octacore needed to achieve a 7.9 point
or maybe a corei7. Anyone?

I cannot remember my individual scores but my overall score is 5.9 due to my WD 1TB Caviar Black.

However, I did a search online and it seems that an i7-920 gets about 7.4 and a 965 extreme edition can (just) get 7.9 if it is overclocked to 4GHz.

Personally, I think it is dumb to have an upper limit at all.

I also think that the index should work differently... there should be a suite of tests based upon average use of the different components for different purposes. Thus there would be an application index, an internet index, a gaming index and a media playing index (perhaps also a conversion index and a database index) (all of which would assume that 'normal' services are running in the background). As it stands, the index score is basically always the hard disk speed, but for some uses, that is relatively meaningless. I am prepared to bet that my Dell laptop with a Pentium M running at 1.86GHz is way faster on the internet using a wireless hotspot than my i7-920 is using dial-up but that's not what the WEI would show.

Similarly, even if the hard disk is much slower than memory, if the typical use would only involve the hard disk when running the application, the hard disk element of the index may not be the weak link in the performance chain.

Thus, the performance should be based upon multiple tests using representative component loads for the different test type. Each of those should reflect the lowest performance score. However, the overall index should then be the average of those individual test scores.

This would allow meaningful comparisons between computers... if you want a gaming computer, get one with the highest gaming score you can find.

I think if an i7 920 at 3.6 GHz gets less than 7.9, no less than a octacore is necessary to achieve.
my q6600 with a 465 mhz step increase gets from 7.3 to 7.4???
i7 has the best architecture and has HT but did not make much difference.
7.9 need a extra core 1>2>4>5?>>>8

What about the video 3D
1 x gtx 285 6.6????? (1 x 4870 6.8)
285 is higher than 4870

and the hard disk???
7.9 need flash drive are too expensive.
if almost nobody has these flash disks why they (microsoft) set 7.9 for this.
same one has raid0?

There are definatly bugs in this if you only get 6.2 for quadfire, My 4770 gets 6.4

From looking at it, I'm guessing that score is effectively a single 4870 that never came out of idle clocks. I'd guess that crossfire doesn't help the WEI score, and that since it never actually started a fullscreen 3d app, the cards never clocked up to full speed either.

* Windows 7 64 RC 7100
* 3.2 GHz Intel core i7 965EE CPU (overclocked to 4.2 GHz)
* Asus P6T Deluxe Motherboard
* 12 GB Triple Channel DDR3-1600 Patriot Memory (overclocked to 1866)

* 2x Diamond Viper ATI HD4870 X2 video cards in CrossFireX configuration

* 2x Dell 3007WFP 30 inch monitors (2560x1600)
* Combo SATA Blu-ray/HD-DVD burner

I have a theory that Windows 7 RC 7100 and higher caps out the graphics subscore at 6.9 for graphics adapters of today.

Also the graphics subscore doesn't take into account CrossfireX and SLI technology... even with cards with integrated multiple GPUs like the 4870 X2 or the 295 GTX. I can take out my second HD4870X2 card and I still get the 6.9 rating and I can even substitute the one 4870X2 with a plain old HD4870 and still get 6.9.

BTW: I had to do FOUR SSD drives in RAID 0 to get to 7.9:
Two SSD Drives: 7.4
Three SSD Drives: 7.7
Four SSD Drives: 7.9

Also, I couldn't get to 7.9 on the CPU subscore by simply overclocking to 4.0 GHz. I tried upping the core ratio and the bclk and every combination of the two. I would get 7.7 and sometimes 7.8. I finally manged to get to 7.9 by overclocking to 4.2 GHz by reducing the bclk from 134 to 130 and upping the core ratio to 32.

Reducing the bclk actually degraded my memory performace (measured by other performance indicators), but the memory subscore WEI rating remained at 7.9.

Bullcrap.

As the owner of a similar setup to your claim, I can tell you for sure that dual 4870x2 (you can't run 3 of them) only scores in the 6s on graphics, and that hard drive would only score in the high 5s or so - you need an SSD to get into the 7 range. Finally, 16GB? i7 uses tri channel - unless you for some reason only went dual channel on a build that would cost rather a lot, you should have either 6 gigs, 12 gigs, or 24 gigs of RAM.

Oh, and Ernie - you can't get 7.9 at 4.0? That's bizarre - mine will usually test at a 7.9 at 4.0, though on occasion it will test as a 7.8. At 4.2 (a setting that I more recently found as stable), it's 7.9 every single time, without fail.

I saw earnie say something about 6.9 being the cap for graphic cards. I would have to agree, cause Crossfire doesn't even kick in hybrid mode till needed, but it is picked up and shown in the score.

This depends on the version. With 7077, I was easily able to get to 7.9 @ 4.0 GHz, but I had to up it to 4.2 GHz in 7100.

Even now Microsoft is tweaking their WEI rating between versions. All I had to do was update to 7229 to get to 7.6 on my graphics scores...

Edit: I just upgraded to build 7264. Same ratings. CrossfireX still doesn't affect score.

Excuse me but your the one following me around threads. And ummm, I put facts down, not in a nice way, but in no way is it directly trying to harass people. In fact, I usually put opinions down as a joke, or I say it is an opinion. Come on, your that mad about losing the previous debate?

