*OFFICIAL* M11x Benchmark Thread

This is on battlenet, right? Also, how's it do on 2v2 and 4v4 on high/ultra?

Thanks

 

@ DR650SE
alright, it's been a little while, but i got better benchies for GTA IV... with pictures this time.

This one is my usual setting. (i had to resize it to upload it...)

This one is minimum settings.

 

1vs1 and 2vs2 is ok. But in large battles (3vs3, 4vs4) it gets choppy (~10-15fps). Even on low settings with less units on the screen, but many on the map. I think this is a CPU issue.

 

GX or ENVY for me then. Thanks for yoru help

 

I will return my M11x to Dell and will wait for the refresh or have a look at the Acer Aspire 3820TG-434G64n...

 

Yeah it does get choppy, i did 7 AI's + me so 8 players in a game, and just made a ton of units, expanded and filled the 4v4 map with creep. set graphics on high and it got choppy so bad, also on low settings, darn. Making me wish i got the GX640, but nah. And the AI's are using my CPU. I dont think im going to be playing 4v4 unless im on my desktop.

If im playing 4v4 in my m11x, i guess I should rush the other players. hahaha.
I wonder if the campaign mode would use the cpu more.

 

Or you could order an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-640UM Processor(1.20Ghz, 4 Threads, turbo boost up to 2.26GHz, 4M cache) M11x

Or even an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-520UM Processor(1.06GHz, 4 Threads, turbo Boost up to 1.86GHz, 3M cache) M11x

I'm not sure a GX or ENVY are going to give you a better combination of GPU and CPU, but I could be wrong.

 

Anyone have any Unreal 3 benchies? I play Global Agenda and I am curious how it will play on my incoming(hopefully soon) M11x.

 

It looks like GPU-Z 0.4.3 finally reports the "correct" hardware on the 335M. What's with the low derived values and 8 ROPs though? It should be a GT215 chip.

 

Guys
is i5 or i7 faster than P7350 running at 2.1 ghz which is what's powering my macbook? if ix is faster, how much is it faster

 

well the P7350 is a C2D, right?
Apart from clock speeds, the biggest thing the ix cpus have going is the hyper threading. Not sure how much difference that will make, though...

 

According to PassMark, here:
C2D SU7300 get the score of 980 (just incase anyone interested in M11xR1)
C2D P7350 get the score of 1390
i5-520UM get the score of 1611 (it said i5 U 520, so I assume it's UM since there is no desktop version of 520)
i7-720QM get the score of 3228 (pretty popular in larger screen notebook)
So, it's safe to say that i7-640UM will be about twice as fast as SU7300.

And here are the GT335M(M11x), GTX260M(M15x) and GMA HD just throwing it in for fun.
GT335M score 609
GTX260M score 708
GMA HD score 325

 

Something to remember gentlemen... Games do not utilize hyperthreading at this time. Only physical cores. I want to see real gaming benchmarks before jumping on the I7 bandwagon. (feel free to google hyperthreads and gaming)

BW,

Just pointing out, that I am on that bandwagon because the i7 oced with turbo boost will be at 2.66 Ghz. So really who cares if games support HT or not?

 

That 2.66GHz is a single core mode, you know.

 

Yeah, even without turbo boost the i7 OC will run at 2.22? or 2.26? which is still 500mhz more than the core duo.

 

TB w/o OC on dual core more is 1.8GHz. So dual core mobe TB+OC probably close to 2.26GHz.

 

Yes if TB + OC is 2.26 then yes you will see some fps increase for sure in games. May not be huge but a definite increase.

Thanks,

StevenX

 

SU7300 OC'd I did a passmark is ~1200 I forget already lol

 

Guys, I'm headed home on leave. I won't be spending much time on the forum so I will update the scores when I get back to Baghdad, which will be in about a month. Mid July time frame. Maybe there will be some new R2 scores, as I'm thinking of seperating the R1/R2 scores. We'll see.

Thanks
Dan

 

@DR650SE - Hope you have a safe trip home. Have you heard if anyone has a demo of the R2 to bench against? Any insiders or anything?

Thanks,

StevenX

 

Thanks, will do. So far I havn't heard anything, But I'm going to try and check in a time or two while I'm on leave. Just to see where the R2 Benches. Probably not too long till they are delivered.

 

While we wait for R2, here is a review of Asus N82JV with likable specs of Intel Core i7 620M 2.66 GHz, and the same NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M just to give you an idea of how the M11x-R2 will run in benchmarks.

Notebookcheck: Review Asus N82JV Notebook

 

It's good to see Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on there. Turning HBAO on is the best way to reduce performance though.

 

FAIL

the alienware has the i7-6 40 um which is a ultra low voltage version
and NOT a "grown-up" like the i7 620m that is in the ASUS

 

It is interesting, then, that those gaming benchmarks are so close to what the M11xR1 shows. It looks like for most games, it is GPU limited after all. However, for things like transcoding video, clearly the R2 is going to spank the R1 based on those benchmarks.

 

it's a reference to how the R2 MIGHT run, genius.

 

Yep. This is pretty surprising - and almost unbelievable - almost the same 3DMark06 scores (6.8k vs 6.4-6.5k) with ASUS with i7-620M and m11xR1. That's a pretty big CPU difference i7 620M (at least mine) runs steadily 3.33 GHz DualCore during the benchmarking.

