Hi,

I wonder if anyone running a W700 with Quad (Q9000) has run the passmark 6.1 program?

I would like to know the result...

Please post your machine details (processor, op system, RAM, Video, SSD or not etc.) and the overall Passmark rating.

Thank you very much

FYI.. here is a link to the trial Passmark program: http://www.passmark.com/download/pt_download.htm

Just wondering if anyone can run this test.. I am still looking for comparison to my T60p

Thanks,

I still have my Dell M6400. It shares a bunch of components with the W700:

Quad core Q9100
2GB DDR3
OCZ vertex SSD
Quadro FX 3700M
XP pro 32 bit


OCZ SSD has not had new firmware applied so it's significantly slower than it should be.

Passmark was 1111.5....I don't know how this rating works, but it seems to be not much better than your T60P lol.

Because it is a Dell, of course...

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for taking the time to run the test, I was wondering how a quad core would perform in a notebook.

I hear the firmware upgrade for your SSD makes quite an improvement in performance. I have an older Samsung RBX SSD drive .... and they are not planning to upgrade the firmware which disappoints me..

Thanks again for the report.

I just did a test on my W700, and got a 1264.8. I canceled the optical drive test, and had also downgraded to my FX 2700M NVIDIA card, because I'm selling the machine and that's what the buyer wants, so I would have gotten a better score with twice the gfx GDDR3 memory, and overall better card in the NVIDIA FX3700.

Heavily tested were the RAM (I have 8GB DDR3), the Intel X-18M 80GB SSD Generation 1, the graphics card, and, of course, the CPU (T9900 Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz). Mu full specs are in my sig.

I used Passmark 7 64-bit.

So how does this information help you?

Thanks for the info.. I am using this information to help me decide if an upgrade is worth the expense at this time. The T60p I am currently using is working quite well for normal use but it struggles a little to perform heavy tasks (editing / rendering HD video). A friend of mine has a desktop with the quad core processor.. he can render HD video faster than my T60. He gets passmark of over 3K... so I wondered how the notebook would compare.

Thanks again!

This passmark rating may not provide the full picture. When I do heavy number crunching, such as rendering a huge After Effects project, the M6400 takes 3-4 minutes to render what would be a 30 minute job on X200 tablet.

I wondered about that.. can you help me understand the detail about the large projects you render with After Effects... I am curious about the format and video size of the 4 minute render.

Thanks

I am fooling around with timelapses. A quick render is composed of around 500-600 frames at 5.1mp each, high quality JPEGs, rendered at full or half resolution and at over 90% quality. After Effects seems to easily use all resources available to rage thru any project.
