Multi-threaded CPU benchmark replacement for Super Pi: wPrime

[opendriver]

Ive yet to test at 4Ghz, not sure what number ill pull there


Anyone here got an E8400, E8500, or E8600? All will hit 4Ghz on stock volts an cooler

 

[Turbo Lag]

I got an E8400. I don't have the proper cooling or anything to overclock, and not the balls either .

 

[Fohner]

I get 18.6 seconds.

Holy thread resurrection! And there was me wondering why my app looks so different.

Anyway, is this fast enough for you?



I'll sit here happy until Pako comes along...

 

[opendriver]

Nice time Giles, Pako should be close to that, I dont know how many mid-4 Ghz runs hes willing to do with his EE

The fastest ive seen is a little over 4 seconds, but that was with Dual QX 9775's @ 4.7 Ghz

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Thanks! I think I could push my rig to 4.2 - certainly for a short period - but I'm happy with the performance & stability at 3.8. Also, I've still got hyperthreading and speedstep enabled, so I'm making best use of the processor's capabilities.

Thats not the Multi-thread version.

Edit: It is the right version. I ran 1.55 and my score was 14.99 then I ran 2.00 and ran 15.437
I'm sure I could get a better score but I don't feel like messing with my OC. These times were rum 2.8 ghz

I got 15.236 seconds with:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz CPU
with 6GB DDR2 RAM

 

[G.T]

8.66 seconds. The software doesn't seem to be reading my system right haha. It's an i7 860 @ 3ghz:

Speedstep downclocks it when it doesn't need the power. The reading was probably taken at or near idle.

 

[G.T]

Nope I was in turbo mode so it was at 3ghz the whole time according to PC Wizard. The wPrime software doesn't seem to update itself realtime.

Still at 3ghz though...

Yeah, I used Prime95 to crank the processor whilst wPrime was getting the hardware info. That's how mine shows the correct clock speed.

The wPrime software doesn't seem to update itself realtime.

It only reads the speed at the start of the program.

stock i7 920 HT off (11.828)

lowest was 11.78

HT on (9.297)
http://www.wprime.net/?q=fview&id=4783

Both of these should be at about 2.8GHz
