PC Performance (January 2009)

It’s been over a year since I’ve updated the PC Performance chart. Why did it take so long? Well, over the last year I’ve made a lot of architectural changes, both to Geekbench and to the Geekbench Result Browser, that broke the chart generation scripts. After the Geekbench 2.1 release (and after the holidays) I had time to sit down and re-write the scripts, so here’s the latest installment of the PC Performance chart.

Setup

Results were collected from Geekbench 2 for Windows running on PCs with at least 512 MB of RAM and with processors that weren’t overclocked.

I’ve reported the average overall score for each processor. If you’re unfamiliar with Geekbench and how it measures performance, a score of 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz would receive. Higher scores are better.

PC Performance (December 2007)

I updated the Mac Performance chart earlier this month which means it’s time to update the PC Performance chart. The latest chart includes a number of new processors:

  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-70
  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-74
  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
  • AMD Phenom 9600
  • Intel Celeron 420
  • Intel Celeron 530
  • Intel Pentium E2180
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E4500
  • Intel Core 2 Extreme Q6800
  • Intel Core 2 Extreme Q6850
  • Intel Core 2 Extreme X9650

Since this chart, like the last PC Performance charts, is based on results from the Geekbench Result Browser, there are a number of potential problems with the chart (like how do you account for differing hardware like motherboards and memory). I believe that by averaging results for each processor you can account for some (if not all) of the differences in hardware (like motherboards and memory); you might not get incredibly accurate results, but the results should give you a rough idea of the performance you can expect from a particular processor.

Setup

Results were collected from Geekbench 2 for Windows running on PCs with at least 512 MB of RAM and with processors that weren’t overclocked.

I’ve reported the average overall score for each model and processor combination, where 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz would receive. Higher scores are better.
