Black Hole - Benchmark (OLD Version)

[spirit]

Why the hell is your Vcore 1.77v????? Holy shit balls dude your temps must be insane and you are killing that chip quickly!

Plus the multiplier is underclocked, the stock multi is 7.5 which would give you 2.5ghz.

It's running at stock. Nothing regarding voltages and multipliers has ever been changed in the BIOS. Temps aren't that bad, hits about 70C at full load with a stock cooler which is dusty as hell, idles about 40-45C. Normal temps for a quad-core on the stock cooler, my i5 760 did the same.

@Smile, it's the Athlon rig which I have to run the benchmark with the side panel off.

The i3 has 4 threads, that's as much as your phenom. But for that phenom it's pretty nice.

The Phenom beats the I3 in multithreaded because it has 4 true cores though. The single threaded test was just so much better thats why it still won overall. Hyper threading on a dual core puts it about the same strength as having 3 true cores (when it comes to multithreaded benches).

I have a funny feeling that im not even clocked at 3.4GHz, i think i put it down to 3.2 for stability D: Which in that case is an awesome score for my good old Q6600 ;D

Gotta love Core 2 QUUUAADDDs. I really wish I had a Q6xxx or a Q9xxx/Q9x5x chip, would be great for overclocking.

Oh, and why does the i7 score better then an fx eight-core then? (I mean in all multithreaded benches).

 

[87dtna]

Because the FX isn't a true 8 core either. It's AMD's scam, it has 4 ''modules'' with hyperthreading and for some reason they call them all cores. The FX4100 has 2 modules, and the 6100 has 3 modules. Thats why an I3 still spanks a 4100.

second place please.

and first place will come when I get it stable at 5GHz, maybe 4.9GHz.

No, intel is the only company that uses and can use hyperthreading. I know about that lie of amd, they got 4 modules, where each module includes 2 integer 'cores' but shares FPU, cache, and fetch/decode logic. It's another way then intel does it.

multiplier seems to be more effective at this bench.
I'm waiting until bigfella posts his scores WITH cpu-z.

 

[wolfeking]

how the speed is achieved will not matter a bit. It will still process the same amount of data per second no matter if you used the BCLK or the multi.

Yes it's just AMD's version of HT.

You asked why and I7 scores higher, I told you

 

[CrazyHV8000]

Wifes PC, doesn't even beat an I3 how sad...mostly because of the single threaded test though it spanks Phenom II like a read headed step child.

Lol. i3 is only 130 dollar as i paid for my computer. I overclock a bit.

It is normally that old CPU have 1.7 volt. First computer CPU need have 5 volt i think.

 

[CrazyHV8000]

This older quad-core stacks up well to the newer processors I think. Especially the FX-6100, which it is only 100 or so points behind.

The fastest BLCK is 750 MHz. I just saw on hwbot.org

Dad's pc: (i7 3770 @ stock)

Update of scoreboard; I need bigfella to test again with cpu-z opened.

No dude, Q8xxx core 2 quads are 45nm, thats 1.30-1.40 range stock. 1.77 is super high.

Well actually I only paid $70 for this Phenom II 830.

I'm going to try and lower it in the BIOS, thanks for the heads up!

 

[spirit]

Just tried looking in my BIOS for some sort of voltage control setting. As my board is very low-end and not for overclocking at all I can't change the voltage manually I don't think so. Couldn't find anything in the BIOS.

 

[Virssagòn]

The i7 870 from a friend scored 968, pretty good.

Does your board have the latest bios installed? Installing the latest firmware might fix it.

I very much doubt it has the latest BIOS, I'll have to update it. Not sure if it will add any overclocking or voltage control features though, it's a G31-based board - ASUS P5KPL I think.

I find it odd how it's running at 1.7v (according to CPU-Z) yet the temperatures are fine and it would have been running at that voltage for the past 3 years or so with no issues at all.
