    The biggest problem is you can easily cheat with CoresMark 2010. Once Task manager is launched go to Proccesses and right click CoresMark and make its priority high or real time, optionally close taskmanager, and run the benchmark................

    ;) I also did this
    with the SONY E Series upgrade to i7 620M Mobile CPU
    Let's see the performance chart


    :D

    Looks like you have a 720 - start a thread with that topic and we should be able to find someone with the 920XM. I have the 940XM and can provide benches for that, just make a list of benchmarks you want to compare.

    Hi

    I think you could reference this
    http://cpubenchmark.info/worldrank.aspx

    you could see the left side and right side to make sure user didn't overclock

    it could use Ctrl+F to search string

    Thanks

    How is this cheating? Running high priority just makes background tasks wait, which is what you want.

    Hi JohnnyFlash

    the new version of CoresMark fixed this cheating bug
    now if user want change the CoresMark 2010's process priority
    the CoresMark will stop continue testing performance

    btw if you find any other bug just let me know

    Thanks

    any guys could test the
    Intel® Xeon® Processor X5680
    (12M Cache, 3.33 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel® QPI)

    and show the clear photo in this thread

    I will give a Free Standard license(Value 15USD) to him

    Have a good day

    Sorry to ruin the party but the problem with this was that the results become skewed. I would get 104 seconds or so at normal but at realtime I'd get under 70 seconds on my P7805 with P9600.

    Where the results could vary do much you can't rely then on the cpu charts for the real power of the CPU in a heavy multithread usage. You wouln't normally take your tasks and modify them in this way. So in the end it does not simulate real world advantages.

    Glad to be of service to the OP, and appologise for putting it out in the public domain like this but figured it needs to be known by all. If you truly got the bug, great. You can delete my results from there with the P8400 and P9600 as I did it with the cheat and my U81a.............. :)

    Ok tested the new version, sorry it took so long but I am trial only and had to try a few fresh launches to test this out and there is that delay......... :)

    1.) once you update reboot or performance does not seem to be proper. My C2D was running at 0.78% running right from the update and totalled 120 seconds or so. Reboot it runs at 1.08% or so and under 100 seconds.

    2.) The fix seems to be not alowing "Real Time" but now launches and runs at "High" priority. People should know by default if you were not using the cheat before this should somewhat improve your times and make future results more consistent cross hardware platform and more CPU/RAM dependent.

    If you would like testing of this for the future though I would like to get rid of the time to wait thing, kind of a pain in the neck to test with multiple launches and or reboots.............
