Hi ALL!!!

I have a small performance problem, my pentium d930 performs "just" 68 pints in xbench, everything works fine hd and graphics performs really good just the cpu not, I've tried few things with no efford: kernels mifki, deamonES, semtex. In boot I can see starting cpu=1 (does it means that only one core is active) In system profiler I can see 2 cpus in activity monitor as well. My mobo is P5LD2 with 945 but not the 2.0 revision.

please post complete xbench results...

wait, if you mean just cpu-score... and not total score, then there is no real problem.

68 is completely normal for your cpu.

The problem is mainly that xbench is testing some areas your processor is not quite good in (Altivec/FFT VecLib or something) so the result is not reallly representative for the real life performance of the d930.

Just browse the xbench result-archives and compare your cpu with other intel mac's..

Overall a d930 should perform quite nicely while working in OSX.

My Xbench results made while other programs where runing (Transmission).

I`ve seen some benchmarks made on P820 with 110 to 130 points (just the cpu) in Xbench, so why mine performs so poorlly?

 

Thanks, for fast replays!!!

I'd use GeekBench. Xbench seems to be OK only for comparing like processors, not for comparing two different types of processor. My 3.6GHz P4 scored 65 on the Processor test in XBench, while my 1.25GHz G4 scored 48 I believe. GeekBench showed a much bigger difference - about 2200 vs 700.

When you take a look at my Geekbench score you can see processor info:Logical Processors: 2 Physical Processors: 1. That means that only one core is active, isn't it? So when you sarahbau scored about 2200 with yours P4: 3.6 (single core I assume) that is the proof that only one core is working in my system. Am I wright? When yes than how can I active my second core? As I written before I have seen some benchmarks made on Pentium D 820 with 130 score in Xbench!

"Logical Processors: 2 Physical Processors: 1"

There is only one physical processor on Pentium D, so it's right to see only one processor.

I have D820, and my system profiler shows me one processor and two cores (which is right).
