4Ghz Core 2 Duo vs M.A.M.E. 0.120 (benchmark results)
Hyperfan:
Been reading this but im a bit confused.
Im looking to build a new mame machine. I was going to get this cpu Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz Socket LGA1156 8MB L3 Cache
Is this a good move or should i get a duel core?
DillonFoulds:
@ihmedia: benchmarks are your best bet. Tom's Hardware Guide will be an invaluable resource to you. In the List i linked, find your CPU, and it will be paired with a score, compare the score between CPUs, and you'll have an idea of how it ranks at the task given it.

--- Quote from: Neverending Project on September 18, 2009, 11:25:03 am ---I'm looking for some tips on the following system (I have been pouring over the recommended setups here on the forums - thanks taz-nz and everyone!). I have never overclocked before, so my goal is to hit something as fast as I can but I don't need 4+ GHz. I also want to keep the costs down as much as possible, preferably under $400 if possible (although I don't see how that is possible considering Vista 64 is $100). I already have an HD.

Any tips for reducing costs? Can I just mount all the components on the inside of the arcade cabinet and forget the case, or will this adversely affect cooling? Yes, no.
Edit: Oh, and this will be for MAME only - no PC games or other emus. Kthanksbye.
Edit again: Just reread this previous post answering my question about the case (not necessary). Coolio.

Thanks for posting this list. I ended up buying any of the same items as you (especially the motherboard and the cooler, although I did buy the E8400), and I was shocked by how easy it was to overclock to 4Ghz even though I had never overclocked before. I probably could have bumped it up to anywhere from 4.2-4.8Ghz on air cooling (and judging by how many people have done it, it shouldn't be that difficult), but I just wanted 4 with reasonable voltage/temperatures. My only real problem came when the motherboard had my RAM voltage too low. Setting it to 2.1 (the recommended manufacturer setting) had it working in no time, and 27 hours of Prime95 (with no errors) later, I'm running a 4.05Ghz PC w/4GB of RAM for $466 (not counting rebates). :applaud: Not too shabby at all.

Well everyone, its been a few months and there are new processors out there for benchmarking. Specifically, the Core i5/i3 processors built on Intel's 32nm process. I am particularly interesting in the Core i5 since the stock clock speeds seem to be pretty high and with the 'turbo' ability to push even higher.
So has anyone had a chance to see how MAME runs on one of the new Core i5 processors?

Ok so it's been over a year since I've posted anything in this thread, but I'm back a happy to annouce I have some new toys to play with for a few days in the form or the Intel Core i5 655K and Core I7 875K unlocked CPUs.
My kitchen table currently looks like this:
Currently I have the I5 655K running stablily at 4.6 GHZ. >:D
So the question is now people what do you want benchmarked? My copy of MAME is way out of date, but that's easily fixed, and I can soon undate a rom set of two dozen, so what do what to see, make it fast the CPU have to be back at work on monday :)
