Experimental AMD Processor Comparison

First off, this list is an experiment.
I currently DO NOT recommend you use it to decide on what parts to build your computer with.

This is an experiment to see if I can map a mathematical equation to the performance of processors. I've updated the equation to take into account the different memory speeds during benchmarking. The data I used to make the equation is from the benchmark 'WinRAR - Version 3.6 BETA 4' on the CPU comparison charts on Tom's Hardware.

This is the current equation that is used to calculate the estimated time for the benchmark:
Time = 441.4 - L2*0.2567 + L2^2*0.0001555 - Cores*77.81 - Freq*0.04785 - Freq^2*0.000001469 + (800MHz)*0.478 - (800MHz)*0.0004355

To calculate the performance index for the processors, I assumed the processors be used with 800MHz RAM. (I know this isn't physically possible on some processors, but it is to find relative performance.)


Please discuss the future possibilities of this type of data extrapolation and any ways you think I could make it better.
Note: The prices and processor information is from Newegg.com.

Thanks for the information about WinRAR being not only CPU dependent. I'll look into more CPU only benchmarks to see if I can get a better regression equation.
