Cinebench, anyone try it out?

I just found this cpu, and gpu benchmark test. I don't understand the numbers yet, but my cpu scored with the i7s, if that is true I am very happy. My temps went a little over 60c when I ran it though, stock cooler couldn't keep up when the cpu was really hauling I guess.
I hope it is right because I thought the 8350 was even with i5s. Then again, maybe there are more factors the test does not take into account. Can someone care to explain it?

Image is hard to read, but it scored 630.
 
I don't now how this benchmark works but what I do now it is a good 1 for the cpu.
but it uses al cores, a 15 has just 4 cores, the 8350 has 8.

I was wondering why it only said I had four cores. I read that the 8350 (and 8320 for that matter) are built with four quadrants, each with two cores. I guess cinebench only registers four cores though, but eight threads. I would like to overclock and see what speeds I can get but as I said, my temps shot up. Did you happen to see what your temps were?
 
I was actually interested in this bench. Mostly because it would be one of the few benches where my processor can show its strength being a 6 core processor :D I dont think alot of people have the new gen i7 6 cores here. If they have I havent seen them benched.

I think I already downloaded this and I will give it a shot since now we have a thread about it. Didnt think anyone else was interested in it though.

Well heres mine:



Dont know why its reading my CPU as a 3.3GHz, its 3.2GHz. It says my CPU is supposed to turbo to 3.45GHz but I have never seen that, perhaps I have that turned off and dont know it.

It appears as though the 8 core AMD processors only have 4 FPUs. So 2 cores have to share 1 FPU. Which is probably why CineBench only registered it as 4 "cores".

that still shows that that i7 is still a good cpu.

For anything using more than 8 threads. Which The only thing I have noticed use more than 8 threads is photoshop. Every game I have played I have only seen 6 threads at best and that was BF4.

Well there you go then. Just goes to show that even 4 years after it was released it's still overkill for most things. ;)

Well the amount of cores still is. The IPC is lower then modern CPUs and really isn't overkill.

Which is why when I bought it I was hoping that games would start to take advantage of more than 4 cores. It seems they went into a rather different direction (Intel and AMD) favoring less cores for a higher IPC per core. Which makes sense I suppose, makes them cheaper to produce I would think.
 
The results can vary quite a lot.


For fun I did it on a couple of laptops.

This is my fiancees current laptop she got for 500 bucks, for that kind of money you can't complain.


This one I had to run on a slightly older version of cinebench that would run in 32bit. I assume the numbers are the same, you just remove the decimal point. It took 15 minutes to complete, at least. The laptop is not 10 years old either, it is four years old. When my fiancee still lived in the UK she bought the cheapest laptop she could, it is an advent that cost her 500 pounds (about 750 dollars). It was even a display model! Needless to say things are really overpriced there.

I think the CPU throttled or something... Or I expected a to high score :P. I scored around 720 at 4.2GHz though...
