Oh yeah on my Phenom II x4, the estimated times for betas are shorter yet the regulars are finishing faster than them when I actually look at my valid results. Rudy, can you check your validated results as well and see if you're getting this discrepancy as well?
4 of my machines are now on Ubuntu x64. While the estimated time remaining is shorter for betas, non-betas are actually getting faster times in my 2 K8 machines and my K10 machine. Only the Sandy Bridge Pentium G620 is getting better results on beta. Whatever does better on beta on windows is...
I asked this in Rudy's thread also but which Linux distro should I use? It seems like switching from Win XP x86 to Linux x64 would help me crunch better
I'm at 3942 x4 so right behind ya but with fewer threads. My CPU-NB is 2920 and my RAM is running at 779-8-9-8-19-27-1T Dual Channel Unganged 8GB total. I wonder if any of that is a factor
Also, I'm thinking of switching some of my other machines to Linux so they can crunch better! Which...
For my Phenom II on Win 7 x64, they are pretty close to the same with the non-betas holding a slight edge. These beta apps must be best for Intel users
I made this change, thanks! I do notice that the BioMedical Genome Correlations give you slightly more credit but I guess it's not enough to make up for so much of a time difference!
I have several systems and let's just say AMD is favored in Correlizer.
I have a Phenom II unlocked to X4 and overclocked to 3.94 GHz and 2.92 CPU-NB and in the other room I have a Pentium G620 2.6GHz.
The Phenom II gets WUs done in almost half the time PER CORE. If Correlizer performance...
I second this. How important is that L3 cache anyways? Also, has CPU-NB been messed with? CPu-Z isn't being very friendly with this question on the Llano =(
For most games I could imagine, you would get more gains from a better video card than you would from that kind of a CPU change. When you go to Sandy Bridge on the other hand.....
Intel is still feeling threatened but it is not by AMD. ARM may come to a position to challenge Intel in 3-5 years due to power consumption superiority so Intel is looking to be ready to meet this competition.
As for AMD, it seems like Intel has moved on from them and are willing to throw them...
Let's not call it anything
The 2600k chip has 4 "cores" but performs like it has a bit more than 4 "cores"
The FX-8150 has 8 "cores" but performs like it has wayy less than 8 "cores"
# of cores do not always equal performance. Just find which chip gives the best performance for the most...
