Has there ever been a CPU to deliver more than 2FPs on the 3D06 CPU benchmark?

[Fry750]

Hello all

As title, I only ever see people that have got 1-2fps on the CPU bench on 3D06, has there ever been or will there ever be a CPU that can deliver 24FPS? And what is that test benchmarking on the CPU?

Thanks

It really doesn't matter as nobody will use their CPU alone to deliver graphics. But yes, one day we will all have CPUs capable of 24fps, but by then we'll have 3dmark 2013 and the cpu test will put it back to 2fps.

I'm sure some of the faster quads must get 3+ fps, as my 3.1 duo gets 2fps..

But yeah, it's nothing to worry about - it isn't designed to be playable

Do you think perhaps AMD Fusion may be able to up the FPS?

Probally not as 3d06 will use the cpu even though thier both on the same die.

Fps are capped at 2fps so its not possbile to get more.

i suppose it would be possible if the instruction sets for 3D calculations and full screen effects + multiple shader cores were all included on the one dye.

say 1nm tech arrives, i can quite easily see a very large amount of cores to deal with various things, including graphics.

imagine, a 1nm CPU with 8 General cores + 2 Graphic cores + 8 AA only cores +173 universal Shader cores, aswell as 256MB shared cache + 1 core to rule them all...

a 192 core CPU

2.594fps with a QX6700 @ 4980MHz is the record for the first CPU test according to the 3DMark ORB site (not counting pre-release chips).

My Q6600 @ 3725mhz gets 1.93fps.

I see, cheers lads

Mine gets over 2 in the second CPU test:

CPU Tests
CPU1 - Red Valley 1.94 FPS
CPU2 - Red Valley 2.763 FPS

Get more than 2 with my quad @ 3.6, its definetly not capped at 2 as someone said.

What exactly is the processor processing during the 3dmark cpu test anyway? I was thinking it could be physics but there's hardly anything going on.

Does it just run a background test and show the 2fps movie just to show that it's doing something?

Please note that I know NOTHING about 3d mark bar using it as a bench mark so forgive me if I'm being stupid

This score is over 2fps.

And thats with two quad cored CPUs.

its rendering the scene you see, but without any help from the GPU, which is more efficient at rendering frames

Intel have already created an 80 core cpu on 65nm so they'll probably be able to fit more cores than that on it.

try 4 quad core xeons and i am sure you will get more than 2fps

Azza (look up?) did it with Two Quad Xeons and got under 4. i doubt that another two will make much difference.

The cpu test isnt really that great. Its rendering the scene which a cpu would never do. A better test would to do with physics or AI.

 

[Cupra]

i thought the cpu test was single core, maybe i was wrong

Its a pretty pointless test for gaming performance. Probably put in there to keep PC enthusiasts happy when they upgrade their CPU.
