Super Pi question

[bigjimmyauk]

just trying to gather how much fater modern proccy are to old ones if i run Super Pi to 8M it takes about 7 minutes to calculate on my rig in sig just wondered if anyone out there uses it and how long it takes them on somthing like a i7 920

Specs as per sig

Spec in sig @ 4GHz.

::edit::

Here's my fastest ever 1m @ 4.6GHz.

WOW so 4 times faster than what i have now. so ravens extra 200Mhz gives a 3 second advantage. what would the stock speed of the i7 920 do it in do you think and would stuff like hyperthreading and turbo help it at all..

don't worry not a maths geek just it's the proccy i'm looking at getting

Its not an i7 but my q9400 @ 3.5 didnt do bad

hyperthreading dos'nt help it as that version of superPI is a single threaded application, so even if u had 100 cores, it would only use 1.

Turbo does help as it overclocks the cpu.

You can't really compare SuperPi runs between modern AMD and Intel chips tbh.

The programme runs much much better on Intel machines. Something like video-encoding would be a much better comparison than S-Pi.

My trusty old e7500 makes me smile.
