REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

Taken from a sharkey xtreme review Jan 2007

WinRAR is another benchmark test that helps show off the real-world improvements when using a quad core processor. The Core 2 models hold a decided advantage here and the Core 2 quad core processors are the overall leaders. The Core 2 Quad Q6600 certainly holds it own, and even though it obviously can't match the performance of its 2.66 GHz counterpart, the Q6600 is still noticeably faster than the 2.93 GHz Core 2 Extreme X6800.

Try this simple winrar bench test it takes about 50 secs maybe less to complete


lets see your results

download here

Click on Tools then select benchmark and hardware test

These benches are done with Ocz PLatinum Rev2 Pc2 6400 @ 800mhz E6400 at 3.2Ghz

I re-install occassionally for some silly reason but this is the best to date

I really excelled here LOL

Upgraded my memory recently to Crucial Ballistics PC8000 running at 1000Mhz and got my score upto 1556 with a clean install.

OPteron 165 is dual core after all the Winrar benchmark is very memory bandwidth and latency dependant slack timming and low memory bandwidth mean low score AFAIK

 

[Jleo]

Mine just keps on going for some reason.

Resulting KB/s should stop and be Bolded/highlighted, make sure nothing cpu intensive is running while the benchmark is running, I'm sure you knew that anyway

 

[Jleo]

Your result doesn't seem to add up at all if your CPU is @ 3.2ghz

I get 1,511 with 3.7ghz

Townlea what are your memory timmings in cpuz? did you leave them on auto in the bios or add them manually?

 

[Jleo]

A single thread on an X2 can eat the conroe on this ... how come?

Com'on put your dukes up LOL

Put up your dukes

@eracer2006

That is very low for your spec, run cpuz and check the memory tab. Check what your fsb ratio and timmings are.

Download Cpuz 1.39

It never stops

she started it and 5 mins later I asked if it had finished, she said no.

So I said, pause it and give me a score.

Weird.. >_<

The Winrar benchmark doesn't give any indication that its finished other than high-lighting a maximum MB/s throughput figure, she may have been looking for a finished indicator which Winrar doensn't display

@MoodyB

I don't see that odd tbh, 2t slows ram down (2 x time intervals to do the work 1t does)

 

[Jleo]

2009

Fresh install of XP and I get about 200 more than previous at sig spec.

Best so far?

 

[Jleo]

Yer, good score, nearly as good as mine

RobH thanks for the results table, very nice

JeffyB the Crucial Tenth Anniversary 3-3-3-10 is kickin' some serious ass for you !

 

[Jleo]

Nice jbloggs, your new mem is doing GRRRREAT

 

[Jleo]

Wow ^^ pushes and a quad core goes into 3rd place nice I want some tight sticks lol Memory Stick Martial Art Classes anyone?

Nice score on the Q6600 into 2nd place.

 

[Jleo]

Just an update. I swapped to a Q6600 an 2GB of cheap Crucial Ballistix PC5300 (667Mhz 3,3,3,8) ram. I have upped the Q6600 to 3Ghz and have the ram running at PC8000 (1000Mhz) with 4-4-4-12 timings, 2.3V Same ram that is on special this week. 24 passes memtest stable last night and I have just remoted in to the machine and run the benchmark using Winrar 3.70 b6. Even with the remote session open I am getting 2,253 on the benchmark. Might be higher when running it without the remote load added.

Happy bunny .

Err, esctatic bunny me would be

Your opty is no slouch.

 

[Jleo]

Thanks . Just incase anyone wants picture evidence:

Using this exact ram from OCUK: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-088-CR&tool=3

I am tempted to get another set, but tbh 2GB does for me.
Cheers,

Nick

Awesome score

 

[Jleo]

@Lazyboy nice overclock with 4GB Ram. Good winrar score for 4GB setup. Not many 4GB results at the moment.

 

[Jleo]

I have just upgraded my Ocz platinum Rev 2 pc2 6400 to wait for it.....

Crucial Ballistix Pc2 8000 with alloy(silver) rims

Ocz was @ 800 4-4-4-12

Ballisitix @ 1000 4-3-3-6

so post #1 has been soundly trashed

 

[Jleo]

Nice TiZoR, I can feel the quids in my account straining to be spent on a Quad Core...but...I am strong I shall resist to the next price d.r.o..o..o.o.p...must resist feeling weak...bleedin' daleks always hated them with there cool sink plunger and flashing lights....ahhhh this is insane raving mad, musst resssist....lol

 

[Jleo]

Clean install 1518 Winrar benchmarks

Clean install nice to get over 1500

SCORE 1518

I came across this snippet of information that will help peeps get a better idea how there system compares to other stock setups, and thanks of course to all the peeps who have taken interst in this thread keep tweakin'
