The exact reason for WHY I never use these types of websites for comparison

gpuboss, cpuboss whatever they are called, feel like it is some sort of automated thing that just generates a magical number, misleading people.

[airdeano]

point of this thread was to?

 

can you elaborate why this is a thing, please.

[minibois]

I dunno man.. Never had good experience with CPU/GPU boss

Its a thing because many people use cpu boss as a point of reference.

 

Cautionary tail I would say.

 

As a matter of fact I have seen people using cpu boss links in debates so its relevant.

 

Dont understand your issue with it.

this^^^ same with canirunit.com all it does is check the specs of the card compared to the devs, but not actually accounting for performance

No winner declared

Too close to call

Yeah right...

Actually this is an example of why CPU Boss is good, and what you should use it for. It's an argument against arbitrary scoring systems rating CPUs marks out of ten, but it gives a lot of other information in a useful side-by-side view: TDP, relative performance in different benchmarks, both in single and multicore situations.

 

So yeah scores are pointless, but there is useful information presented here that would give an intelligent person an idea of what to expect from each.

Exactly, if you are looking at tech products and basing how good they are by "X out of 10 scores" you are doing it all wrong anyway.

Newer manufacturing process             22 nms vs 65 nms        A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor

Is hyperthreaded                                        Yes vs No               Somewhat common; Maximizes usage of each CPU core

Has virtualization support                           Yes vs No               Somewhat common; Boosts performance of virtual machines

Much better PassMark score                15,993 vs 287              Around 55.8x better PassMark score

Supports dynamic frequency scaling         Yes vs No                Somewhat common; Allows for maximum performance when needed, while conserving                                                                                                                                       power and minimizing heat production when not needed

Much better PassMark (Single core)       1,981 vs 630              Around 3.2x better PassMark (Single core) score

Much better PassMark (Overclocked)    8,243.2 vs 784.9          More than 10.5x better PassMark (Overclocked) score

Newer                                                  Jul, 2014 vs Oct, 2006    Release date over 7 years later

More cores                                                      8 vs 1                   7 more cores; run more applications at once

More threads                                                16 vs 1                   15 more threads

Better performance per watt           13.11 pt/W vs 0.51 pt/W       Around 25.5x better performance per wat

Better overclocked clock speed        4.53 GHz vs 3.07 GHz        Around 50% better overclocked clock speed (Water)

 

This says all you need to know

Hi mates

 

see the link check score difference and then tell me how the fuck i can believe this site at all.!!!!

Dont see a problem here?

What are you freaking out over? It looks fine to me.

[Guest Kloaked]

The real nutty thing is you being on CPU boss.

[Tedster]

That the 4790k has better single core performance than the 5960x? It does!

 

Really, it looks fine.

[terrytek]

Normal. Totally normal. Don't freak out.

[OCing Noob]

if there is only 0.2 less score then why anyone will by i7 5960x instead of 4790K?

[Altecice]

if there is only 0.2 less score then why anyone will by i7 5960x instead of 4790K?

 

Why does anyone buy a 290x over a 290?

why does anyone buy a 980 over a 970?

 

'enthusiasts'

 

and yes the 4790k IPC is probs the best out of any CPU. 

[VincentiusIV]

Perfectly normal?

buying a 290X is totally nuts coz of hideous cooling and 980 over 970 is some how justifiable but i think its a waste of money for gamer

Its waste but people want to show off. There really is no reason to have it except for in applicatiosn that can utilize the 8 cores and if you have an OC its a beast.

Why The fish anyone will pay $600 more for 0.2 more performance score ???????

lets say Fish off CPU boss. you tell me plz . how much will i gain in video rendering if i switch to X99 chip? my current rig is in my sig.
