Hmm wow I don't really think thats a spanking for an I7 at 4.6ghz VS my $100 Phenom II at 3.8ghz

Yea it's really at 4.4. It would be 4.6 if it was single threaded. I am really surprised myself. I thought the scaling would be alot better. I should run a single thread and compare to 8 threads and see how much it actually scales to.

Yea, he only shaved off 40% of your time ;)

@ Thermal Reactor--it did state that it was using 8 threads, so it should have been using HT.

Well it said it was using 50% of my CPU? I am not sure if that my meter is incorrect or if it's not using HT.

+1

Something's wrong, I can almost beat your times at only 4.2 GHz...

I dunno if you changed some system setting or something, but you should be about 10% faster than that.

Yeah at 300% the price of mine ;) With 600 mhz more speed. Bring his down to 3.8ghz and will it only be like 20% less time? pfft way not worth it.

And the motherboard was probably 3 times as much too, and ram twice as much. ETC.

There's certainly truth to the statement, but then there are situations where you'll need the power of an i7--ie, with the new EL WUs that Folding@home is offering, where you need all 8 virtual cores and the cache to get the WUs done :D.
 
Following exactly what I saw in the first post...

*edit*
Wow... The forum compression really killed the image :P

i got, 83 :/ ill post pic later, but i have a 5200+, oddly enough when i counted it wasnt 83 it was around a minute:confused:, ill redo later i guess haha
 
256 and 512 on the i7. I might try some other machiens later on. Oh, and I did have trillian and some things downloading at the time of these benchmarks, so they aren't really "true" but should be accurate enough :P

----

Stupid compression...

Total time for the 256 was 135.441 seconds and 512 was 296.167 seconds

Ouch? :P
 
zero cool how did you get 3.8ghz stable with only 1.325 volts??? What CPU cooler do you have? Very nice!
Whats your CPU-NB speed?

didnt have to even try just turned multi up and booted :D ohh and i have a dark knight cooler and nb 2600/2600 my chip is one of the 1st batch of 720's i bought it the 1st week out. very good overclocker

Wow. Want to trade? haha. Yeah the first batch was the best, if only I had known. It takes 1.50 Vcore to get 3.8 stable on my chip. runs hot. With the 512 test I had to run 3.6ghz, and still hit 63c.

Have you ever tried to clock higher? Whats it top out at? Sounds like you got a 4ghz+ chip on your hands if you are running stock volts at 3.8. Nice!

Yeah I was running 2600/2400 for the test. Did you have to increase the CPU-NB voltage to run 2600?

look for 4ghz club thread ive had it to 4.3 on air with some voltage ofcourse:D and no voltage bump on nb

Dang, thats sweet. Soooo you keep ignoring me, trade? LOL :P:P

Your CPU probably runs cool as a cucumber at 3.8ghz running stock voltage huh?
