Mac Pro GeekBench-Whats your score?

My MacPro 1,1 (8-core x5355) currently gets between 10,320 to 10,410 depending which way the wind is blowing and whether or not it's hanging to the right or to the left. :p

This is my base Mac 4,1 (W3520) (flashed to 5,1 firmware) w/32GB ram - 8260.

Just built a i7 3770K hacintosh for my partner for with a samsung 840Pro 256, 32GB, NZXT case/sealed radiator cooling for around $1200. Without overclocking the cpu is hitting 14,500+ on geekbench 64-bit. The chip is unlocked at 3.5Ghz and will easily push to 4.3Ghz. Haven't had time to push it yet.

My '09 MacPro with a 3.33 i7 975 hits around 11,300 (just ran it with an assortment of idle in the background)
 
I have a 4 year-old early 2009 Nehalem 4.1 W3520, with 1 processor @ 2.66 gHz, 4 cores. Running with the original 640GB HDD boot drive and with 7GB RAM installed, Geekbench gave me about 8200 yesterday

Today I added a Samsung 840 SSD boot disk and an 8GB DIMM, bringing my installed RAM to 14GB. With just these two changes, my Geekbench score rose to just over 9200. After reading many comments in this thread, I'm planning on upgrading to a 6-core W3680, which should provide a substantial boost. I'll repost when the job is done. I'm hoping for something in the 15-16K range.

Question - I haven't enabled Trim support for the 840 SSD - would doing that improve my overall score?


Note added later: I enabled trim using Trim Enabler. Now my Geekbench score is a healthy 9421. That's an improvement of almost 15% just by adding an SSD and more memory.

Hi MassMacMan. Enabling the trim support may only give minimal boost in your score as far as I know though I may be wrong. Somehow, in observing Geekbench scores, they seem to be more dependent on CPU number of cores and the clock speed. If you upgrade to a 6 core 3.33ghz I think your score will increase substantially to 14000+ or higher. The increase in ram seem to have minor effect on Geekbench score.

Just built a similarly-specced i7 3770K hacintosh (but for myself, and with a Lian Li PC-V700 case). Moderate overclock to 4.4Ghz - runs stable and cool, geekbench score of ~16,700.
 
Virtualized mac score

Is any one else running osx virtualized ?

Mission accomplished!

I posted earlier in this thread here that I had an early 2009 quad 2.66 Mac Pro that I wanted to upgrade. Today the W3680 chip and Arctic Silver kit arrived, and it took me all of 20 minutes (working carefully and slowly) to swap out the CPU chip. I had already upgraded the firmware to 5.1, added a 500GB SSD, and upped the RAM to 14GB to arrive at a Geekbench score of 9421. On my first shot at Geekbench after today's CPU swap I'm getting a score of 15317. Probably if I can find and shut down all the background tasks, the score might be a little higher, but for now color me happy.

Just ran it again with a bunch of other software running.
20181... up 108.
I thought GB was supposed to run better as the only open app.
Anybody know why it would score higher?
