Is this benchmark score good enough?

My laptop config is: AMD A8 4500m (1.9-2.8 GHz), 8 GB ddr3 1600 MHz dual channel ram, Amd Radeon Hd 7670m+7640G dual Graphics 1.5 GB, 500 GB SSHD.

Is this normal???? Will An i3 or An i5 score better? Waiting for a quick reply.

It looks like yours is one of the slower ones. If you can afford a faster computer and want to get one, go ahead. When I run

>> bench

this is what I get with my home computer with 64 bit core i5 CPU, 8 GB ram, and hard drives:

My work computer is an 64 bit i7 with 32GB RAM and 1.9 TB of solid state drives. If you have $4200 go for that. I'm sure it will be even faster.

Thanks for answer. But I am mainly talking about a laptop and it's a fact that desktops are way more powerful than a laptop. So pls answer my question wrt a laptop. In general, my laptop is a strong gaming one, running all the current games fluently.

My work computer is a laptop. It's more powerful than my desktop home computer. There are some laptops that are faster than desktops, like in my case. I'll try to remember to post stats on my laptop later.

But anyway, I don't see how that changes my answer of "If you can afford a faster computer and want to get one, go ahead." or why you say "but.....". There are always faster computers. If you're not happy with yours then get a new one.

Dell M6800: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/precision-m6800-workstation/pd?~srd=true&sk=m6800&scat=prod

Surprisingly hardly any faster than my i5 desktop. Actually though, it was twice as fast as any other system, even their fastest Linux machine on 5 of the 6 tests but was slower on the last 3D test. Strange that the 3D gets such a high weight, otherwise my purple bar would be twice an long as any yellow bar!

So u see desktops are in general at par with a workstation laptop. Unfortunately not many students own a workstation. So pls do give me a rough estimate of my laptop's performance KEEPING IN MIND the normal i3 and i5 laptops. i7 would be better I know. Also your workstation scores about 100. mine being a normal amd laptop scores around 40. Is it that bad? Pls note that my 3D performance is a lot better than the second yellow bar in the pic that I have uploaded, (xeon 3.47GHz).

I don't have an i3 or i5 laptop. Maybe someone else will answer or you can ask your classmates. I think there are versions of my computer that are around $1000-$1200. Keep in mind that mine is about as top line as you can get with a wide screen, 1.9 TB SSDs, 32 GB RAM, etc. There are cheaper configurations.
