AMD's 3GHz K10 to break 30,000 3DMark06

The Inquirer details some additional Barcelona performance. I could barely break 20K with an Intel QX6850 Quadcore with an 8800 Ultra in SLI mode in 3DMark06.....

In the real world, our Intel Kentie 2.93GHz test bed will score around 7.5 GB/s, Athlon 64 X2 5000+ shoots around 8.3-8.8 GB/s, depending on the memory latency, and now Phenom scores even better ? pretty close to a five figure range. But regardless of missing the 10 GB/s mark, it is still faster than any DDR3 memory on an Intel system, regardless of the clock achieved by the DDR3 memory. If you put the memory on 1066 MHz, 11GB/s bandwidth was smashed with read, write and copy tests and that was by quite some margin.
