Cinebench Benchmark

saw this plastered over at other forums, lets see what the fuss is about with this cpu rendering benchmark

get it here

use the CPU Benchmark Rendering (X CPU)

AMD AM2 4600 (Dual Core) @ 2.8Ghz - 28 seconds to render the scene

QX6700 (Quad Core) @ 3.33Ghz - 12 seconds to render the scene

Amd fx51 i think i need quad

At stock, was running at 2.9 ghz, had BSOD of Bad pool caller yesturday so I put back to stock.

sorry so whats the fuss about ...... Cinebench 9.5 is fully multi - core aware so a four core cpu halves the time taken to render what a dually does (give or take a few %)

Surely thats what everyone would expect.............

QX6700 (Quad Core) @ 3.6Ghz - 11 seconds to render the scene

Hi,

Overclocked to 2.9 Ghz Conroe 6600

maddness · 23 Oct 2006 at 22:56

not bad, you should be able to push up those clocks,

whats board and memory are you using, also the cooling?

thanks

RJC · 23 Oct 2006 at 23:03

Hi,

Using DFI Infinity with 2gb Geil RAM 800mhz.
CPU cooling by the Arctic freezer pro, idle around 42c, full load 60c. one thing that does worry me is my NB is running at 70c :eek:

.

Looking at water cooling or the scythe.

i remember that board, you need active cooling on the northbridge.
I did manage 3.6Ghz from my 6600 though on air and im sure it was with a low end coolermaster aquagate..

I thought active cooling might be the case, had a look at the Thermalright HR-05 tower, one thing that concerns me is the arctic cooler covers part of the std passive heatsink (1 or 2 mm) so I will need to have measure up.

Thats were the watercooling might come in handy (swiftech) and by a northbridge adaptor.

Merom @ 3.25ghz. Will re-run with Conroe later.
If you run the single test as well as the multi, it'll give you a speedup figure

E6600 at 3.4 - 21 seconds.

GinG · 24 Oct 2006 at 13:00

Spec in Sig did it in 22seconds

marc2003 · 24 Oct 2006 at 15:28

spec in sig - 1m06s

....nah, i'm not sad really. this pc is still more than fast enough for what i need. of course i need a new gfx card (my x800pro@xt pe died the other day). but i never encode/render/crunch anything, so dual/quad core would be wasted on me.

I think you might be surpised at how fluid windows is - especially if you have several background tasks on auto startup - with even a basic dual core cpu, let alone if you actually game regularly or just do a bit of multitasking.

I completely agree with you regarding quad though, thats really only necessary for encoding etc as you mentioned

4400x2 @ 3.15ghz
