[SOLVED] Is my cpu underperforming?

[Matthughes576]

Hello! Recently, I switched out my e5 2670 for an e5 1650 for the higher clock speeds. However, the cinebench scores seem to be lower than what I anticipated. After three runs I am averaging 858 on multicore and 117 on singlecore. Is this lower than normal?

P.S. running at stock speeds and cinebench r15

Just to be 100% clear here....

You swapped from an 8core/16thread, 20MB "smartCache" E5-2670 (2.6 to 3.3GHz)
to a 6core/12thread, 12MB "smartCache" E5-1650 (3.2 to 3.8GHz)

You traded 25% of your core/thread count and 40% of cache.....for a ~20% clock speed boost....


The only logged multi-core(s) I can find are stock @ 697CB and overclocked to 4.4GHz and beyond at 1100CB+
https://hwbot.org/benchmark/cineben...Id=processor_3576&cores=6#start=0#interval=20

So, an 858 multicore seems reasonable to me?


Can't find a stock result for a 2670, but I'd assume similar if ~3GHz can net 1000CB?

I plan on buying a DX79TO intel board to overclock this cpu which the 1670 cannot be. I've just had a hard time finding stock scores on this thing. Plus I do not use more than 6 cores at all so the loss in cores does not matter to me.

But, for a multicore CB score, it does? As will the cache reduction.

What scores did you see on the old CPU?

Unfortunately, being an older chip, your 'pool' of people who can just fire up R15 and sanity check your scores is a heck of a lot smaller than it would've been 6 years ago or so.

As a result, digging up information is pretty tough. I think the numbers I quoted above should be in the general ballpark though.
