Hexus Cinebench R15 benchmark thread

[scaryjim]

Tasty indeed! Like me getting my Pentium E5300 to 3.46 and out-handbraking an E8400

Does the e6300 have less cache per core than the higher grade Conroes?

[Bagnaj97]

The Conroe e6300 has 2Mb L2 cache, some higher Conroes have 4Mb, the Wolfdale e6300 has 3Mb (and 2.8GHz rather than 1.86GHz stock compared to the Conroe).

[scaryjim]

Hmm, I wondered if the cache was limiting it but that's no less cache than most of the other processors. Curious...

[Bagnaj97]

I don't suppose anyone's still running a Q6600 are they? It'd be interesting to see how such a venerable chip holds up!

[scaryjim]

Got one, but I think it's in an x86 box rather than x64 And I'm not convinced my stepson will take kindly to me reinstalling his OS for him! I'll be testing a Phenom II 905e eventually, but that will almost certainly be after I've moved house. tbh, I've got quite a lot of boxes on 32bit Win 7 at the minute: it's really frustrating that there's no 32bit exe for Cinebench...

Wonder how would run under a live OS, be it Windows or Linux...

[scaryjim]

You reckon I should see if I can get a live Linux distro with in wrapped in? Might work, I guess...

EDIT: Or I suppose I could run a live linux then install Cinebench, but that sounds like more work

[Bonebreaker777]

Does it needs installation or can it be carried from previously installed machines, form of a portable version?

[Noxvayl]

As far as I could tell Cinebench R15 doesn't support Linux although older version do. I have an E6750 running Ubuntu to use when I'm at Uni that I'd like to run Cinebench on. If someone does get it working on Linux let me know.

[scaryjim]

Ah, dammit you're right: Windows and Mac OSX only. Well that's a bit of a pain....

A8-5600K, slight overclock @ 3800Mhz (Turbo @ 4200Mhz but for some reason under no circumstances I seen the machine reach or activate it, maybe because I turned the APM off). IGP default frequencies 256 shaders @ 760Mhz, memory dual channel DDR3 @ 1866Mhz at 1-9-9-9-24.



A8-5600K, slight overclock @ 4000Mhz, Turbo disabled, APM disabled. IGP underclocked 256 shaders @ 400Mhz, memory dual channel DDR3 @ 1866Mhz at 1-9-9-9-24. Generally just to see the performance difference.

[Noxvayl]

Been fiddling with my machine for a while and decided to see if I could get a little more out of my chip and managed to get 124Mhz more so did another benchmark for the thread.

[Bonebreaker777]

i5-4670k @ 4.2Ghz (if I am not mistaken), DDR3 2133Mhz 1-11-11-11-30



HD7770 as per GPU-Z, Core @ 1000Mhz, memory @ 1125

Anyone know how disk intensive Cinebench is? I have a cunning plan for a portable benchmark environment, but it would have fairly low disk performance...

I'm out right now so I can't test, but if you used the Windows Resource Monitor (there is a button in the task manager to launch it), you can monitor the disk usage in total and process by process, so that's the first place I would look.

That'd require me to get round to downloading and running the benchmark first, which I haven't done yet I thought someone who'd already run it might have an idea. If no-one else knows I guess I'll get round to doing that (or perhaps I'll just do two runs on one of the my machines to get a comparison score).
