WEI..... yeah i find it as a poor benchmark. Cant tell yeah how many people complained on forums like these saying why my score is so low....
Main issue is that when it's testing hardware to rate them, for some reason, it most of the time doesn't ramp up the cpu speed from the power save mode (speed step for intel and cool'n'quiet for amd)
In my personal option, dont uses WEI, use something else that is more than likely to put load on the cpu to go to its stock speed at least.

My I5-750 @ 3.2 = 7.5, @ 3.8 only bumps it up 0.1 to 7.6.
King smp = it not linear, it's more logarithmic (Not toally Logarithmic, just closer to).
I agree WEI is a poor Benchmark, But it is a good indicator if something is amiss.
CPU is more probmatic as warmon6 indacated the CPU may not be ramping up and stayin @ a lower multiplier. Many here have OCed and set the CPU to a set Freq - windows has little say in that case.
On memory, a low score is a good indication that the mem freq is low, don't think CL play a big role here.
HDDs - a low wei is a good indication that something is not right, ie in IDE mode vs AHCI, or the the driver is incorrect.
So while it may not be a good benchmark, I find it useful - just know its limitations

WEI is messed up my stock i72600k get *** 7.9 when its overvlocked to 4.8 its gets *** 7.2 lol
Im sorry. It just thats the first time i've heard an overclock cpu getting *** lower score than *** stock cpu. Now my faith in WEI is just *** little bit lower
(ok..... what in the world going on with the letter (ignore the kkk's) "kkka"?)

Meh. 7.9 means nothign as this thread has shown.
OP, the WEI is not very important. Microsoft designed it to set it so people wouldn't be able to play games unless they met the score needed for the game but that dream went out the window with GFW.
So don't worry about it. As you saw one guy got 7.9 on a stock 2600K and when he overclcoked it to 4.8GHz, it gave him 7.2.

Mine got a 7.9 when I inadvertently OC'd it to 4.4ghz but 7.6 does seem to be about average but as others have said it doesn't mean a great deal.

Then go and read something else, no one is forcing you to come back to this thread.Sorry if you thought i was rude.
However the explanations should be enough for the OP about why WEI is as it is.The program was never used to test higher than 6 base score because they didnt want to spend money on making a better benchmarking system.

Base scores of 6.0 and higher are not defined yet. They will be defined when the time comes and new innovations in hardware allow new capabilities. From past experience, it is expected this will happen at a rate of once every 12-18 months.

In Win7 the score goes up to 7.9 by design
Vista only went up to 5.9
the point is WEI is a horrible benchmark
I wouldnt be surprised if M$ removes it in Win8
Use Cinebench, 3Dmark etc but not WEI
by the way when was the last time the OP posted?
they originally posted 5/13 and never
bothered to come back LOL

Another issue with the WEI is that, because it runs only once and while you are not actually using the PC, it doesn't provide a meaningful measurement of the performance capabilities of your system over time. (Instead, you can use the hugely useful Reliability Monitor--see my Windows Vista Feature Focus for more information).
Put simply, WEI does not measure the overall performance of your PC. It only measures the relative performance of the individual hardware components in the PC.

Question:Just looking for a reason to explain this to someone. I upgraded a friends computer today, from an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ to an AMD Phenom 9850 Quad Core and their score in the Windows Experience index for CPU went from a 6.2 to a 5.8, and it kind of confuses me as well. Shouldn't an upgrade cause something to go up and not down?
When I went from a dual core to a quad core my score went up, so what would cause it to go down like that? I haven't tried overclocking their CPU yet (it's the Black Edition so I can work with that) but will that bring the CPU score back up?
Quote:
I'd guess it's a problem with the Windows Experience Index algorithm. I don't see how it could accurately represent the computational power of a computer in a one-dimensional index (with degrees of only hundredths too), not with all the variables to consider. Try some kind of trusted benchmark tool. The conspiracy theorist in me says that WEI is nothing more than a tool to sucker in people with more money than knowledge.Quote:
Unfortunately, the windows experience index is not 'bandwidth' related. It's specification related.It doesn't actually read your processor as being a quad core. It views it as being a 2.5Ghz CPU, whereas your 6400+ is a 3.2Ghz ?
Hence the drop in score.

The true measure of a machine is not how many yottaHertz (1,000,000,000,000,000 GHz or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hz) it runs at but simply this: It does the job it was bought for.

It never meant to show an all round score.

In fact, 7.9 doesn't either. My Q6600 Q 3GHz gets 7.3. Those 0.1s must be worth a lot considering that in most applications a 2600K would clobber my Q6600 by more than 50%.

I just went from an i5-2500k at 7.5 to an i7-2600k at 7.6 (both at stock speeds). Just paid $70 for the upgrade to get a 0.1 WEI score
Well, I didn't do it for the WEI score. I'll be using my PC for more CPU-Intensive applications and games.
I'm using this with an MSI P67 motherboard, 16GB of G.Skill Sniper DDR3 1600, GTX460, and OCZ Vertex 3 120GB + WD Caviar Black 1TB. Sometimes the other components can affect your WEI CPU score.
