    Not a bad time. I am not an overclocker. I got some new rams so I wanted to see what they were up too ;).

    I don't overclock, but I also don't see how what is in your screenshot is possible. Wprime scales more or less linearly with clock speed so I don't understand how a 1.7 GHz T2250 can get 32.8 seconds while the 2.4 GHz T8300 gets roughly the same result. Unless... was the Core architecture actually better than Core 2 clock for clock?

    OK, now it makes even less sense -- those are processors with the same architecture and greater clock speeds, they should be better. I think your processor is either some kind of mutant or simply got mislabeled. There is no way a normal T2250 can be that good.

    :p yes but the Sandra one i meant, if i run it at stock then its still VERY much higher. i think maybe the numbers for the T series are wrong because the T8300 or whichever one you said is higher rated than mine

    edit: see here it is underclocked to 1300Mhz or something

    The test seems to take advantage of threading very well. Dual Core results at the same frequency and similiar architecture are twice and fast and quad core almost 4x faster.

    Is dual core really that helpful for simple web browsing and word processing? Maybe add a single threaded benchmark?

    I have a mobile Sempron @ 1.8Ghz in my laptop. I am considering upgrading to MK-38(Single Core 2.2 Ghz) or TL-58(Dual Core 1.9Ghz). For things like booting-up etc the MK-38 would be faster right?

    Looks like my Octi-tron owns :D
    Its barely breaking a sweat with wprime

    Specs at the time of the test:
    2 x AMD Opteron 2347's at stock 1.9Ghz (8 core) only 2gb reading of my 4gb kingston pc6400 ecc memory (Windows Server 2003 standard edition 32 bit trial). Run on ASUS LIN64SLI-WS/B with dual dynatron a86G coolers
    Its a laptop for me, but I guess it goes under the desktop category cause its a homebuild.

    Just installed a bunch of memory, this is in as used everyday configuration with the exeption of just turning off my Avast package.
    Does this seem reasonable? Tomas M. 5 posts above kicks my butt with a lesser processor, is he super tuning or am I super slow?

    I think Desktop scores are for Desktopreview.

    Dusty...
    yes, I think my SZ was never added to the list, even though in terms of speed it should have been (at the time that I ran the programme).

    But in some places its unfair too - you can't expect a 13" to be as powerful as a gaming laptop - one would have to distinguish these too...

    You could start a new one if you are willing to maintain it.

    hmm, i think the program will detect your hardware and if it found out you use multiple core CPU, will set the thread count accordingly.

    So if you have Quad Core, it will set the thread count to 4 by default.

    29.28s running at 1.598GHz & 2 threads; not sure why it didn't run it at 2.53GHz...
    edit - left it at the default 4 threads - 15.292s running at 1.598GHz & the default 4 threads...seems a bit more like it, but wonder why it shows my CPU to be a "1596MHz Yorkfield E0".

    Looks like I just whupped the Notebooks score posted on the first page.

    Your power management active?
    If it is, use the "high performance" profile. Then re-run the program.
    Note: You have to close wPrime first before changing the power management profile. If not, wPrime will run using the old profile although you already changed it.

    Btw, my lenovo with "low power" mode only run (and detected) at 798MHz and thus making the score lower.

    Thx - had already set the Power Management to "Performance".
    Ran the test again and got 15.191s this time with Aero disabled.
    All tests were made with my settings as normal, and with my Anti Virus enabled.

    you should disabled your anti-virus because your AV actually scanning files in the background.

    you will get better score with AV disabled.

    Use 1.55 its what all the other scores are on and what is used for the hwbot database.
