6700K @ 4.5 GHz: 809
Original post of 605 on 3/9/2010 to 809 above...what a pathetic [unofficial] 34% increase over 5.5 years!
Less than Apple did with their last jump from A7 to A8. I'm amazed it is really this bad because I figured intel might have done 50% in the last 5 years. Doesn't appear they've done anything except update codecs and add a few new features.
Cue parade of busybodies to tell us why 34% is actually amazing and totally awesome and we should all be writing thank you letters to intel for being so generous.
Busybody #1 checking in.
34% is actually pretty good when you consider clockspeed has basically been stalled so this gain has come primarily from architectural changes and has occurred while decreasing the thermal envelope.
Also CPUmark99 doesn't take multicores, hyperthreading, and access outside of L1 into account, as well as many new instructions used by modern software.
So yeah, taking all of that into account and the fact that all of the "low hanging fruit" architectural improvements were picked years ago this is pretty good. Not amazing though.

LTC8K6, your old i3-2130 scored 544 today when I ran this..
What the heck might as well submit my current high score for prosperity sake.
Was surprised it even booted windows fully enabled to be honest. Guess I'll pluck the number 1 spot in the not so distant future
Whoa! 1.35V for 5GHz. Impressive! Nice job and nice chip.
