Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

The official CPU benchmark thread was closed, so there's no where to post Anandtech's results...hence this thread.  As new benchmark results come out I will most likely add them to this thread; if in the future other PC hardware review websites run the Dolphin benchmark then I'll rename the thread and add their results as well.


Note, this is not a "post your benchmark results!" thread, I just felt that Anandtech's results should also be posted somewhere on the "dolphin-emu.org" domain.

UPDATE: This is also not an "AMD sucks" or  "Intel is corrupt" thread; please take such discussions elsewhere.

Then you might want to upload them somewhere instead of linking directly to Anandtech's images. If Anandtech decides to take down the results, they'd go down here as well, since those are their images on their server.

I've considered it and still haven't ruled out the idea, but I figured it's hardly critical since they still host images for reviews from over 10 years ago: http://www.anandtech.com/show/1293/21

EDIT: I've re-uploaded all the images to my personal Minus account. I've also re-compressed the images with APNG Optimizer to reduce the filesizes a bit because I'm just OCD like that.

EDIT 2: I've also uploaded the images as attachments but I'll leave the embedded images to link to Minus. The idea is to have multiple sources for the images for better long-term server redundancy.

Apologies for double posting, but it's been a week.

So what the crap. Why is it sometimes when I add an attachment it puts the newly uploaded file at the beginning of list and other times it puts it at the end?

Now the images in the attachments are out of order.

That is very annoying.

It does that because it's minus. Also beware that mobile users (if we have any) find it takes ages for anything on minus to load. When I'm not on a system so fast it makes no difference, the fastest common hosting services are imgur for stills, and gfycat for gifs (as they use HTML5-based video to do the same job as gifs, but in higher quality, and a fraction of the file size).

What are you talking about? I'm referring to the forum attachments uploaded directly from my computer, not my Minus gallery (which works flawlessly BTW).

Um, I'm linking to the image file directly, not to the image page; the amount of time it takes to render the Minus website is moot point. Besides, I absolutely hate when people don't link to the direct image file since the web-page view rarely ever shows the image in full size and it takes moderately longer to render when my Brisbane is underclocked to 1GHz (which is usually when I'm just doing basic web browsing).

Imgur likes to turn PNGs into JPEGs, and therefore I only use them for when I need to upload a random image to show somebody on a one-off time rather than retain a gallery and such. I also much prefer using APNGs rather than GIFs.

It automatically appends the jpg extension, but, like linux, it doesn't care about the extension, just the file header. On the one image I've uploaded that it's changed the extension of, there's still no visible JPEG artefacts.

EDIT: Accidentally a letter.

I am already aware of this. However, if you upload a large enough PNG it'll actually encode it to JPEG.

For example, here's a 2.14MB PNG image:
http://i.minus.com/ibgkOByIHu3g9f.png

When I upload it to Imgur, it gives me this:
http://i.imgur.com/K3D0qhj.jpg

Right away without even viewing the image I can see that the filesize of the latter image is only 253KBs so the image was definitely re-encoded, and the JPEG artifacts only confirm that.

I have to agree with you on this, as there's a clear difference there. I'm still going to say imgur performs better on smaller images and gfycat is better on anything which moves but has no sound.
