i5 Processor only 5.2 SubScore in Windows Experience Index?

[Outlier_81]

This may be a really dumb question...

But I use a Intel i5 2.67GHz. I noticed today that my Windows Experience Index score was at 5.2, and that was because of the processor.

Why is it such a low score? Could this meant here might be something wrong with my chip, or am I not utilizing it properly?

I recently started fresh on a new SSD, and I don't remember my processor score being this low on the previous install.

Unless you are using a REALLY old I5 it should not be registering that low. All I can think of off the top of my head is that maybe somehow you have a couple of cores disabled in the bios causing it to not be functioning at full potential.

What version of Windows? Do you have a non-overclocked i5-750?

The WEI is not even in W 10 for a reason. Don't concern yourself with the WEI score as it is pretty much irrelevant.

Like TbsToy said, pay no attention to WEI. Use other software to diagnose cpu issues if you believe you have any.
