I updated the Mac Performance chart earlier today which means it’s time to update the PC Performance chart. The latest chart includes a number of new processors:

  • AMD Athlon X2 6000+
  • Intel Celeron 430
  • Intel Pentium E2140
  • Intel Pentium E2160
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E4400
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6850

Since this chart, like the last PC Performance chart, is based on results from the Geekbench Browser, there are a number of potential problems with the chart (like how do you account for differing hardware like motherboards and memory). I believe that by averaging results for each processor you can account for some (if not all) of the differences in hardware (like motherboards and memory); you might not get incredibly accurate results, but the results should give you a rough idea of the performance you can expect from a particular processor.

Setup

Results were collected from Geekbench 2 for Windows running on PCs with at least 512 MB of RAM and with processors that weren’t overclocked.

I’ve reported the average overall score for each model and processor combination, where 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz would receive. Higher scores are better.
