SuperPi score for this Celeron-D too low?

[DJ Bobo]

I have this Celeron-D 320 CPU (2.4GHz Prescott) coupled w/ DDR333 memory (single channel), and I get about 1m25s in the 1M test of SuperPi.

It seems too slow to me.

Is this normal?

see how much overclocking they have to do ?

note that superpi is single threaded so is only testing 1 core on more modern cpus(not the 320 as that is single core). even so my athlon x2 4000+ scores 48s with it. really something like multiprime or wprime should be used for multicore cpus since they are threaded tests.

intel really hamstring/limit celerons so this should really not come as any surprise.

Hmm... I don't see any SuperPi results at stock speed there...

NB: this is Celeron-D, not Pentium-D. I think the D in Celeron-D means "Desktop" or something, it's not a dual core CPU.

look at what they are overclocking to to get faster times than you.

ok after a little searching i found this

look at result 104. CleverIdiot - Celeron D 320 @ Stock.

it's not a dual core CPU.

to quote myself in my last post

Ah, alright, he's got 1m26s, about the same.

Good, but if anyone has more results, please don't hesitate to post them, just to confirm.
