Anyone benchmark mame with a core i7?
ivwshane:
Just curious. This cpu has been making the rounds and the reviews have been raving about it.
Specifically I'm wondering how it runs the unplayable games like mk4 (god awful game by the way).
BASS!:
Don't bother. I get no sound stutters and perfect play with a e8400 w/ 2gb ram clocked at 3.8hgz running xp64. You can build out an awesome e8400 rig for half the price.

Also an option for those with a computer that cant quite cut it. MK Gold seems to run better on a Dreamcast Emu. But yeah the game sucks lol so why bother.
:dunno
u_rebelscum:
Check out the numbers of a 940 i7 at mameworld.info
Looks like mame doesn't benefit as much as some (most?) other applications & benchmarks (but more than a couple), with the i7. For now, the core 2TM dual/quad cpu is the best bang for reasonable bucks.

Sorry to revive a nearly dead thread, but I'm about to do some formal benchmarking on the i7 2600k soon, and I thought this would be the best place to put the info, since it's relevant.
First blush reports show MK4 running for 180 seconds at an average of 89% with the chip clocked to 4.5ghz.
I'm putting the finishing touches on my test rig and I'm hoping to get 5.1ghz stable on air cooling. Then I'll start my benchmark tests.
