I added another. Can I have another cookie?

Oh yeah. Moar cores and all that.

Oops, forgot processor groups. Have to run two concurrently. Rest assured that these are both active (as you can see by the task manager). I guess add the two together if you want the real answer.

How to run Pov-Ray

Open Pov-Ray, then klick the "Open" button and locate the Balcony.pov and Klick open.

Then change the resolution to 1920x1080 AA 0.3 and klick Run. When the image has been rendered close the image and take a screen or post the pps and time located at the bottom of the program window.

I only ran cinebench, what do I win? It also doesn't detect properly, but I guess 16/32 is enough for this.

edit: ran another. Am I doing this right? ;) Neither benchmark appears to function exactly correctly on this computer.... Hmm... They scale poorly. Ok, and the cinebench was an old screeny from quite a while ago that I took. I didn't actually run it tonight. Just the 7-zip.

Seriously? You beat me to this.

You just made my nehalem-ex boxes sad. Shame on you.

Westmere-EX servers incoming :awe:

What we need is for one of those silent SR-2 owners to come in here and show us how its done on the desktop :)

That 7-zip you quoted is about half.... >64 "cores" so it gets split in to processor groups so I had to run two, see the second picture.

The cinebench is all kinds of wrong, but I can't be arsed to reinstall it.

Thanks for this tip I wasn't sure which benchmark I should be using and what res when I first opened the app.

:) Good times!

Compared to the "big" servers a decade ago, x86 servers sure have grown up.

Hmmm... with some cables, I could bond three of my (servers I am responsible for managing, naturally) servers together for one 96/192 thread Core Nehalem-EX box for the e-peen wars... not worth it ;) IBM makes some cool tech like that though, not sure who bothers with it...

You don't want that battle. I have 96 12C/24t 3.33Ghz Westmere systems that aren't currently production ;) 1152c/2304t@3.33Ghz :p 9TB ram total.

I didn't add that yet because his screenshot didn't have it listed by run at the top.

And with 3.4.5 bunched up in that screenshot how am I to know which one it is?

He did post the score after but I had already created the graph will update.

But when I looked at a few of the scores it looks like someone people may not have run some of the benchmarks properly example some of the Pov ray numbers are all over the place.

Nice work Makaveli :thumbsup:

Ill post my Core i7 920 @ 4GHz results later on
