New Borg - Poor Performance

verbal · 13 Dec 2007 at 15:13

I've borged a Xeon 3050 system running at stock (2.13ghz). I'm running two standard clients on it and I am only getting exactly 100ppd from each core. Running just one client doesn't affect this.

This ppd is on project 892 which I get 130ppd from on a E6320 at stock (1.86ghz)

Can anyone shed any light on why this might be? The Xeon system is doing next to nothing else and is running Server2003, the Core2Duo system is running a few light apps all the time under XP.

Hmm, there is no line mentioning "SSE" specifically just... "Assembly optimizations on if available"

This is the same on my E6320 box

Hmm doesn't explain why the E6320 is out-performing the Xeon. My P4 3.0ghz rigs get more ppd for this WU than the Xeon and the E6320 and so do my Celeron 2.4s!

That's a decent guess beserker...

Unfortunately now one core is getting around 44ppd on project 2527 and the other core is getting 52ppd on 2096. Surely too low for a core2duo based Xeon?
