Resolved Just did a Geekbench test on my 2011 MBP 2.2GHz, and... *UPDATE* (PROBLEM SOLVED)

[crazichik]

Do u guys think I should go to the Apple Store to have them check this?

If ur computer is still working just fine, I don't see a reason for u too. U shouldn't take these scores too serious.

For some reason it is annoying to me that I only get the 10000+ score when my MBP is plugged, but everything is working fine.

I don't know if this is good enough reason for trip to the Apple Store. I do have until Sunday (when my 14 days return policy is up) to think about it. I just find it odd that everyone is getting the 10000+ score even when there MBPs aren't plugged, and I keep getting 7000-8000.

Just take this week to think about it, see if your computer is still working fine, and if u have any issues, just take it to the Apple Store over the weekend.

Just for the heck of it, I did another Geekbench test, and this time I used the 64bit

Your Memory and Stream seems to be normal, but your Integer and Floating Point seem a little low.

Something is wrong with your laptop, I suggest taking it to Apple for a doctors checkup.

Doofus. Of course it is lower if not plugged in. It's not using the discrete 1gb gfx card. That is why your score will always be lower.

Plugged or unplugged, the MBP is always using the 1gb card, unless u choose not to.

OP: Glad u resolved the problem

thats a negative.
the dedicated card is only used if OpenGL or OpenCL is called.

Do you know why the RAM was this issue? What brand was it?

No idea why the RAM was causing the problem. And it's a OWC

Ouch, I was going to get an 8gb upgrade kit from them. Ater hearing this, I'm not so sure anymore..

 

[daneoni]

Just ran mine unplugged and got this.

Edit: Seems the OP solved his issue.

I am seeing the same thing with my 2011 2.3Ghz 15" Macbook Pro. 32-bit Geekbench scores around 10500 plugged in and 8800 unplugged with 8GB of Crucial memory. I just don't understand how this is caused by the ram. I put the stock 4gb of ram and still see a difference in scores, although not as much.

 

[adrian1480]

9813 score here.

full disclosure: I have Fidelia open playing a FLAC song, Chrome open to about 35 tabs, Adium open in a conversation, Mail open, and Reeder open. I even heard Fidelia skipping the song during the test.
