford.edu runs gpu tasks. I have dissabled the cpu portion but it still uses as much cpu as 1 mcm task.
