Posted May 17, 200817 yr theres nothing to say about i think everybody knows this benchmark and its easy to use
May 17, 200817 yr question is if we need more benchmarks... answer is rather not... we have 3dmarks for graphics we have aqua for overall we have pifast wprime super pi for cpus what would give us cine? maybe good for 4 cores... in future we should move to benchmarks that will be in this 3 categories mentioned above graphics, overall, cpu and in every category there should be less benchmarks possible (only those which best fit in every category and are best validable and so on) thats my humble opinion
May 17, 200817 yr Author am3 is quite old i think its no objective allround benchmark ... and it's not multithreaded cinebench is the best cpu bench in my opinion prime and pi calculators tests only fpu but not the whole processor
May 18, 200817 yr 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
May 18, 200817 yr 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
May 18, 200817 yr cine tells that 4 cores are better than 2 coz its optimized for 4 cores Works even better with 8
May 18, 200817 yr Works even better with 8 really? i dunno this benchmark but i doubt it is optimised for 8 cores
May 18, 200817 yr Like Wprime it's pure SMP, uses what cores are available and uses it. Just like NuclearMC, another great SMP benchmark.
May 18, 200817 yr Like Wprime it's pure SMP, uses what cores are available and uses it. Just like NuclearMC, another great SMP benchmark. wprime cheats
May 19, 200817 yr No it doesn't, it uses what's available. could do the same thing u said using million threads
May 19, 200817 yr could do the same thing u said using million threads ...and why not make it 10^24 threads while we're at it? More (useless) threads = better? I don't think so. Using as few threads as possible, combined with as much performance as possible is what's the best. It's not like wprime tweaks your subtimings and has a built-in copywaza, or something.
