I refer to the Passmark baselines often. To do Advanced Searches you need to install
Passmark Performance Test (new version 9.0 in a month or so).
Thank you for a thorough reply, I actually have a paid V8 of Performance monitor. I guess I didn't spend enough time figuring out the user interface, so I didn't know I could do that.
I also am aware of the online results and use it frequently. Unfortunately I can't get the same data there as what you indicate I can get from the desktop application.
I will look into it a bit more. Thanks for your help.
Karsten75,
To get the same parameters' data as mentioned use the
CPU Mega Chart as this shows the average CPU rating, plus, single, threaded results, cost, power rating and a cost/performance parameter "Single Thread Value". The highest single-thread rating is the $350 i7-4790K 4-core at 2528 while than a Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 at $3645 has a single thread rating of 1924 so it's easy to see the comparable value to the use- the i7 will much better for gaming than the Xeon costing 10X as much, but the calculation rating of 22197 of the Xeon mean it will better at computation.that the i7 at 11204. It's also possible to see in the chart when sorted by single-threaded rating that for 3D CAD, a Xeon E5-1620 has about the same single-threaded performance as the E5-2698 v3. That is a $70 CPU on Ebay US, but then so is an E5-2670 8-core, so the core count and single-thread score of 1709 becomes the deciding factor. But, Passmark is providing all the information necessary.
If the CPU is dual configuration Xeon such as the E5-2670, it's necessary to go the searchable
CPU Benchmarks page and the search will indicate the dual CPU list results for the target CPU.
So, a bit fussy, but the CPU information in combination with system baselines with motherboard and drive combinations allows thorough good cost /performance analysis.
Passmark is perfect except that the baselines don't indicate the drives connected in RAID configurations, only the type of RAID or the RAID controller is listed. Passmark says they have no way to detect the drives and are not keen on having the users list them.
Cheers,
