Fritz Chess Benchmark/Super PI Thread 2010

My attempt.

Not far off really on the fritz, I got about 9100. Anihilated on SuperPi though, 17.3secs was my fastest, that was at 4ghz. :D

I was wondering how much the difference would be, I've heard loads of people say that for gaming, everyday desktop use etc the 965BE is equal to an i7 920, but is nothing like as good for rendering.

Ah well, 9100 isn't too bad! I was hoping to get it over 10k as no-one in this thread has managed it yet, but I can't get it stable enough at 4ghz for a run. :( It would be quite an achievement for a C2 though...

Yeah, it's not a massive way off, it's just the business of getting the right price/performance and features with the choice between AMD and i5 :) My proposed AMD setup would have cost me only a pound less than the i5 setup, and all I was losing out on was proper Crossfire support.

Also, SuperPi is more Intel orientated so Intel chips will always destroy AMD on that. It's only really any good for comparing Intel chips with other Intel chips.
 
Heads up Muel, its your turn to beat him! Get the thing outside its cold out :)
Haha, it's on now! :D C2 Vs C3, which will prevail...

I don't mind not having crossfire, I'm a fan of single cards really anyway, and the thing that really swung it for me was I just fancied an AMD, never had one before so thought I'd go for it! :P

lol you cant base a sole purchase on super pi though :D

Yeah :p It's only useful for comparing Intel with Intel as apparently it's 'written' for the intel architecture :)

Yeah I was very close to going with an AMD P2 setup as I've not had AMD since my first computer which was a 500mhz AMD K62, but then I was persuaded by a few people to go i5 instead :)
 
Every CPU i had was AMD from 800 all the way to 3.something. There a good old work horse.The only reason i went with this intel is i had a few £££ spare and thought i would go with something new/dif.TBH and this is only me so please i dont want to start a war. I would not go back.Games/DVDs day to day i can tell the dif.I was the guy saying "O yes my AMD is the same as a 3.9intel" but hand on heart it wasnt,AMD was good but nothing like intel. My next CPU will be intel do danger at all of that.

O i have had intel before but only a duel P3.It still runs as my web server.


I have said intel a lot. cant be arsed redoing it you get the idea. (it is 00.52 on a fri night cut me some slack)

Your 920 would beat it at stock Easyrider.
Dissable HT and run it again, i think you'll find the scores much closer then.

Having said that, none of bought into the x58 just so that we then dissabled HT ;)

Edit: It looks like last nights promissed update in the results thread failed to materialise.

I reckon if you disable HT then the score will be way down on the AMD if your 920 is at stock

If it wasn't for HT my q9650 would be top of the tree but having 8 threads vs 4 threads in the chess I have no chance.
 
Phenom 2s never fare well in benchmarks really, but in real world tests they stack up pretty well, like in big file transfers or gaming, or anything really CPU intensive that is encoding based. :P
 
No I think this would be faster with HT off

Really? Post a result with your 920 at 4.6 and HT off then and show me you get a higher score in Fritz chess. If people get higher scores with HT off then why do they run the benchmark with it on?

I'm intrigued as I always thought that was why i7's scored higher than my q9650 as in superpi I can almost match an i7 (with my higher overclock) but my chess score is always way down.

So you are saying a Q9650 @ 4.6ghz is faster than an i7 920@ 4.6ghz HT off in chess?

Thats I would like to see.

No. I'm saying my 4.9ghz q9650 might be faster with 4 cores only ;)

So would you like to do a non HT run?

I;m more interested to see at the same clocks though, how much of a difference there is between the q9650, i7 and amd 4 core processors.

The i7's with HT on will always outperform the other two.

I am pretty sure at the same clock, the i7 will still win with 4 cores but would love to see the difference.

LOL make your mind up.:p

It's not easyriders anyway, he's showing you NAM_killer's if you look in his quote. :)

Will be interesting though.:cool:

[Waits for NAM_killer to post the results]

Would be a good comparison although it would probably have to be done at 4ghz if you want the amd chips to play, not seen any extreme cooled amd's on ocuk.

Tried my i7 at 4ghz with HT disabled. 4.6ghz is a no go on my basic air cooling.:D

14732 with HT enabled, result posted in the separate results page.

Reserving my spot, will join in with my laptop for the crack of it :D

Edit:
Here we go. My laptop doesnt actually seem to have done that badly :)
Shame this model doesnt support overclocking like my M17 did, I used to have this chip running faster than 3.06Ghz.
