i think that if cpu-z screenie is needed it should be obligatory either way i dunno what are those rules for

why cpu is needed? lol

in pure cpu-z benchie the validation is needed

it may be your hw prob do u have oc'ed platform? if not maybe some of your fans is broken

n i c e

yo

he he he

and new one for... nothing

everything can be seen like that

could do the same thing u said using million threads

ok looking at your logic i see u aint understand what is "weight" in scoring like in 3dmark until u understand that im not going to discuss anything with ya

yeah thats the point compare 1 core vs 1 and 2 vs 2 and 4 vs 4 but u cant compare 1vs2 or 2vs4 thats not what benchmarking application should do

definetly that grey one is not ok

i have a solution which isnt perfect but... lets say that now u have max 4 cores make universal wprime with 8 or more threads, for example 16 or 32, threads then for future cpus after introducing more cores there can be new version of w prime made that will be for those new cpus... but changing version isnt good so its better to make one version with many threads like 32 or 64 this will work for quite a time i guess and still preffer multi core cpus over those with less cores maybe word "cheat" isnt adequate to the situation... but still changing settings to best suit benched hardware is at least doubious for benching application

i dont like my attitude either just wanted to point that in my opinion a benchmark should be a benchmark for every component providing the same conditions i guess its why its named benchmark and if other settings are used for different hardware i guess a word "benchmark" loses its meaning and btw u wanted a proof and i gave it to u what u want more?

if from 8400gs by changing bios u have 8500gt shouldnt u post result in 8500gt? coz u have 8500gt by that

but it adjusts number of threads to cores are there user applications which do this?

u missed one point... im not against it because of multithreading (pls read more with understanding) but because of Threading Our aim was to make a perfectly threaded benchmark, such that it would consistantly use 100% of the CPU while in use. This is achieved by using CPUz to detect the CPU count and use exactly that many processing threads to avoid any performance losses due to multiple threads running on any single physical thread. Each thread is designed to do 1/n of the work, where n is the number of threads. For example, if you're calculating 16 roots on 4 CPU's, each CPU will calculate 4 roots. Some might argue that this style of threading is unrealistic in real-time performance, but in fact is quite indicative of performance in several real world tasks such as F@H which allows you to run several instances of the work at any one time. i dont like repeating myself man pls stop answering if u dont know what is discussion about

why?

as from http://www.wprime.net/ Threading Our aim was to make a perfectly threaded benchmark, such that it would consistantly use 100% of the CPU while in use.

imagine that 3dmark adjusts its settings to the gpu u use to give the best possible score... everyone would say cheating... wprime does the same and it is valid hwbot benchmark. why? shouldnt benchmark give everyone same settings? i vote ban for wprime

wprime cheats

really? i dunno this benchmark but i doubt it is optimised for 8 cores

yeah if we sorted benchmarks in categories it definetly would be handful but... it hasnt verification feature has it? if not we shouldnt hesitate to add it

cine tells that 4 cores are better than 2 coz its optimized for 4 cores and can use them but the truth behind is that most applications, games and so on aren't optimized and pifast and others would tell u what u really get for money spent on cpu and what is real life difference between 4 cores and 2 cores for example and the sad truth is that for common user 2 cores are best choice and pifast and others show that and if only looking at cine one could make decision bout buing 4 cores which would be wast for him by not using them
