Is it for justice?

Hi!

I have a question. Why CPU-Z rating focus on NetBurst only? AMD 4200MHz (http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=536841) - only 2.5 hwboints, C2D 5600MHz (http://hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=611790) - only 12.1 hwboints, is it fair?

Yep, CPU-z is CPU speed ranking, it is fair:)

[demiurg]

CPU speed
Speed? Are you sure? I think, it is just a long conveyor in NetBurst`s architecture ;)

[demiurg]

C2D with 4000MHz is faster then CedarMill/Presler with 8000MHz
And get 4000MHz on AMD CPU is much harder as get 8000MHz on CedarMill/Presler IMHO

You're completely right, but the CPU-Z ranking has nothing to do with performance, just clockspeed.

I had doubts too when adding CPU-Z, but it was added by popular request.

By the way, you have to give the netburst cpu's some credit, this is the only category they score well in. :P

May be it would be better to divide processors by architectures and according this dividing give hwboint's?

I'd be a whole lot of work to treat cpu-z as a special case:
- different hwboint algorithm
- different ranking pages
- a lot more maintenace = slower development
- ...

Personally I don't think it's worth all the trouble.

Demiurg- You saw DeDal's thread yesterday in topmods.net? You know how long he has tryed to achieve that magig 8GHz barrier :) It's not so easy to get your cpu speed that high. My celeron didn't go over 6.4GHz no matter what, but I'm not complaining.

CPU-Z ranking is all about MHz. Nothing else and that's the way it should be in future.

I think everything's fair... CPU-Z is pure speed, for performances, you still have all the benches ;)

Yes, I do know. And I'm not complaining too ;)
I just think 4500MHz on AMD, 6000MHz on Conroe and 8000MHz on NetBurst must get equal hwboints.

[Massman]

Not really ... cpu-z = just cpu speed. We can't help it if AMD doesn't create such high-ocable cpu's. Netburst may be not superfast, they are oc-able and that's what counts in this ranking.

[Jaan]

But what if hwbot calculate hwboints not from speed, but percent of oc- maybe that would be more honest for hardcore oc-ers?
