Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. I was only speaking to the way turbo works. I wasn't trying to bring any clock for clock performance comparison up; I didn't even realize there where benchmarks on that site. I am well aware of how Ivy compares to Sandy in benchmarks and am not trying to dispute them regardless as to how close or far apart they are in dolphin.

Ah I see. Still...
You should've waited man. Haswell is right around the corner.

That 2500K result is mine. Oddly enough, a similar clocked 3570K still doesn't outdo my result.

Whats your other specs. Could be less background applications.

could be slightly faster ram. who knows... all margin of error type stuff. |:

I'm on Windows 8 Pro x64, other specs are in my signature. Also, my game region is PAL so I had to use Shonumi's save from Page 2.

Thought I'd do this again as you said I did one of the saves incorrectly or something (with the salesman boat, right?) Same as before, but new clocks - the frames are slightly better. Specs and validation are in my sig once again.

Thank you very much for participating.
No, you should take it when the salesboat is gone. Give the game a few seconds to dispose of him too.
Could you retake the first one without it?

Ah, I see that your 2500K is at 5.15GHz. I'll add your result once you've updated your post.

Is there a reason why using the official (and far better) 3.5 isn't recommended for benchmark tests?

It didn't exist when the benchmark started.

Do you think there will ever be a benchmark test thread for it?


Edit: Never mind. Will run some tests.

Probably. Like this benchmark used 3.0 stable, the latest stable release at the time, future cpu benchmarks would probably use 3.5 stable. Unless 4.0 was already out. I guess there is nothing stopping anyone from creating another benchmark at any time.

It would fracture the results and force us to start all over again. And there is no benefit to doing it.

No biggie, I'll post my results below.

And now for the benchmark tests! Glad to finally contribute now that I actually have a machine I can test on.