 

that is interesting. I always thought 335m was way more than the 1.3Ghz C2D could handle. Could it be that the CPU is only slightly bottlenecked? I guess we'll see super soon. Of course I'm just talking about gaming... and comparing dual cores.. I'm sure a quad would open up the door but we don't have that option =)

 

M11x R1 did really well there (6.5K score for 11.6" laptop is great) or I would be very inclined to think that they screwed up something with that 3DMark06 bench for N82 with i7 620M. I can't believe for a second that i7 620M @ 2.66 before turbo only gets 300~400 ish more points than SU7300, especially since they have exactly same GPU. CPU score alone should have made more difference.

I've seen i5's with 5650's getting over 7,000 easily with stock settings...something has to be wrong.

EDIT - there is more significant difference with 3DMark Vantage - M11x's 2697 vs N82's 3191 pts

 

Maybe the 335M and the C2D CPUs were a good match after all.

 

Hendrickson in the Acer forum, Overclocked his 3820 tg(13'') and got basically 10,000 points. that was on a i5 with 5650! incredible stuff! At first he got 9000, but he was able to do some OC'ing that got him to almost 10,000 in 3dmark 06! http://forum.notebookreview.com/ace...nge-info-benchmarks-tweaks-mods-upgrades.html

I think when he didnt OC it, he got around 7300!

 

Just want to chime in on the Asus N82JV. Even though both are using nVidia GT335M. I wonder about the way they implement the GPU. Could that be a factor in term of 3D performance also. According to nVidia site, GT335M could use either 1066 DDR3 or 800 GDDR3.

 

That is indeed very good number - I wonder what M11x R2 will do fully overclocked with i7 640UM. I'd think M11x is easier to overclock because of lower running temp at stock settings.

 

But that's a completely different graphic card.

 

I am not sure. 3820 has incredible low temperatures, because it has a dual cooling system, due to a lack optical drive, that goes underneath the 13'' chassis. It's very very low temperatured. Never seen anything like the numbers they come up with!

 

You know even though this is M11x thread, I have to admit if 3820 was available now with i5 and 5650 I'd buy that one in heart beat. The only problem is that I need one by early July and M11x has the chance of making it while it is still unknown about the Acer...

 

Well mate, that's an honest thing to say.
I am looking forward to trying both of them, to see which has the best build quality

 

Notebookcheck: Review Asus N82JV Notebook

This is what I have been trying to tell people for months, heck, even years. In 95% of games the 335M is going to be able to run full out on the SU7300 OC'ed, no one should expect to see much in gains except on a very few specific CPU bound games.

 

WEI score is....

3.1 for the r2!

cpu 5.3
ram 5.3
graphics 3.1
gaming graphics 6.2
HDD 5.9

ahahaha

 

Not that I put a whole lot of stock in the WEI as far as how relevant it is for the day to day use of a PC, but wow. That CPU score is not $300 worth of impressive.

 

popypop, mind running a gaming benchmark or two, crysis etc? Figure you know how it's done, you've been around the m11x forums for awhile, hopefully you had some things backed up and ready. Sorry to be rush rush, just been waiting to pull the trigger on an R2 after benchmarks and I'm getting impatient lol. thanks.

 

you do realise that the the 3.1 business graphics comes from the integrated chip

 

Yeah, it's just hilarious though. I really do wish it had the manual toggle back..

I dont have any games installed, still installing apps and setting up my workspace.

 

I guess WEI does not take power consumption and battery drain into it's score. It's just raw power. That's not what you pay for when you purchase a ultra low voltage processor.


A i7 um is probably like a ninja.
A regular i7, is more like a samurai. he is loud, messy but gets the job done.
The ninja is not as efficent at doing the job - but he gets the job done, at a slower pace. But he is not messy, and he is not messy at all.

I deserve a goddam pulitzer, for this genius analogy. someone call Intel!

 

i7 loud... ? WEI isn't that good indicator. I'd say rather take a loot at PassMark or something like that for benchmarking.

For RL usage - a lil different story. You should ask yourself what are you going to use the computer for. If the most CPU-intensive stuff you do is gaming (such as me; I run things like MATLAB, but barely ever encode a video for example) you should really look at the game FPS benchmarks - as the best indicator. 3DMark is OK but.... not the only thing, it's OK as a rough guideline.

With the preliminary numbers, I'm not convinced i7 620um is worth the money (it is definitely AN upgrade...) over something like SSD.

 

it is dead silent, I'll give it that, but I dont think it's used the 335m at all except for a tiny portion of that test.

 

I was staring at this for a second and then started laughing

But yeah, for most of applications i7 ULV should be more than capable. It is also more efficient - i5 520 ULV compared to i5 520M got only about 70% of CPU passmark score but then max TDP is about half. It does more work per watt for sure.

 

TDP isn't the amount of power use, but amount of heat disipation. Although it's in general the amount of power use are porportional to the heat generated & heat disipation. But that's not a guarantee. Isn't that is the theory, energy don't just disappear. Amount of energy input equal to the energy output. Energy just change from one form to another. Also the TDP listed is a max, so there is no correct way of measuing that.

 

man. how could you resist not uploading 3dmark first?! i prolly would have cut a finger off trying to get the box open as fast as i could
