hehehe Just quick benched my test rig K6-2/450 (OC'd to 550).

Turned out a 1M SuperPi run in a blazing 8 mins. 20 secs. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Intel!!!

(each one of those procs has 2 cores, 8x2= 16 CPU's.)



Whooooollllyyyy Crap! I think you just found the mother of my future children.....


Couple that with 128GB of ram (yes you can do that), and you'll be set to go.

Does it matter (in this case)? SuperPi is single-threaded.

Though if you wanted to calculate pi out to 1 million digits 16 times concurrently, that would be the system to use.

nope,

high frequency CPU and low latency couple with high speed RAM gets you a better super PI time. Not amount of RAM and amount of cores

Oh crap boyz. My system just threw down the gauntlet. 1207 in 3DMark 2000.

K6-2 = 2
Intel = 0

Edit:

Just laid the smack down in 3DMark 2001SE: 493 Baby... Will the good times never end?

K6-2 = 3
Intel = 0.2 (I feel sorry for them)

:Chubby;

- M4H

But I think that is a four way set-up using 8 way opterons. Since it shows 8 CPU's. I believe a true 8 way dual core setup would show 16 CPU's during post.

Some how, I cannot belive your score. Modern Athlon FX's with low latency 2GB Dual Channel DDR500 Can not break 19-20 Minutes, even if they are overclocked. My P3 1.4 GHz Tualatin with the Full Speed 512k Cache can do it in about an hour and a half.

Googer: that thread you linked to has 32M SuperPi scores. phaxmohdem did just a 1M run.

by the way, I just noticed that "slowest time" record...I might have to fire up my parent's old Pentium 200 to try and break it...:-D

I hope you are not serious. He tested with a K6-2/450 and that score is for a 1m run not a 32m run.

I almost think I need to pull out my Pentium II 450 rig to test your dominance my man. HMMMMM, should I? Nahh, that sounds like way too much work, LOL

Ok, then I might believe him. But I do just want to make note that it is super easy to make a false claim about Super PI times, the out put is very easy to hack or manipulate.

I had Super PI on my computer but cannot find it. I also cannot remember where you download it from.

HA yea right don't make me get my DEC working again. Its 5mHz or so... And not enough RAM or ROM to hold the program even if it had an OS that could support it... (it doesn't even have a GUI)
In your face!
lol

Yes funny but very very sad. The thing is huge and the monitor has like 3 coaxial cables running from the computer. If I really wanted to get a good record I'd get my 80mHz Mac. Or I suppose I could use the computer I built myself... 2.2gHz 64-bit running Mandrake 10.2. But thats no fun :p
