Silly request for a couple 32bit i7 users...

I've been benchmarking my systems with CPUmark99 since my old Pentium 90 and was wondering if perhaps one or two of you wouldn't mind running this bench on your i7? It'll have to be a 32 bit OS. I know this is an ancient benchmark, is only integer, and only uses one core among other things. But I have found that each of my systems has shown big increases with this bench and I'm curious to see how the i7 does.

You can download it here and you don't even have to install anything, it just runs from the exe file. CPUmark99

Here are the results from my systems over the years.

Pentium 90 - 5.5 16.4Mhz per CPUmark99
Celeron 450A (o/c) - 36.1 12.5MHz per CPUmark99
PIII 850 - 76.1 11.2MHz per CPUmark99
P4 2.4 - 157 15.3MHz per CPUmark99
P4 3.06 - 194 15.8MHz per CPUmark99
E6400 o/c 3.2GHz - 445 7.2MHz per CPUmark99

Of course I could run two instances of CPUmark99 with the E6400 and basically double the score but I'm really just i nterested in how a single core of the i7 performs. As you can see except for the P4 each successive CPU become more efficient at running this benchmark.

Thanks!

Thanks. Even with this antique benchmark i7 manages to do a bit better than C2D.

Mhz per CPUmark seems to be a good measure of single-core IPC, does it not? Interesting, thanks for the post.

i7 920 OCed to 4GHz

Single instance - 615

4 instances - averaged 610

2 instances on same core - averaged 430

8 instances - averaged 430

As I said it's an old benchmark but if you do look at the MHz/CPUmark99 it does give you some idea of IPC from one processor generation to the next.

5.5 for my old Gateway P5-90!

Let's see. eelw's i7 at 4GHz with all 8 cores crunching (physical and logical) would be equivalent to 625 Pentium 90's. I'd say that's a pretty amazing increase in processing power available to "personal computer" users.

How far from stable is that? :p

I guess I'll find out soon enough. They said it's been running Linpack and holding in the mid 80's so far.

Just for reference, I got 253 on a Barcelona @2 Ghz running in Vista 64 under emulation.
Edit: That makes 7.9 Mhz per CPUmark99
