Intel i5 3350P score correct?
I recently purchased a new XPS 8500 from Dell. The CPU is a i5 3350P with 8 gig of DD3 and a nvidia GT620 card (I know that is bery low end). This was the only i5 CPU available. After the purchasae I came across a web site called cpu boss I think and it listed the Geekbench for the 3350p at 7862 and the i5 3450 at 11,801! Can this be possible? Or is this because the 3350p has no dedicated graphics? THe benchmarks on this website are much closer. Am I not understanding something? Please help me set myself at ease. Of course I would have bought the i7 3770 if I could have afforded it. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your message. I'm not familiar with the CPU Boss website, but their Geekbench score for the Core i5 3450 is quite high. Our chart puts the Core i5 3450 at ~8,150 points.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to help out.
Best,
John

Thank you for your response John. One other thing I notice is that there is no 64 bit score for the Intel i5 3350P. Is this because this is a fairly new processor and there is not enough data? Lastly, so in your opinion would you say that the 3450 and 3350P are comparable in real world performance save for lack of GPU in the 3350P? I don't game and will generally be using my XPS 8500 for media streaming, entertainment, etc. at home. But I do understand the 3450 is slightly faster. Thank you again for your time.

Hi Bob,
We generally have more data for 32-bit performance than 64-bit performance so newer processors like the 3350P don't always show up on our 64-bit chart.
The performance of the 3350P and the 3450 are quite comparable. You'd be hard-pressed to notice a difference in real-world scenarios.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to help out.
Best,
John
