*STABLE* Black Hole Benchmark

[Origin Saint]

Well I ran the test and have the screenshot ready, but I cannot submit my scores on the BlackHoleTec webpage. Creating an account throws an exception: "Form process halted for suspicious activity. It requires that cookies be enabled." Made me feel like I was trying to hack into something . Not sure what's up there, as cookies are enabled. Anyway, here's the screenshot in the meantime:

Turns out, my W3690 OC's to 4.04 ghz on stock voltages.

 

[Calin]

Those icons, man!

 

[Intel_man]

Don't hate on my icons!

 

[Calin]

Anyway, nice score, @Intel_man but it didn't beat my i7 overall

 

[Intel_man]

The overall score is calculated by adding the three tests together. Each test is not directly related together, so the overall score doesn't really mean much. What you want to compare is the score in each test. With that said, my W3690 @4.6 whooped a 6700k in the multithreaded test. 6C/12T ftw!

I'd at least make it a fair game by testing against a 5930K

 

[Intel_man]

Yea but... no one here has one.

Eat it nerds, Win7 on top of ESXi with an Athlon 5350.

I need to see if my dad's Pentium Pro still boots. If it does, it's going to be hilarious to see how bad the numbers are.

You're an Intel fan. You should brag about your single core performance because that's where AMD sucks bad.

 

[Intel_man]

Correction, I'm an Intel man*. I'm a fan of performance in every aspect. Intel or AMD.

Don't they just generally suck bad even when it comes to prices now that Vishera is 3.5 years old?

Psch, wait for the 'fire' sale once AM4 drops. (pun intended)

AM4 is gonna be life-changing for AMD fans, I'm sure!

If you've bought a Vishera CPU in the past year or so, you've made a terrible mistake.

We can only hope.

Unfortunately that's true. At the moment custom-built PCs are expensive because you have to buy Intel. At least when AM4 comes along we will have an alternative.

 

[RujoKinJal]

But, will the AM4 platform be enough to keep pace with intel?

Probably depends what workload you're talking about. FX can keep pace with modern i5s for highly threaded, integer specific workloads. Anything else it comparatively falls on its face (especially old code and/or Skyrim, x87 runs horribly on that platform).
