How long does your PC take to SuperPI 1M !!!!!!

Does a twice as fast SuperPi time equate to twice as fast real world performance though?

Pi doesnt relate to anything directly except the calculation of pi to a billion decimals. In truth this test is where the greatest advantage over the previous generation can be shown. Real world performance increase varies from zero upto this point, I cant see it being exceeded.

Anandtech.com did a good test of conroe vs the world, across various apps
 
And my E6600 overclocked to 3ghz...

17seconds. :)

Ram is Gskill pc6400 NR 2gig at 5/5/5/15.

Riiiiiiigghhht...

Yeah that's going to be because they typically use ECC RAM in Precision workstation and because of the older P4 cores used in the 50xx series Xeons. (The 50xx series Xeons are not Core architecture based... :( )

4632mhz!! omg now thats a good overclock! for only £220! NICE

im lookin at get a conroe and can get them half price but i mean whats the point in getting the 6700 or the EE when the 6600 can go that high?!

Add another £500 for a phase change unit and most if not all c2d will exceed 4 gig.

Dry Ice cooled though, so its not a 24/7 achievable overclock (well might well be under phase, still havent had chance to strap the Mach to it yet)
The only real advantage the EE or 6700 would give is more flexibility multi wise. Means you don't really need a board capable of pull insane FSB's to get decent clocks from a CPU.

Most of the newer stepping chips seem to hit 4ghz pi 1m stable with ~ 1.6v under good air/water. Some of the lucky ones have hit beyond 4ghz with around the same vcore.

simple answer, no, not even close, which leads me to believe superpi is a rather pointless benchmark since it seems to make no difference real world whether you have a K8 doing it in 30 seconds or a conroe doing it in 15, in games there still heavily limited by GPU and encoding, i don't care i don't encode, but hell who cares about conroe in that, my mates smithfield beats my venice in encoding by a mile, studio max, noticed no difference at all, biggest difference in games and rendering is superior graphics rather than some processor that does something twice as fast as another, so IMO graphics the most limiting part to the modern computer. and to answer the question 31 seconds for me ;)

and finally, conroe is gonna sky performance when R600 and G80 arrive, finally IMO conroe will be worthy upgrade since GPU will not be limiting performance so much

Not very good i'm looking foward to getting my ram delivered soon so i can try out my conroe rig :mad:
 
A positively tortoise-like 52 seconds :(
Athlon 64 3400 (s754)
Abit K8NE-Delux
1.5Gb generic DDR333

I get the feeling this is slower than it should be...?
