the I7-920XM Turbo Mode is no faster than OCed Mobile Q9200ES ? (3DMark06 CPU score)

[milkcafe]

INTEL MOBILE CPU TURBO BOOST CHEATING:


i7 720QM clock speed with Turbo Mode goes like following.
1.60GHz Base
1.73GHz Quad Core Turbo
2.40GHz Dual Core Turbo
2.80GHz Single Core Turbo

i7 920XM clock speed with Turbo Mode goes like following.
2.00GHz Base
2.26GHz Quad Core Turbo
2.80GHz Dual Core Turbo
3.20GHz Single Core Turbo

------------------

3DMark06 CPU score:

I7-920XM : 3694
820QM : 32xx
720QM : 30xx
i7 620M : 31xx

Q9200ES @ 2.88GHz : 4852


is the i7 self-Turbo a joke ??





i7-720QM = Q8200 2.33GHz
i7-820QM = Q9200 2.40GHz
I7-920XM = Q9550 2.83GHz

2.88Ghz vs. 1.73Ghz...

2.88Ghz vs. 1.73Ghz...

(low price)
Old quad core 2.88GHz
3DMark06 CPU score 48xx


(high price)
New quad core 2.0GHZ Turbo boost 2.26GHz
3DMark06 CPU score 36xx

isn't Intel cheating on Mobile quad core CPU ???

I don't deny that i3-330M is even faster than the P8700
I5-430M is faster than the T9600
and with a lower price

the new mobile quad core is really suck

Are you trying to compare mobile chips against desktop chips?

no,

just the old Mobile quad core V.S. the new Mobile quad core

that is very disappointing, i would expect it to be significant difference.

[larrabee]

I'm a little confused by the numbers. Could you show where you got the following scores from:
I7-920XM : 3694
820QM : 32xx
720QM : 30xx
i7 620M : 31xx
Q9200ES @ 2.88GHz : 4852

Could you also explain what you mean by "TURBO BOOST CHEATING"?

If im not mistake under 3dmark test CPU #2 , all cores will be utilized , and under heavy pressure turbo will not work.
In that case old Q9200ES who runs at constant 2.88GHz will outdo i7 920XM & i7 720QM who will run under or around 2ghz mark.

i dont get it... i must be missing something... heres the rig in sig....

lol i thought my cpu had done quite well... i've just cross referanced the whole system with a p6t x58 i7based pc and the differance was massive....

[saaya]

yes, the mobile i7 quads suck pretty bad... those are 45nm, not 32nm like the dualcores...
even the 32nm dualcore westmere mobile cpus suck when it comes to power consumption!
they consume around 10-33% more power than a comparable mobile C2D from some previews ive seen...

looking at the score of the 920XM... id say its throttling based on heat or amps... so its only running around 2ghz and then jumping to 2.26ghz for some seconds and then throttling back to 2ghz again? i wouldnt be surprised... these chips are HOT...
