2500+ Barton Benchmark

[Gil_galad]

I think something's wrong with the benchmark I'm oing with my processor. The latest version of Sandra says that the Multimedia performanes are lower than an Athlon XP 2400+ and almost equal to a 2200+, although my processor is 2500+. Any suggestions??

Because it's clocked almost equal to 2200+ (2200+ = 1.8 GHz, 2500+ = 1.83 GHz, 2400+ = 2.0 GHz).

Multimedia benchmark performance depends more on clockspeed.

So the 2500+ is slower than a 2400+??

in some multimedia apps - e.g. Video Encoding.

But, play games etc, and BANG 2500 beats 2400

The xp2500+ is indeed physically slower than the xp2400+. Part of it's PR rating is based on the larger line 2 cache. Most apps make very good use of the extra cache. It certainly works for me. I first bought an xp2400+, then got an xp2500+ and my third system uses an overclocked xp-m2500+. The xp2400+ is the poorest performer, and doesn't OC as well.

By the way Sandra, is a Synthetic benchmark. You can't use Sandra numbers to compare CPU, you should use GameDemo, scripted apps. or encoding of files.

Don't forget that the performance will also be influenced by the otehr PC components, a slow HDD might offset your score to some extends.

It's tricky to use words like <b><font color=green>AMD</font color=green></b> or <b><font color=blue>Intel</font color=blue></b> in a signature some users could think your are biased.

a slow HDD will not affect the CPU tests in the sandra program -_-



funny thing is my CPU always comes out lower as well. even if i clock my CPU exactly at 2.2ghz with a 200mhz fsb, and then put my ram at 2/3/3/8 it still ALWYAS comes out lower than what the program says i should

my motherboard is a NF7-S, so if anything that should help because nforce=good ..

every single cpu ive owned, always had low scores in sandra, altho in real life it didnnt seem that way

Sandra scores are based on a clean install, with os only, and no progs running in startup. Hard drive can affect cpu scores, if Sandra is looking for itself. I often think Sandra couldn't find her own.. well you know what I mean.

 

[TheRod]

Another reason why I never used Sandra. It looks like the only interesting thing you can see with it is the memory bandwidth.

And even that gets scewed if the computer hasn't just started, or if anything is running in the start menu.
