January 10, 201115 yr It'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
January 10, 201115 yr Number 2!!! Yayyyyy. Might get number one if I feel up to it ;)Wow! The 2500 is higher than the 2500k? Seems wrong
January 10, 201115 yr Number 2!!! Yayyyyy. Might get number one if I feel up to it ;)Wow! The 2500 is higher than the 2500k? Seems wrongI was just about to reply that same thing. This test seems a bit out of wack.
January 10, 201115 yr Author Wow! The 2500 is higher than the 2500k? Seems wrongDon'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,
January 10, 201115 yr 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
January 10, 201115 yr 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? V

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
January 10, 201115 yr Yeah, it's just that, and that's why the 980-990X excel tooThe scores of new 2500 / 2600 are very impresive.....Can't wait for a serious benchmark on FSX! Florian
January 10, 201115 yr Commercial Member 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? <a href="http://www.flyaoamedia.com"><img src="http://angleofattack.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/aoasiggy.png"/></a> Nick Collett i5 2500k @ 4.4GHz, GTX 480, 8GB Corsair 8-8-8-24, 300GB WD Velociraptor, Corsair HX850W
January 10, 201115 yr I do video recording for AoA, so need the faster CPU, however will the dual channel memory give a performance hit over triple? 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.

We shall see. Pierre I9 14900K 5.5 64gb ram 6800 RTX5090 Asus Strix Gaming E
January 10, 201115 yr 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!
