Intel 32nm Clarkdale CPU-and-GPU chip benchmarked

[saaya]

Dude
That Chinese benchmark is flawed that it uses a driver that barely recognizes Clarkdale.

i agree that its a bad driver, but its the best intel had at that time, 1 month ago... ^^

G45 gets way more than 3.4 fps at everything low on Crysis. From the same site it shows 8-9 fps.

yes, my bad for not mentioning it... they ran the same driver they used for clarkdales igp for the G45 to get the same image quality... thats why G45 has lower numbers in there than it usually would... if you compare the best G45 driver with the clarkdale graphics its more realistical but pretty sad, cause the 200-250% boost is almost completely gone...

If Clarkdale can 2.5x that then it can at least equal 9400.

what do you base this on?
here, have a look:


if it would be 3x as fast as G45, it would manage to be the SAME as ion... not beat it... 790FX beats that, and 785 can be overclocked to 1ghz on air on most boards, which results in a really nice boost, sometimes above 30%...

even IF they reach a 2.5x boost, they will just about catch up with igp graphics from last year...

You can't compare the result to anything other than Intel IGPs because the driver even cripples the G45.

yes, using vthe clarkdale driver for the G45 system wasnt a smart move from hkpc... but if they would have used a propper G45 driver it would have made clarkdale graphics even worse, as theres barely a boost compared to G45...

If you want to make yourself relevant you are better off not fooling others first.

right...
YOU might want to read that review your quoting, and i mean really read all of it and not as much as you think you need to prove me wrong :P

If they can manage 2-3x average in games it will be at least be on par with 785G.

yes, but 790FX and ION both beat that...
i think their overclocked clarkdale igp at 900mhz will probably do about as good as 9400 aka ion and 790FX... thats not bad... but its not good...

and we have yet to see a 2.5x performance boost...
to the smart4sses who said the hkpc numbers showed a 2.5x boost over G45, well read the review, they used the clarkdale igp driver on G45 which made it slower... normal G45 performance is only slightly slower than clarkdale igp numbers in that test... which makes sense seing as clarkdales igp only has 20% more shader processors than G45.

I saved Hexus' gaming test.

oh nice! very interesting!
sounds like they DID make quite some advancements with their drivers since last month!


EDIT: hmmmm




either G45 and possibly clarkdales igp lose half their perf when using 8xAF, or intel managed to double G45 performance within the last month?
either explanation sounds weird...

Vozer, did hexus say anything about image quality?
