Re: Benchmark utilities

Anyone familiar with Prime95? I forgot how to do the time test to check my speed. You know, the number everyone shows off in msec.

that's not Prime95...it's SuperPI

note that SuperPI is single threaded, so its relevance as a measure of performance in the current era of multi-core processors is diminishing quickly...many users have moved to Orthos or OCCT for their stability testing since those are multithreaded programs

there is something out called HyperPi, which is SuperPi for multicore CPU's but I have never used it myself so I can't vouch for it's performance

Re: Benchmark utilities

OCCT is a nifty utility. After a new build or hardware change I run it at least an hour to check stability.

I am sure everyone is aware that you can do either of two tests for CPU - the stnd OCCT and Intel's Linpack.

I do Linpack as I figure bigger is better.

Re: Benchmark utilities

Thanks all. That was what I was looking for. I wanted to see how fast my chip was, not burn test. I showed screenshot runs of OCCT when it first came out a while back. Don't remember what thread it was but it was good then and could do multi-core.
