Thx... alltough I'm not really new, just an old timer coming back... I cant remember the last account though since it was like 10 years I logged in... :whiste:
People with faster cpu (core) speeds than me have considerably lower results. This is definitely more than a synthetic benchmark. Lots of things such as cache latency and memory latency play into this.
Synthetic benchmarks can be a suitable proxy for performance comparisons within a given application class.
Obviously the benchmark itself could be constructed such that it cannot serve as a suitable proxy, but usually the case is more that the end-user is failing to understand the application class for which the benchmark serves a proxy.
Sandra memory bandwidth benchmark is not intended to capture the performance of a system when it comes to gaming, for example. 3DMark would be a better proxy for that. But if you are interested in performance in floating-point heavy apps then 3Dmark will be a poor proxy for performance, whereas memory bandwidth might be a better proxy.

I wish people would stop posting - Here is my score, System in sig., because clearly the system shown in their sig NOW is not the system they ran the benchmarks on and the results are now useless.

I'm surprised people still use this considering how old it is. I just happened to have it because I'm a bit of a digital hoarder so it was still sitting on my external HDD. Here's what my 4930K got when I tested it at 4.5GHz with 16 GB of 1866Mhz R.A.M. at 9-10-9-28 timings.
