Noobs: CPU Performance Charts are Updated!

Noobs: before you go asking questions like, "is a E6600 better than a Athlon X2 5000+ for gaming?" USE THE CPU CHARTS. They have been updated to include the latest CPU's from AMD & Intel. You can compare each model of processor from AMD and Intel head to head in games, applications, encoding, etc.

USE THEM!

It doesn't include the 80286.
Is the E6800 faster than my Z80?
Which will give me the best FPS in Zork, or do I need a new GPU?

Hopefully this will eliminate n00b questions.

I think that will eliminate 90% of the threads....Then what?

LOL. Umm... I don't think you need a GPU. ;-)

No more n00bs trolling the forums...I hate when they post a question, and the same DAMN question is asked 2 or 3 threads down. They don't think to look.

Yes... that is perhaps the most annoying thing noobs do. I was in memory forums yesterday and there were TWO identical threads stacked on top of each other asking the same question about dual channel mode. The one on top was brand new and the one below had about 4-5 replies with correct answers. Pissed me off...

Does anyone know where I can find some kind of CPU Performance Chart? You know, like a chart that would show and compare the AMD & Intel CPU's in stuff like games, applications, encoding, etc. :?:

What's a n00b?


:twisted:

the UK site appears to have the article but the performance chart has not been updated.. .

Its bloody annoying actually to be redirected to the UK site as its worse than tomshardware.com as well.

So the only way I can see the new charts is getting to it through www.vpntunnel.net or something.

And the charts aren't just for noobs :roll:

What's a CPU? Can I plug my CPU into a USB port?

 

[mpjesse]

I didn't say they were for noobs. I use them all the time. What I'm saying (and you'd KNOW this if you had more than 2 posts) is all the noobs come in the CPU section and ask stupid questions like "uhhhhh... is the E6700 faster than the X2 4600?" If they bothered to USE the tools available to them, they wouldn't flood the forums with stupid repetitive and questions that have been answered 800 times. And then the threads inevitably turn into an AMD vs Intel flame session anyways.

But I do agree, it's lame that u can't access the US version of the charts. Or that the UK charts aren't updated. Sorry 'bout that. ;-)

Hey...where's the PowerPC processors?

 

[mpjesse]

The Cyrix 6x86 processors are missing too!

Point understood, its just the title implies only noobs would be interested.

And I'm not really experienced to comment anyway :?

:lol: Thank you! :lol:

They're going to be pretty long now (they were already a lot)

OK why does a core 2 EX6800, have a MultiMedia Floating Point score of 5874it/s , this is the same as a Duron 600MHz.

it should be closer to 80000-90000 it/s, all the scores are messed up.

its not just that page, whats going on with Arithmetic MFLOPS, it looks like a blind man and his dog put it together. The values are all over the place and you can hardly see the bars, making it difficult to read off the values.

Kewlio... though, I still think people will ask. :lol:

 

[mpjesse]

oh i see. the thread is for the noobs, not necessarily the CPU charts.

I'm just trying to get the noobs to use these tools. Tired of seeing the same posts every day. ;-)

 

[m25]

and what about the messed up names; we have Semprons being called Athlon64s...

 

[Grimmy]

Thinking about it, why don't a moderator just make a sticky for that link, and lock it?

 

[a-wolfgang]

What you mean like all two of them, thats not as bad as getting the entire numbering system wrong.

But fare point though, not that any one really care about the Semperons, they are just there for a reference i surpose.

Try looking in the Vital Information Necessary CENTralized (VINCENT) data book. Writen by Oolon Colluphid as an addendum to his highly popular, "Who is this God Person Anyway?"

[illuminatirex]

thx i was wondering when new charts will be up, hm...now i have to c what my "ordered" e6600 willl beat lol

 

[Weeble]

Cool a noob chart, now I can rate myself against other noob's!

Mm..now I look around I am starting to wonder if I was a paper launch...


Useful stuff in reality..hopefully we in the UK can see it linked directly shortly (clearly we UK noobs need a special shiny version of the chart, with lots of pictures of cups of tea, beefeaters, the Queen and jolly people saying 'OI GUVNOR THIS 'ERE'S A LUVVERLY CPU!' hence the update delay).
