Weird cpuboss comparison!

[Captain_Chicken]

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-vs-Intel-Core-i3-3217U

So you're telling me a quad core @3.5ghz is close in performance to a 1.8ghz dual core of similar generation? I know about hyperthreading but what???

CPU Boss is crap

 

Only way to actually compare cpu's is too look at benchmarks

[alexhelvetica]

It is GPU boss. That is why you shouldn't trust it.

[Captain_Chicken]

Ok thanks. For a second I thought it was pointless to build a new pc.

Use UserBenchmark.

so.. at this point i'm convinced cpu boss (and gpu boss) just pulls their reviews out their ass.

[Dobbsjr]

Don't use sites that end with "Boss" if you want a reliable comparison.

[WoodenMarker]

The rating isn't for performance. Scroll down. They have a performance section for a reason.

There are firestrike and geekbench scores on cpuboss.

Use UserBenchmark.

Great website for all sorts of things. 

 

Moved to CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory.

Use UserBenchmark.

i'm backing this, while i have little experience with it, nor fully understand how their benchmarking process works, they pass the sniff test to find any anomalies (like passmark's very obvious r9 295x2 scoring below the r9 290, and the r9 390 scoring below the gtx770)

The benchmarking process of UserBenchmark is user created data. You download a small piece of software to quickly benchmark your system. This data is then compiled and averaged with thousands of other benchmarks.

Hello?

i've actually went over this in a thread quite a while ago, with someone that went ahead and tried. their benchmarking process is strangely short, but accurate somehow.

I don't know how, but it works and it's effective.

[DigitalHermit]

dat amazon price for the i3 tho....

I know pricing here in the Philippines is relatively crap but over 100k PhP for an i3 is just ridiculous...

[MoonlightSylv]

$2,850 for an i3? I could build a Skylake system with two 980ti's! Maybe even an X99!
