Hello all! I recently changed my CPU I had Intel Celeron E3300 stock speed 2.5 Ghz and I bought used one Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 runing at stock speed of 2.66Ghz. I was concerned that processor would not be so powerful as it used to be because it's old like 5,6,7 years and I know over time it's losing power because of heat .
So I tested it on PassMark bench test for CPU . I got score around 3k(first time i tested I got around 2.7k in later tests score incresed to little less then 3k) and score on site avg for this processor was 3429 . I were testing it on windows 8.1 32bit with only 2.5 GB of ram and on PassMark softwere version 11 . I saw that tests on this processor were done on earlier versions like 7 and 8 because it's really old processor . Also after some research I found out that 64bit processor on 64bit OS will always have best score.
My question : Is there room for me to be upset ? Did he really lose so much power over year ?
Thanks for reading!
