recomend some good CPU benchmarks

Anyone have some recomendations on some good CPU benchmarks I could run, that won't be affected by what video card is being used? I just got my 3.06ghz northwood system back up and running, and want to compare it to my 3.4ghz Prescott.
Northwood is running at 3.45Ghz 150Mhz FSB, ram at 375Mhz 2.5-3-3-7 timings
Prescott is running at 3.82Ghz 225Mhz FSB, ram at 450Mhz 3-4-4-8 timings

In the Sandra Arithmetic benchmark northwood and prescott are pretty much tied

in Sandra Multimedia benchmark northwood has the lead

In Cinebench, northwood has the lead in rendering

Any other good CPU benchmarks I could run? I only have a 16mb Riva TNT 2 card to use with the northwood right now, so can't be anything that would be limited by the graphics card..
Click my rigs in my sig for system stats on the systems used
3.82ghz prescott=main rig
3.45ghz Northwood=3066Mhz
3.46Ghz Prescott=PVR machine

Winrar and Winzip a folder of files and time it....


I am amazed the northwood one the cinebench test....
 
I was suprised the northwood won in cinebench too, had to take my prescott up to 3.99ghz to get it to catch up(doesn't stay stable at that speed though) thats why I wanted recomendations on more tests. Northwood doesn't do so well with Super PI. 42 mintues for 32M test, compared to just over 27 mintues on the prescott(using the patched SSE3 version).
 
Couldn't finish PCmark 04, cause the last 2 tests refused to run on the old video card, but got some results:

Old northy seems to keep up pretty well, seems an 800mhz FSB northwood would do even better having a higher FSB and more memory bandwidth.

Northwood rocks!!

It's really amazing to me 2 years later it's still Intels best, still can compete w/ A64's and even more amazing they quit making it or making improvments to it.

Were you running throttle monitor logs thoughout prescott tests?

The prescott is water cooled, and never gets above about 57c anymore, so I haven't really been running throttlewatch, but I guess it wouldn't hurt. I am getting tempted to move the water cooling over to the northwood to see much higher it will go. I haven't raised the Vcore on it at all, but it gets unstable at 151mhz FSB. Passed 24 hours of prime95 at this speed. I'm pretty impressed with it, I wasn't expecting it to do so well. It's a very first generation 3.06, I bought it the month it was released. I will have to try some video encoding on it, to see if it does better than the higher clocked prescott there too.

NIce test!!! Kinda of back and forth...raw performance the Northwood wins and pretty much always wins against the prescott at same clock speed which we are not surprised by.....Make sure you run SSE2 version of superpi 32m....I am surprised it did that bad as SSE3 should have not given the prescott that big of a boost, IMO...


For comparison my

2.4c@3.5ghz did--------------62.563fps in WMV 9----------70.483fps in Divx

A643000+ @ 2.66ghz--------62.03fps in WMV 9------------75.35fps in Divx

It shows you the northwood with a really high scaled bus...was 292x4=1168 total...Though I cuold only run ram at 400ddr speeds cas 2-3-3-6 at that high of an fsb.

I think you may something wrong here cause I think you should have done much beter then this....

IN there a 3.4eghz Prescott stock did 5:37...I would think 400mhz would scale close to linear as I saw with my 2.4c@3.0 and 3.5ghz.....I guess it could be in the system overall but you should possibly be under 5min....you seem to be off by aboiut 10% to the charts in there....

Added: This pretty much confirms your cinebench scores...Th 3.4 XE (should say EE) was on the gallatin core or like the northwood and it does win here...Also my 3.5ghz scored a 420...cinebench in my testing is pretty much cpu dependent and not much of anything else...

I changed the settings in Povray to use unrestricted I/O reads and writes:

3.46Ghz Prescott 5m 32s
3.45ghz Northwood 5m 11s

Cinebench rendering
3.46ghz Prescott 301 single 360 multi
3.45ghz Northwood 343 single 407 multi
3.92ghz Prescott 338 single 403 multi
 
On a side note, with some additional cooling for the PWM circuits, I know have my 3.4ghz prescott Prime95 stable at 3.96ghz, and my patched SuperPI time is now 26m 54s.
 
NIce....The SSE3 patch helps it out trememdously over the SSE2 alone...Imagine if Superpi was mutli-threaded
 
Running with the SSE2 version of superPI the prescott at 3.8 is pretty much twice as fast as the northwood at 3.45, while they seem to be a lot closer in most things. I wonder if the reason for this is the double pumped ALU's in the prescott, while the northwood seems to have the advantage in the FPU area..
