Flops for your PC

[The Dank Knight]

So been watching some programmes on supercomputers and how they run at X amount of Petaflops and was wondering how many my own machine ran at.

I've not got the most up to date machine, but I'd say it's probably better than the average computer so I was interested to see what It could achieve.
I ran a test and found that it was running at 77 GigaFlops, I overclocked my CPU from 3.5Ghz (Default) to 4.5Ghz and then re-ran, this gave me the number of exactly 100 GigaFlops.

I looked around on the internet with people claiming that 3000 series intel chips should be hitting around 130 Gigaflops and wondered if anyone else had numbers I could compare to.

I used the program QwikMark 0.4 to measure the performance and my system specs are listed below.

Thanks for helping

My machine is at 98 GFlops..  

 

It's in my sig.

GFlops just sounds funny.  Maybe I'm crazy.

They don't sound as bad as Petaflops

77 Gflops

i5 6500

double post (sorry)

triple post (sorry!)

Clocked higher than mine and with a more recent CPU, I'd of expected a higher amount.

Well played Sir!

 

Anyways, just hit the "run" button right?  

 

5960x @ 4.7 = 423 Gigaflops.  Whatever the hell that means.

It means that your CPU can perform 423,000,000,000 (423 billion) floating-point operations per second, floating-point being numbers with decimals involved.

 

My i7-4720HQ can do 71 GFLOPS at 3.4 GHz.

Thanks for the breakdown bud!

 

Oddly enough, running this benchmark doesn't seem very stressful on CPU, but if you run the FPU only stress test on AIDA64, shit gets fun in the temperature department.

It's a single-core test. Does AIDA run the test on all cores?

Yes, AIDA64 (FPU only) stress test runs all cores and it can send you into dangerous temps in a heartbeat even at lower clock speeds.

yeah I can only manage 40FLOPS with this C2Q

can someone please tell me why I hit the post button one time and it posts twice? that's just beyond annoying

The last forum update broke some things. @colonel_mortis is probably working on it, so bear with him.
