specs of my MP 6,1:
32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3
D300 graphics
256GB SSD
Of note is that this Mac is Bootcamp configured and runs Win10. I just yesterday finished the chip install and then updated OS to 12.7.6 and then Geekbenched it.
Hello - I'm a complete newbie to Geekbench and benchmarking in general. Never had much interest in it to be honest. But, I recently purchased a nicely preserved MP 6,1 and it had the base chip 3.7ghz 4-core in it. I wanted to see how much quicker it could potentially be and so I bought a used E5-2695V2 2.4ghz 12-core chip off eBay and installed it. No problems with the swap thankfully and the MP booted fine and appears to be in good working order. While I had it apart, I thoroughly cleaned the machine and put new thermal paste on both GPU's as well as the newly installed chip.
I really wish I'd Geekbenched it before I did the swap, but that's now water under the bridge (although, of course, I could tear it all down again and reinstall the original chip and benchmark it). The focus of my post today is to ask for advice/comments on the results of the benchmarking I did after the swap. Again, being a complete newbie to benchmarking and Geekbench, I don't know if I should be concerned with these scores:
single-core: 524
multi-core: 1094
I think the single core score is kinda low, but from what I can tell, the multi-core score is perhaps a third of what it should be.
If anyone with deep knowledge of this could comment, I'd appreciate it. Wondering if there is an issue with the 12-core chip maybe?
