XtremeCPU Benchmark

There is something wrong with the AMD dc scores too. 2.5 GHz seems to be the sweet spot...

This BM is totally broken with Netburst, the author has been made aware of it and hasn't even responded. IMO his apparent apathy about that fact indicates that he either doesn't care or wanted it that way. If he wants to make a BM that only runs on AMD cpus, that's fine but he should at least advertise it as what it is. An AMD only BM.

It seems to me that in order for this BM to produce scores that are ~700% low for Netburst, it would almost have to be intentionally written that way.

P.T. Barnum said that there is a sucker born every minute and IMO that adage applies to anyone who believes that this BM produces meaningful results for all x86 cpus.

Of course it doesn't produce meaningful results for intel CPUs. You'd have to be a biased idiot to believe that.

And I am 99% sure that he did not code it that way. Like I said earlier, I had the same problem with a benchmark that I wrote. After some research, it turned out to be how the program was compiled. I ran in a DOS window, which use both 16-bit and 32-bit instructions. For whatever reason, AMD CPUs are tons faster at processing 16-bit instructions. Although it's fairly interesting, that shouldn't be for a reason to say that AMD is better than intel mainly due to the fact that 16-bit CPUs and OSs are obsolete.

??? WTF, how is that possible

This is my score

[somwhere_there]

heh - inetresting benchmark, here is my score -
A64 2800+ (s.754) - 2000MHZ - OCZ Gold DDR500 512 (2*256 mb, single channel) - ddr500 - 1555 XCPUM - 108 sec

think that score is normal, but time?

[POGE]

Sticky?

I want to see a conroe on this!

It would be interestimg to see how deep the bias goes!
