ergot Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 in my spec i have the i7 6 cores, mac seems to see 1 cpu and 6 cores how ever in benchmark test (geek bench) I'm getting the same score for multi score as single score...looks strange, like the program don't see 6 cores but the information coming from mac so...any idea?

Allan Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Open Activity Monitor app, and select the option 2 or 3. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299193-how-to-know-if-my-system-using-all-cores/#findComment-2035313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergot Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) thanks Allan, yes it does show 12 threads (6*2) but why the benchmark showing results so low…what is the best way to run benchmarks? used xbench, the test run like 8 seconds really fast see attached results...are they any good?

ergot Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Cinebench no CPU cores or threads ...see picture...how come? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299193-how-to-know-if-my-system-using-all-cores/#findComment-2035405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 create a SSDT. and in my opinion this bugs happens because the OS X 10.10 still beta, and have many bugs.

Slice Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think Cinebench is not supporting such CPU yet. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299193-how-to-know-if-my-system-using-all-cores/#findComment-2035624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Did you install voodootscsync? Usually you need that for a 6-core. http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/voodootscsync/ make sure to set IOCPUNumber=11 in the info.plist to enable all 6 cores as well as the 6 virtual cores. Also I think clover has a setting that serves the same purpose but I'm not sure. Edit: also, make sure you are NOT using the cpus=1 boot argument! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299193-how-to-know-if-my-system-using-all-cores/#findComment-2039659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
