dude WEI isn't much of an indicator of performance. There are much better bench-marking tools available which actually give meaningful numbers

for e.g. i had a couple of 7200 rpm HDDs and one of them was a WD black edition which in actual benchmarks is measurably faster than the other seagate one that i had - but both had a 5.9 score on WEI

Windows 7 has its own limitation. Microsoft came up with Windows 8 a better bench-marking than Windows 7.

In Windows 7 I tried OC to i7 2600k and for each value started from 4.0GHz -4.7GHz it says 7.8 for the cpu. But in Windows 8 it is picking up the higher performance as listed in the title post.

And tell u what, Windows 7 remained one of the most popular benchmark thread here in PakGamers. Click the below link:

I agree there are better benchmark softwares than this and I am not saying Windows 8 is best for benchmarking.
