Crap! I knew I should have gotten the 2600K instead of the 2500K

Number 2!!! Yayyyyy. Might get number one if I feel up to it ;)Wow! The 2500 is higher than the 2500k? Seems wrong

I was just about to reply that same thing. This test seems a bit out of wack.

Don't forget the numbers are made up of the average CPU's tested, so that means those with and without overclocks. As larger numbers are tested the peculiarities iron themself out fairly quick. The test samples on the Sandy Bridges are really small, as is the 995X. One of those cards you mentioned only has 2 samples and the other 4, obviously with the more powerful CPU not being overclocked beyond it's lower stablemate. That will change. The i7 2600K has 8 tests so far. The 995X has 5Kind regards,

But maybe it is correct. The differences are very very small. Maybe its just a slight data error. It happens.i5-2500k=6,599i5-2500=6,753

The difference between i5-2500K and i7-2600K seems to be impressive. But isn´t that because PassMark loves threads, and therefore 2600K with HT enabled seems to be the winner? AFAIK, HT has almost no use within FSX. Or am I wrong?

Yeah, it's just that, and that's why the 980-990X excel too

The scores of new 2500 / 2600 are very impresive.....Can't wait for a serious benchmark on FSX!

I do video recording for AoA, so need the faster CPU, however will the dual channel memory give a performance hit over triple? I currently run: i7 920 @ 4GHz. 6GB 1600MHz at 7-7-7-20For sandy bridge, would 8GB be better than 4GB?It seems strange to go from 6GB 7-7-7-20 triple channel to 4/8GB DUAL channel, despite the processor speed increase! Is that an issue?

PassMark has very little to do with FSX performance.

Just so you know Nick... the transcoding speed increases require that a video card is not installed... Still it would be worth swapping it out no less.
891Capture.pngIt's late, 2011 already! Do you know where your computers are? Check here!The World's most powerful CPU'sI am number 37, but very looking hard at number 3... :Love: Where is your computer at?Kind regards
I'm at 47 or so, and number 3 is on its way with a bunch of other stuff for the new PC.Everyone is waiting to see how SB will perform manage FSX. We shall see.

My result is 7033. Guess kinda crappy...Someone else do a test?? You can install and run it for free anyway, so why just not try!
