Hotspot Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The Oz pc magazine "Atomic" October 2009 Issue No105 has a comparison of all available CPU's performance running FSX. Interesting to say the least!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 So how does a 2.6 GHz quad against a 3.2 GHz dual core ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotspot Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 So how does a 2.6 GHz quad against a 3.2 GHz dual core ? In each case the CPU's were tested at their Unclocked and their maximum achievable clock (which would vary from CPU to CPU). To appreciate the method you would have to study it, but here are the figures best to worst for how they performed in FSX: Top CPU E8600 uc score 18 clocked score 28 max oc 4.5 2 i7 965 '' 18 " " 26 " 4.14 3 E8500 " 17 " " 26 " 4.4 5 QX9650 " 16 " " 26 " 3.8 7 Q9650 " 16 " " 25 " 3.96 8 i7 940 " 16 " " 24 " 4.02 9 E8400 " 15 " " 26 " 4.4 12 Q9550 " 13 ' " 24 " 3.3 20 i7 920 " 12 " " 24 " 4.0 There were 41 CPU's tested.

skylar Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 can anyone post more specifics? like test setups and such. Id be very interested in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotspot Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 can anyone post more specifics? like test setups and such. Id be very interested in that Precis only Set up: Five platforms for over forty CPU's - two of interest LGA 775 mobo Biostar Tpower 145 LGA 1366 mobo Asus PT 6 Deluxe Common main components: HDD 250GB Samsung Spinpoint P120S; Graphics Zotac GeForce 260 AMP, Air Cooling Media Benchmark order of performance: 1 - i7965x; 2 -i7940; 3 - i7920; 8 - Q9550; 9 - E8600; 12 - E8500; 13 - E8400 FSX order of performance at highest possible clock on air: 1 - E8600; 2 - i7965x; 3 - E8500; 7 - Q9650; 8 - i7940; 9 - E8400; 12 - Q9550; 20 - i7920 My experience would support that the E8600 runs FSX better then the Q9550 (both chips unclocked).
