Just trying to see how these new Intel CPU's fair against the old ones in terms of CPU powa.

Please post your SuperPi 1M calculation result. But it has to be non-overclocked. No overclock on CPU, no overclock on memory or FSB, just stock setting. It can be either your custom built rig or already-built system from stores like the HP or Dell.. and please post your computer information such as vendor name, rated CPU speed, motherboard (if custom-built), and memory.


If AMD CPU users want to jump in, you're welcome to post your result too.

Thanks a swimming pool..

10.274s @ stock on 3570k and DDR3 1600 9-9-9-24. Stock turbo bins are 3.8/3.8/3.7/3.6ghz for 1c/2c/3c/4core.

7.971s on that same chip @ 4.7ghz.

Hot damn... Intel chips have come a long way.... that's fast.


Any i5 owners out there with stock setting? please post away...

Thing is.... is SuperPI score relevant?
Does its "score" reflect acurately on modern day work loads?

If you took it's score (between 2 cpu's) and then compaired same (2 cpu's) in a modern workload, would the results be the same, across both (superpi & the new workload)?

The answear is no, I think.

Its like compaireing the 7970 and 680, useing 3Dmark 01.
It makes little sense at this point, because the benchmark is so dated it doesnt reflect on modern workloads.

I never said SuperPi bench is the real-world application that people use everyday, however the result of the SuperPi often reflect what you'll likely get on real world apps. It's CPU-intensive, not so much on memory. I was just asking for SuperPi bench to get an idea of the CPU power as this is what I have been running with various CPU's I have owned in the past and with different clock settings. Hexus Pifast is another program I used to run.

Dated benchmarks that aren't optimized for current feature sets give you an idea of the improved raw performance of the cpu.

Using modern optimized benchmarks would make the gap between old and new generations of chips pretty huge depending on what's being tested.

Actually I think it still is. There is still a lot of singlethreaded software out there, games too (mostly rts). I figure a lot of people use iTunes for encoding and it uses only 1 thread (yes it's retarded but that's another issue).
