where you say the scores of single and dual cpus are comparable, and thought the same applied between the single thread test and the cpumark.
The reason i thought of that, is because it seems that on dual cores the CPUMark is usually almost double the single-thread score, some more if HT exists.
And on quad-cores the CPUMark is around 4 times the single-thread scores, again more if HT exists.
So i kinda thought, that on single-core CPUs the single-core score and the CPUMark would be the same.
So basically there's no connection at all between the scores.
Basically, i thought you were forcing the exact same "multi-threaded" math problem to be calculated through a single core only, instead of all the cores.
(wouldn't such a test make sense?)
But it seems that the tests are completely different (and the one is just a part of the other as you said)
So many years i had that wrong... Oh well...
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions David.
