I have a Duron 600 running Linux. It usually does about 45-50 kcEM/s, and the stats say "Equivalent power (est): 1.27 Ghz".Originally posted by othello
Hi,
one of my boxes running SoB is a AMD Duron 1200 / 256MB / Win98SE, another is a dual P3 1,13 / 512MB / Linux 2.4.16, running 2 clients.
I'd expect the Linux box to bee about twice as productive as the Windows box, but the Windows box is running at ca. 85 kcEMs/sec, while the Linux box is running at only ca. 75 kcEMs/sec (both clients together). Why?
A friend's Athlon 1700 (Windows) has "Equivalent power (est): 3.18 Ghz".
It seems to me that AMD simply annihilates Intel for this particular application.
Kernel might matter though. My stats were around 38 kcEM/s with a 2.2 kernel, now I upgraded to 2.4.19 with Gentoo patches. But I have no idea about SMP.
