E6600 (4MB L2) CPU ONLY 3 SECONDS FASTER than E6300 (2MB L2) in 32M SuperPI

[dinos22]

yeah that's right

i was (falsely) under impression that E6600 is a fair bit faster at 32M superPI than E6300 as I've tested both CPUs but i was wrong as Before got me to rebench and recheck the difference.............i must have been comparing 1333 strap on E6300 due to high FSB benching i did with it and 1066 strap on E6600 as most of my SuperPI benching was at 3.6Ghz


anyways here is the full story with screenshots to go


FIRST UP E6600ES B1 BIOS SHOTS AND 32M SuperPI RUN:











NEXT UP E6300ES B1 BIOS SHOTS AND 32M SuperPI RUN:











BASICALLY 3 seconds difference........that's it




just in case you think i'm full of Before's also tested this on his two 2M vs 4MB L2 Cache CPUs and here are his results

Here are the good screenies to compare... same clocks, same timings; same tweaking

2M



4M

before used different boards and cpu steppings which might of made a slight difference too.. but still 4MB cache is faster and every second counts if you're in the Pi race

I'm sure there would be more difference in 3D, and Pi 1m (proportional of course)
