can any one tell me what the wprime score for amd's TL-58 (1.9ghz) is? i've been looking all over the web and still can't find it![]()

About 48 seconds (guess based on TL-52), there is a thread on NBR that might have.

See the wPrime hall of fame. There's a TL-58 at #32 in the dual core section and it managed 40.652s.

Good job with that link John, was what I was thinking of. There is TL-60 at 43 seconds (behind TL-58). I would like to ask why is there such variation? I mean It is supposed to isolate the CPU so scores should be more consistent. I am aware that processes and open apps can affect but I shut down most and am still slower than what is listed for similar or lower CPU's. Hmm? Screenshots with the next Hall of Fame? Yea I know about "Photoshop"
Anyway, want to point out OS matters (Vista faster than XP). I think my estimate is pretty close to what you should expect, likely better than the fastest posted.
TL-52=55.843 -

The operating system will have some impact on the score but background processes such as virus scanners or indexing will also have an effect since they are all demanding a share of the CPU time.
Some people temporarily close all the unnecessary processes while benchmarking and others do not. So it easy to get a 10% spread in the results. I don't think anyone will have fiddled their scores but they may have done some optimisation.
Anyway, wPrime is narrow benchmark which responds to some hardware better than others. Real life may be different.
