Cinebench 9.5 or 10

[Badrig]

theres nothing to say about

i think everybody knows this benchmark

and its easy to use

[jurek]

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

[Badrig]

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

[jurek]

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

[Badrig]

and because of this fact we need it as new benchmark

[jurek]

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

Works even better with 8

[jurek]

Works even better with 8

 

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

Like Wprime it's pure SMP, uses what cores are available and uses it. Just like NuclearMC, another great SMP benchmark.

wprime cheats

[Badrig]

but it dont tests memory so much

[Dualist]

wprime cheats

 

No it doesn't, it uses what's available.

could do the same thing u said using million threads

[knopflerbruce]

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.
