Speed by Processor type

[IronBits]

This is shamelessly being pulled from a post by BlisteringSheep over on Ars Forum.
I'm afraid the thread will roll off and this good information will be eventually lost or hard to find.

It really depends on the specific chip. All of my P4-Xeons have had higher aggregate rates with using all HT cores. My 3.06 GHz Northwood, running WinXP, is faster with just using one core, while the 3.20 GHz Nocano, also running WinXP, is faster while using both cores. Here are some rates gathered from currently running machines, not from -bench or -benchmark. Unless otherwise specified, all x86's are running 32-bit Linux, all PowerPC's are running 64-bit Linux, and all cores are active (num_threads=-1):

• 3.06 GHz Northwood, using both HT cores, WinXP, 11 Mnodes/s/core, 22 Mnodes/s aggregate
• 3.06 GHz Northwood, using one core, WinXP, 29 Mnodes/s
• 3.20 GHz Nocano, using both HT cores, WinXP, 17 Mnodes/s/core, 33-34 Mnodes/s aggregate
• 3.20 GHz Nocano, using one core, WinXP, 28 Mnodes/s
• Random other timings:
• Intel
• 2.83 GHz E5440, 44 Mnodes/s/core
• 2.8 GHz HT Xeon, 13-14 Mnodes/s/core
• 2.8 GHz Xeon (non-HT), 17 Mnodes/s/core
• 2.5 GHz Northwood (non-HT), 26 Mnode/s
• 2.40 GHz HT Xeon, 13 Mnodes/s/core
• 200 MHz Pentium MMX, 1.3 Mnodes/s
• AMD
• Opteron 240, 17-18 Mnodes/s/core
• 1.0 GHz Athlon, 13 Mnodes/s
• Misc
• 400 MHz UltraSPARC-IIi, Solaris 6, 4.7 Mnodes/s
• Sony Playstation 3, 64-bit Linux, 227-232 Mnodes/s
• PowerPC
• 2.5 GHz PPC970MP, 23-24 Mnodes/s/core
• 2.3 GHz PPC970FX Xserve, 22 Mnodes/s/core
• 2.2 GHz PPC970FX, 20-21 Mnodes/s/core
• 2.0 GHz PPC970 PowerMac, 19 Mnodes/s/core
• 1.9 GHz POWER5, 11-12 Mnodes/s/core
• 1.65 GHz POWER5, 10-11 Mnodes/s/core

This represents 10 full days of processing for all nodes. ps10 was crunching RC5 for about 5 hours at this snapshot.

3.6Ghz Quad

At that speed 7 min might the longest he could run it without blue-ing out

That PC runs 24/7
I stopped the service and loaded up dnetc to get the interface up.

It is fsb.
see pic below

[IronBits]

Nice!
What are
netmon
netmon2
fsb
dload

They crank almost like a PS3

The netmons are 8 way Xeons, old 2.8ghz Netburst.
Thats eight cores, 16 wih HT but i disable that in the bios.
I used to run Network Monitoring tools on them when the pharm was bigger.


dload and dc6 are q6600's running at 3.2Ghz.
dc6 only just got upgraded to a quad so it's total isn't very high but it will rise through the ranks i'm sure.

fsb is a Q6600 running at 3.6Ghz, it is a nice chip and does that speed at low vcore.
I will be changing that PC from a file server into my video encoding box shortly.

Rest of the boxes are dual cores in the main, xp-game being the only noteworthy one as it's the new 45nm Wolfdale.
Clocks really well.

BTW
old-game is my retro box running win98se and dos some times

[IronBits]

Very nice pharmage my friend.

[PCZ]

Thanks IB

I'm trying to get back into the game.
Need to replace those old boxes with Quads.
Have a plan to replace one old box a month with a quad to upgrade the pharm.

Each new cruncher is
Gigabye P35 DS3L, q6600, Freezer 7 pro and 2 gigs of geil.
My old 400 watt PSU's seem to cope fine with the quads.

Those Gigabyte P35's are real nice for the price..

Ouch Did not see It is for instore only But I have one down the way from me if need be

This is from the repeatable dnetc benchmark function. Live WUs aren't repeatable and can vary quite a bit.