I know what the definition of a hypocrite is, but it takes one to know one. funny how you seem so attached to that word. Also, grow the **** up, people debate facts. Don't get all personal cause your feelings got hurt.

Also, how are you going to sit there and tell me Vista isn't crap when Bill Gates told MS not to release that piece of crap. Look at the video review, he almost denies it's existence. Where has Gates been since Vista? Basically out of the picture since then. I'll be honest, I thought he was just a tadbit crazy for stepping down from his position, but now I realize he just wanted to protect his reputation. He was not in control of how Vista should have been, same goes for WIndows 7, just enough added features and arrangement of interface from MS that people are actually going to buy it. Although, it still doesn't look good that he couldn't control and make the decisions of his own company that he founded, but that's for another debate.

I didn't "lose" any "debate". Your "facts" are merely your opinions. You see, I use Vista on a daily basis. I'm in a much better position to judge whether or not it is "crap" as you so often like to state.

Unless you actually work for MS, your opinion is just mere speculation. Gates's decision to step down was his for his own reasons. Unless he comes out and says otherwise your guess as to why he stepped down is just that.... a guess. Gates's opinion is also just that... his opinion. Not everyone in a company always agree with the direction the company takes.

Bill Gates stepped down because he's getting old, has a bazillion dollars, and decided he didn't want to be involved in running his company any more. No more, no less.

Now, one may question his choice of Ballmer. But that's a different discussion.

This is where you are terribly wrong and don't understand this or you don't read reviews very well. Bill Gates has been a lot more busy lately with conferences then he has ever been. More press, in fact he's getting more involved actively then he was before. At least that's what it appears to be from his increase of press lately. And as for his bazillion dollars or whatever, if he has so much money why did he have to release a press conference on the internet to show he wasn't scared of Google Chrome? Think about it, sure we know that he looks bad already because he didn't have control over the company's decision. It happens... Imagine if he didn't step down, it'd be worse. Stepping down didn't really do anything except protect his reputation (Which is very important I might add in the buisness realm). Considering he is still the founder of the company it really doesn't matter, it just takes the stress off his reputation.

@Zoron

Dude, don't act like a total idiot or people are going to start to think you are that way. It doesn't take a damn genius to figure it out by just browsing the internet and reading reviews. Yes, but he is the founder of the damn company. As a matter of fact I think there was a few reviews that weren't supposed to be on the internet saying that MS booted him out and took over as a company. But nah, you need a MS cert to read reviews on the internet obviously. *sarcasm

No, Sir - Gates was already stepping down long before Vista was released. And being more active, does not mean he's more active with Microsoft. He has his foundation, and a load of projects he's occupying himself with.

And scared of Chrome?? You are the one who's delusional. Since you're using this in the context of a(nother stupid argument against versions of Windows other than XP), we'll presume you're speaking of the OS - It's an unnamed linux distro, stripped down to the point where the only thing it's capable of doing is running the Chrome browser. What this means from a user perspective is all of your applications. All of your Data. All of your Information *must* reside on someone else's server. WHO's server???

Google's, of course!!

Think about it: Your data. Your apps. And Your personal infomation to be hosted by the very same people who make billions of dollars selling information about people's habits to anyone willing to pay the going rate. Google will *own* your data. It's a privacy nightmare. And if you think that's somehow a *good* thing, you really really really need to step away from the crack pipe.

The people who should be scared of Chrome OS are the PUBLIC. Microsoft is hardly scared. Why? Because once people figure out what they're exposing themselves to by running Chrome OS, it will guarantee more Microsoft and Mac OS sales. At least then your data is still your own.

Rather than rattle off the entire contents of their announcement, let’s hit the high points. Google's Chrome OS is an OS designed to do one thing and one thing only: run Google Chrome. It will be open source, it will run on ARM and x86, it’s Linux based, and it’s not going to launch until the second half of 2010. Taking a page out of Apple’s book, Google is announcing it now as a way to avoid another party spilling the beans before Google is ready.

The single most important thing to take from this announcement right now is just what Chrome OS will do. It won’t run an email client, it won’t run an office suite, and it won’t run games – it will only run Google Chrome. It’s Linux stripped to the bone, left with just enough to run Chrome, and nothing more.

First of all, sir is correct, thank you.

Second, yeah okay... Cause it doesn't take years of planning and chaning to make an os. Which further shows he was avoiding this situation and protecting his buisness reputation. *sarcasm. As for your comment on Gates and occupying himself, you said he was getting old. Why is he more active? Your being contradicting, unless your just making *** up. Yeah, sure like any version of Windows is totally secure anyway. Go buy a Mac with the rest of those losers.

So why do they need to show the press they aren't scared of Google Chrome all together? They tried to buy Google a long time ago and that didn't happen. Which was a good thing for the Google owners. Also, could you show me where I said that MS was scared of Google Chrome? I don't see that anywhere.

Also, if you think your computer is safe now and totally protected I think you need to take your own advice. No really, the post you made sounded stupid.

As for your last quote. That's an early observation, a lot can happen until then. What are you trying to get at? I mean, MS was supposed to release a lot more with Vista also, turns out it was just a bunch of BS. I might add that Windows 7 isn't going to make up for this either.
