waitingForTheMiracle, did you use perogue's stats tool to tally your results?

@skgiven No, I just sorted Results Status by return time and copied 24 hours worth to a spreadsheet. Somewhat fiddly, so not something I'd like to do on a daily basis.
----------------------------------------I'll try out pirogue's tool one of these days, see if I can get it to run in Wine on Linux. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 23, 2011 3:07:10 PM] |

Ah well, HP finally recalled my SB latop w/ chipset issue, decided to get my $ back and wait for an updated Mac at some point. At least almost 4 complete months of crunching on fast loaner h/w courtesy Intel & HP

That's awesome!
----------------------------------------I'm waiting for later SB (6 core coming I think?) or LGA 2011. Or we could wait for 22 nm Ivy bridge next year...  |

I've searched everywhere but can't find good answer. How much more productive 2600k (HT) is compared to 2500k when crunching WCG WUs? Anyone tried for example with WCGDAWS?

A stock i7-2600K can do 35% more than a stock i5-2500K at Folding.
----------------------------------------At WCG there are many projects, so you would have to run each individually and then in combinations to find out how much faster the i7-2600K was. Then there are other physical and software concerns; using the same RAM, Motherboard, Hard Drive... The operating systems would need to be identical, and other apps would need to be minimal. So WCGDAWS would give you a reasonable idea, but might not be accurate enough, especially if the data contained systems that went to sleep/hibernated or had a low power mode in operation. Several system reviewers now run a folding@home comparison. I have asked a few Boinc projects to have a test similar to Folding, but no uptake. Pity saying as the reviewers were very keen on the idea, several even have teams! http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1501/19/ [Edit 1 times, last edit by skgiven at Aug 21, 2011 9:07:59 PM] |

Pity saying as the reviewers were very keen on the idea, several even have teams! http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1501/19/ I'd be pleased even with a rough comparison of these two. Using same clock frequencies (though maybe not necessary, as WCGDAWS give you points/GHz), same OS and same set of projects would be enough for me. Like you said, it is really difficult to use F@H statistics to benchmark how other projects would manage with same hardware. Also not to mention, F@H has some new code (BIGADV) for HT supporting systems.
