Fritz Chess benchmark is not so well known. However, I have found it to be a useful stress test benchmark that scales with cores and threads. It is one of the few tests that will set every CPU to 100% utilisation during the test. I use it for measuring power at the wall, and relative performance for "crunch" rather than speed tests.

The test is very quick to do, and the download doesnt need installing... just unzipping and running. Download Fritz here: link

I wonder how two cores on my q6600 compare against a shadows kuma clock for clock.
 
Considering that the kuma is only 3mb and the Q6600 is 8mb.. :laugh:

That cost less than half of my Quad.

Surely more cache wouldn't make such a difference.

^^ I think your speedstep has kicked in. I doubt that 2 thread run speed was done at 2142 Mhz.

I just ran 2 cores on my Q6600 @ 2.7 Ghz = 2.956 per Ghz

Kuma = 2.447 per Ghz

Intel wins by 21% per clock on this benchmark. Please note I am on DDR1 and a DDR2/3 Q6600 should do a lot better.

Intel wins this battle :laugh:...
 
Yeah speedstep always does that to me. The speed was 3.2ghz.
 
Just gave it a try.

Isn't the phenom II meant to be faster than core 2 ?

Here's a run using my everyday settings (3.8ghz, NO HT)

Might give it another run later and see what HT does for it.

same settings with ht enabled.

Lol
 
Oh cool another benchmark!! I'll give a run at my 24/7 either later tonight or tomorrow!
 
I'll do a clean test when I haven't got a bunch of stuff running in the background.

My CPU is on speed step. Speed was 3.75GHZ when I ran it.

Heres my go,
3DSAGE | PII 720B.E X4 @ 3.9GHZ | 19.61 | 5.028 | 2xChannel DDR2 800 4-4-4-15

Pretty close to the Core I7 @ 3.8GHZ (no HT)
