Current wPrime 1024M World Record

[dinos22]

I am writing about the current wPrime 1024M World Record. The time seems unusually fast for the clocks reported in submission

 

is it possible to get some more information from this score as there seems to be a huge difference between their scores and everyone elses

 

top score previous to this submission was held by kingpin with CPUs at 5.6GHz dual QX9775 skulltrail. Vince's time was 1m52s

 

current world record is held by leghorn and giorgoprimo with a 1m50s but at 4GHz on CPUs :eek::eek:

 

third fastest time with skulltrail is followed by youngpro at 5.33GHz on CPUs with a time of 2m01s

 

is there something i'm missing here. I know that at least in youngpros case he used Vista which is a lot faster at wprime than XP so his results should be right

 

did giorgoprimo and leghorn accidentally list the wrong CPUs or speeds or something. This is really odd.

 

i am obviously not saying there is any fowl play as i respect these two guys a lot but rather its either some monster tweak or some kind of mistake in submission . Decent speed skulltrail times seem to be in the 2m30s+ time zone

 

personally i've benchmarked on skulltrail on air at 4.4GHz with 2m21s time

looks like a found the answer

i think they benched at 5.5GHz but accidentally submitted a slower CPU speed in the 1024M score :ws:

Thanks for the heads up, Dino! I've edited the frequency

The 1024 was benched @ 5460 ...

 

dunno why the submission got the wrong clock

[Chiller]

i get that sometimes to, a wrong Mhz clock, yust adjust it, and no problem.

 

have fun benching you all

Actually NOW it is wrong. dafridgie works for Intel and he used 4x X7460's they are the new 6 core server chips, so he's running 24 cores.!! If you look at the wprime window you can see the real speed, also check the task manager.

 

Here's the thread on it...
