AMD CPU scores in Windows 7

[cartel]

I am curious what the AMD CPU's are getting.
Currently I score 5.9 with my FX-60 at 2.8GHZ.
I am wanting to upgrade.......
I am getting 7.9 on my AGP but the FX-60 and the amout of ram I can use I think is maxed out.
I can only do 1GB per slot.

I was looking at the X2-6400 for 130$ and I would like to know what it scores.
I see the 6000+ at 5.9, thats not a huge increase for me to shell out for new ram, mobo and CPU and video card.
I'm confused on what CPU to get, Intel or AMD.

I want fast at everything, but particularly games.

thanks

I have a 6.1 with my AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3ghz
I think most members will tell you to go with Intel.

OK I seen this guy has 5.9, I forgot Windows 7 gives me 5.9 at 2.8Ghz
Seems like AMD X2 cpu's haven't got any better, they just screwed us over with 1 pin and added ddr2 support....

Hey Cartel,

If you have got the money and want the speed then I would suggest going for the new intel i7

If money is tighter then a good step would be to go for an Intel 775 quad core eg. 9550 or the new AMD Phenom ll X4 940.

Alternatively you could wait for the AM3+ Phenom ll, but I do not know what sort of price tag they will be carrying.

I think that anything less will not give you the noticeable leap in speed that you are expecting.

I hope this helps

with my b2 phenom 9600, at 2.3 mhz TLB patch disabled i get 6.3
i'm going over to the phenom II 940, should push it towards 7

Funny with my b2 phenom 9500, at 2.2 mhz TLB patch disabled i get 6.9 :shock:

I am also planning to update in the next few weeks keep me posted with your scores

Pooch

Asus M3A

It costs €225 here I will need a new board as well so I am looking at an Asus M3n-HT Deluxe/HDMI for €159 this is from a local dealer that I have been using for years

looked more, found win7 overrides tlb patch on this mb. Set mri manually, i've got 6.9 now.

tnx i'd never have found that otherwise

Yes they are sneaky like that I would have preferred to have the choice. Still with the 940 this will be history

I got a 7.0 with my 2.3GHz 9650.

+1 and +1

I get a 7.2 CPU subscore with a Phenom X4 9550, but really you shouldn't be making your purchasing decisions on the WEI.

Even though I have a higher subscore than an Athlon X2 6400+ I bet it would do better in most games and single-threaded applications.

Nobody said they were!! I tend to let my wallet decide

You are probably right, but there is more to computing than just playing games

i normally pay not too much attention to benchmarks/wei. Lessons derived from the skewing of graphics benchmarks by adding benchmark specific code to the drivers makes one a bit hesitant to accept benchmark/wei results on face value.

I tend to go for everyday usage as my guide.
From my dualboot rig having installed as much of the same apps as supported on both os's (vista sp2 RC & win7) i found the in realistic every day use the only difference is a marked reduction in processor temperature/activity on idle with w7.

Overall feel and speed impression, i'm hard put to pinpoint a difference. They both work fine, the response seems equal even though i've windowblinds running in vista and not in w7. I'd need a millisecond timer to measure the responsetimes, so that's moot.

But then again pcgames irritate the bejesus out of me so gamescores don't interest me.
