Tom's Benchmark Marathon: 65 CPUs from 100 MHz to 3066 MHz

[scdill]

Tom's Hardware tests 65 different x86 processors in over three hundred hours of benchmark testing. CPUs range from the Intel Pentium 100 from 1994 to the latest AMD Athlon XP 3000+.

Kind of interesting -- seeing how some of my older cpus compare with the newer ones.

Thanks 🙂

But a repost, its already in the General Hardware and the DC forum.

But I suppose a post in the CPU forum wouldn't hurt either...

LOL! Hes running Win XP Pro on that Pentium100 dog, how slowly painful...

It has 512 MB of ram too 😀

wow.... some ppl have to much time on there hands....
i always want to see Win XP run on a 100Mhz

I have one question...WHY?

I guess if you want to see how crappy a 100MHz pentium with a 9700 pro will run a QIII bench.

 

[Ready]

how do you get the 9700 pro to run in one of those old mbs?

 

[Actaeon]

If you guys read the article, he had to use the Ti4600 for some of the lower clocked CPU's. But due to the fact that it was CPU limited with the Ti4600 and the R9700, the scores do not differ much.

He explains everything in there.

Very interesting. It makes you wanna laugh at the old stuff but it's all relative: we'll all be laughing in 10 years about today's CPUs and GPUs.🙂

wow that's a lot of testing...
