My guess is that your board may have a minor I/O advantage unrelated to FSB (maybe?), a tiny clock-speed advantage, or they may have had a background app or something loaded that's taking power away from their CPUs.

We may also have some folks in here claiming 3.2 ghz when they have 3150 mhz or something like that . . . yours is 3190 for what it's worth *P

without all the machines in front of you for testing, it's hard to say.

upped my multiplier from 11 to 13 (3.47ghz) and scored 9615, fairly linear increase in relation to clockspeed.. (was 8212 @ 2.93ghz)

Is this the advantage of a higher FSB or does the benchmark favor a higher FSB?


My E6400 at 3.2 is a little faster than yours at 8941.

Perhaps it's memory timings? Mine are relatively tight at 4-4-4-12

dont think a E6300 could be faster then a E6600, unless it had a big clock increase.

I got 10199 on a E6600. So far the only person to beat me was the QX.

Thought I would share this CPU benchmark I came across if anyone is interested. I hosted the file so it is clean.

Here is a snapshot

E4300 @ 3050mhz
7413 marks
OK, How do I open a rar file in windows ? Isn;t that a Linux thing ?

Use WinRAR
7zip also handles RAR files. That's what I used.

E6400 @ 3400mhz = 9025

What's strange for me is that OP's 3057mhz E4300 got 8606Mb/sec L2 Speed while mine has 34851Mb/s. This can't be right.

In addition, under FPU Speed for Mandelbrot's fractal OP got 186 and my system is getting 2659. Something is very odd about such large variations in performance.

Gonna try for 3.8

WOW, you beat the quad core.


Good job!

3367 @2.3ghz opteron 146(2ghz stock) first run
3468 marks the second run. All hail single core king! I'm gona try to oc to 2.45 :)

* new results (all on stock volts/stock fan)
3682 @2.45
3757 @ 2.5

Can any single cores beat this? :)

Hey! :Q I posted my quad e-penis score above...15,737 for a QX6700 @ 3.73GHz

Don't be so quick to take away my trophy :p

LOL...
My QX6700 doesn't want to do 3.8 so your high-score is still high.:thumbsup:

Of course it can't at stock, but that's not what we're comparing.

AHAHAHAHHAHA im sorry.... i thought he was going to pull 3.8.

My bad, idontcare still wins.

E6400@3.6GHz (450*8)
2GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400C4D @ 900 4-4-4-4

Score: 9874

Going to whip out the Room A/C to hit the MAX OC @ 3.733GHz. Maybe it'll break the 10K Mark.

EDITED BECAUSE I COULDN'T DO MATH.

Awesome! My work PC's 1.8Ghz E4300 is exactly half that clockspeed, and it's 4800 score is almost exactly scaled to your 2x clock speed.

Conclusion : C2D architecture scales *VERY* well .. I wonder when the point of diminishing returns would hit these chips?
