• Windows 7 Experience Index is Changing

    Posted on March 14, 2009 at 14:01 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I just had a chance to compare Windows Experience Index scores from Windows 7 Build 7000 (that’s the official “beta” version of Windows 7) with the latest, leaked version, Build 7057. I compared the same machine – the $295 screamer I described last week – with absolutely no changes to the hardware. None at all. There are some minor tweaks in the Windows Experience Index and one biggie.

    The minor changes:

    Processor score (Intel Dual E2220 at 2.4 GHz) in Build 7000 was 5.6. In Build 7057 it’s 5.8.

    Memory score (3 GB) in Build 7000 was 5.5. In Build 7057 it’s 5.8. No doubt Microsoft changed the maximum score cap for 3 GB.

    Graphics score (GeForce 8600 GT 256 MB) in Build 7000 was 5.9. In Build 7057 it’s 5.2.

    Gaming graphics score in Build 7000 was 5.3. In Build 7057 it’s 5.2.

    Yawn-inducing, right?

    Here’s the biggie. Confirming the huge change that I talked about two days ago, my Hard disk score in Build 7000 was 3.0, but in Build 7057 it’s 5.7.

    Let me look at the detailed hard disk numbers and I’ll fill you in on details.
