Geekbench Your Computer!

[photon]

Man, too many systems faster than mine, I have to at least overclock my system.

1409. Frick no wonder why my computer is so slow. Ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Its supposed to be relatively new too

[Hack&Lube]

Geez, the new I7's kick Core 2 Quad butt!

You should definetely overclock.

Hey with your EP45-UD3P (awesome overclocker), does your EIST/C1E (speedstep work)?

I don't know what's wrong with mine but while it will drop the multiplier, it won't reduce voltage anylonger (when it used to) when the computer is idling so I'm running a bit hotter than I like. I've reset the bios plenty and flashed to the latest one.

I also have an issue where if the power goes out or the power cable is disconnected, the lan ports will refuse to be recognized by windows and I will need to reset the bios. This isn't a dead battery as the bios settings are all preserved, it's just the ethernet ports fail to be intialized for some reason. The firewire lan won't work either but I don't really need that.

The only thing is I'm pretty sure my massive thermaltake heatsink has a curved base (well most are curved apparently, but mine more than others), I've gone through a few processors now where the temps just don't seem right, HWMon says my processors are idling at 40 degrees for two of them and 27 degrees for the other two, and my Q6600 was similar, though the temperatures under load aren't bad, 54 degrees under a few minutes of load. So I kind of want to get a new heatsink first just to see. And a new case.

Yeah mine seems to work, though it doesn't undervold by much, from 1.152 down to 1.088.

Hmmm. That Processor Integer Performance rating... I notice mine is pretty low. Is int performance all about the GHz?

Here's some info about how to interpret the results:

John Poole, Official Rep, replied 1 year ago
Geekbench scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1000, which is the score a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz would receive. Higher scores are better.

Geekbench scores increase linearly. For example, if you've got two machines, one that scores 800 and one that scores 1600, then the latter is twice as fast as the former.

Section scores (e.g., integer, floating point, etc) are just the simple average score of all the benchmarks in the section, while the overall score is a weighted average of the four section scores (integer and floating point each count for 35% of the overall score, while memory counts for 20% and stream counts for 10%).

So, in other words, if I'm reading that correctly... Zedman's home-built desktop is 10 times more powerful than a circa 2003 G5 Power Mac @ 1.6GHz.

Me too. Core 2 Quad with 2 cores? WTF! It should also be 2.4ghz instead of 2.5...

Actually I'm pretty pleased with my score considering I built it in May of 08. Its good for my score that it doesn't seem to take GPU into account, since I kind of skimped on the video card. (GF9600GT) I used to have it overclocked to 3ghz, but my previous power supply couldn't handle it and I have been too lazy to go back in and raise it now that I have more juice.

[calumniate]

This sucks! oh well my computer is over 2 years old

my lincoln town car is like 20 feet long by the way

[SoulOfTheFlame]

My i7 got a 7135... not too shabby.

4 year old work computer, no video card, 1gb ram:



This 4 year old HP is one of the best computers i've owned. No problems, it's fast still (mainly because I take pretty good care of it), the power supply went in it last year, but no big deal. The PSU's that come with these desktops are crap anyway. This computer does everything I need to do for work, and I only miss the video card when I'm doing some photoshop or opening a solidworks file, which is not very often.

I firmly believe keeping a well organized and clean computer can last someone years and years. Unless you're doing gaming, major editing, or engineering or something that requires a lot of ram/video processing power, a cheap machine like this one is perfect for 90% of users out there who check email and surf the web.

Not bad for a 4 year old laptop.

I got 3197. Not terrible for a computer I put together on a budget of $600 last spring.

It runs Bad Company 2 really well, so I'm content haha.

Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit

I'll run this when I get home from work. Although it will probably be slowed down from extracurricular activities...

@ work

Laptop: 1642 - HP 2510p 2GB W7 Enterprise
Desktop: 2691 - HP xw4300 3GB WXP SP3

Both run what I need to do at work fine.

3536 on a computer built in August 2006 for about $1500.

My computer still "feels" extremely fast even close to four years later, whereas the computer I had before that was on its deathbed.

Just feels like the software has not really caught up to how good the hardware as become. I can still run new games (without AA and AF), and of course for anything productive it is absolute overkill.

Also interesting to see a test that really looks at the clock frequency: The average E6400 score is 2300, and I have a 50% overclock on mine, which gives me ~3500.

[Russic]

1000 point difference between my home and work imac. Work computer is about 4 years old and comes in at about 2500 while my home unit is 2 years old and is at about 3500.

@ work (but not for work):

~6 yr old Dell desktop --- 1251

XP Pro
Pentium 4 - 2.8GHz
256MB SDRAM @ 333MHz


It's plodding, but it runs Firefox alright. I'm actually surprised the lack of memory didn't inhibit it's test numbers more than it did. I suppose running it immediately after booting up makes that point moot? Either way, I'd expect the numbers to look considerably worse if the benchmark was done at the end of the day w/out a reboot.

[Phaneuf3]

We've got a new low! 642! Here's my main rig (that's right, not some antique I found in the attic and dusted off - it's my main computer at home):

I upgraded the RAM recently, otherwise I shudder to think what that score would look like. It's still as solid as a rock and as fast as I need it to be for what I do with it.

I'll probably drag out my laptop later today and show you a REALLY pathetic score.
