Number of Cores vs. GHz

[DKTronics]

DKTronics: Many of these numbers are just us turning things on and off though
(1732 uses mVU for vu0 macro, 1830 uses sVU, which does more clamping.)

Now, You had to go and spoil the magic, didn't you
Perhaps, if you keep on doing more clamping, you could have some build names like "Traffic Warden" build ?
sorry,

Well, I said "many" of them. Sometimes its genuine optimizations

[Cole]

Ok, here's my bench.

With the same setting as rama.

I did that test too
cd2 3,5ghz gf9500gt PCSx2 r1726 gsdx 1600 and result is around 150 i think i am gpu limited

of course without speed hacks

[Zeydlitz]

If GSDX show CPU usage 99% -- it's means that test is GPU limited, and otherwise (CPU usage lower than 75%) -- CPU limited.

[Elwin]

hm its not than, it was limited with dx9. i had 99% all the time, now with dx10 i can get e.g 30-40% usage on SC3.
