Guy said it was set to performance mode? :shrug:
maybe it overheated playing CoH
well the ie9 beta is released tomorrow, i think that the preview is a little screwy.
Direct2D acceleration doesn't look to be enabled at all for the Intel system.
I think that maybe the intel GPU driver doesn't properly support IE9 hw acceleration.The rest of the presentation should be representative of i5's GPU performance.
anyone notice that most numbers are very similar, almost looks like a fps cap to me
my OCed i7 920 + GTX260 scores ~650. cpu utilization is about 3-4% and gpu utilization is ~35% while my notebook with an i7 and a 5730 scores 580. perhaps there is limited parallelism in this bench hence low end and high end hardware perform similarly.
looking like a test that just says, good enough, or something be messed up
Guys you are aware this is the 18w i5 that was being tested, yes?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH5A4D9qoDQ forward to 1:47 and it looks like it's the UM being tested.
Doesnt matter in this case.
I get the same results @ 75 vs 60hz. Windows Classic doesnt change anything, neither does killing WDM.exe.
I tried playing a 720p MKV @ DXVA via EVR + AERO enabled at the same time while running the test and no change. Always 606 points in Hallucinogenic mode.
BTW, HD4290 256MB Shared. Dont ask ...
Can you point to the part in the video where he says its 2.4ghz informal? It's not totally clear but if you listen to about 1:45 onwards it seems that they are talking about the i5 @ 18w - the first guy asks and he is pointing the camera at the i5, then the AMD seems to point his hand at it and say "this is 18w".
edit - just wondering if the 2.4ghz thing was suggested in the press or if it was mentioned in any of the demo's? Can anybody find anything in any of the demo's that suggests the i5 is running at 2.4ghz?
I thought that I saw the 2.4Ghz figure in one of the videos,but I can't find it now... So after all,it may be the same 18W i5 system,in which the GPU runs at very low clocks and CPU is in the 1.2-2Ghz(Turbo) range.It fits with the scores at least... And it really is logical to compare 18W i5 vs 18W Zacate,same power band etc.
Thanks enumae,I've missed it. M520 has a 500Mhz GPU and the whole chip is 35W,not really a competitor to Zacate. The 18W i5 is more appropriate for comparison IMO,but that one has really low CPU and GPU clocks.
edit: maybe the guy actually meant Intel® Core™ i5-520UM ,it's easy mistake to make,one letter. This one fits perfectly,it's 18W and has low clocks.

Lol, this just gets more confusing :D
I think it is the UM. This 10% score in the browser thing in 2d might be indicative of the seriously low 2d clock of 166mhz, whereas the game City of Heroes would at least turbo the graphics up to 500mhz, meaning it's about half as good as this Zacate chip (and that is also what we are seeing).
I'm ruling nothing out however. :p:

Still doesn't explains the botched results.
