The Official i7 Benchmarking Thread

[raybob95]

This topic is for people to post benchmarks of their i7 in select applications, so that anybody considering an i7 (Or HT'd i5) can get an idea of how it may benefit them in the real world.

I'll start:

Here's a benchmark from Grand Theft Auto IV. As you can see, without HT, it uses way more CPU and goes slightly slower. (Example of Phenom X4/ Core 2 Quad) The difference in RAM usage is simply that without HT, it was just after a fresh boot, with HT it was after the PC being on for 48 hours, so forget that factor.

Yeh, GTA4 is a ridiculously bad console port...

i7 920 @ stock, HT enabled
CPU usage is ~40%
Memory Usage is ~66% (4GB out of 6GB total)
Video Card RAM Usage (4870 1GB) is ~100%

My 1M time for SuperPI (keep in mind that it uses 1 core out of 4) was 11 seconds.

What makes this one the official one? You show credentials!

Because nobody else has posted one and mainly because I said so.

I'd say there's at least two dozen so far.
