CPU single thread performance history chart?

I have been looking at Notebookchecks database to see if i can get a feel of the improvements of single thread performance from nm-nm-nm for clock per clock and gen to gen. Has anyone seen a chart showing that? 65nm-45nm-32nm-22nm? I am interested in single thread only.

Thanks HF

 

You're gonna have a hard time finding clock-for-clock comparisons, but this is the closest I've seen:

AnandTech | The Haswell Review: Intel Core i7-4770K & i5-4670K Tested

i think notebookcheck has clock per clock but i figured someone has done a comparison of the history of the trend....it would surprise me if no one has. Thanks for the links i'll check them out tonight when i got time

 

Head over to cpubenchmark.net who have what you need. PassMark CPU Benchmarks - Single Thread Performance

EDIT: I just ran CPU Mark on my aging i7 940XM and I got 1371 in single threaded.

 

Yea but a more standard well know test would be preferable

 

Hey CPU Mark is an industry standard (according to their website). Its a pretty good benchmark suite.
Not sure you're going to get anything better.....

 

Tomshardware has done this many times, but usually only within 3 generations. Sometimes they have gone all-out and tested things from 15+ years ago to the then present day. Use google to search on their site.

Also performance per clock increases with new designs, not die shrinks.

 

I know the per clock is on design but I just want to see the history seeing 2920xm vs 3920xm performance per clock plus overall performance give a better picture of everything

 

Well those AnandTech charts I linked to in my previous post have Sandy Bridge vs. Ivy Bridge clock-for-clock if that's what you're after. For example i7-2700K vs. 3770K at identical clock speeds:





2920XM and 3920XM are mobile variants of those two processors anyway.

 

Why not just divide the score by the # of GHz and you'll get a rough idea of performance per GHz and done...

 

There's plenty of single thread benchmarks you could use such as superpi. HWBot would be a good reference point. If you are after instruction throughput then try Agnor Fog's "Instruction tables: Lists of instruction latencies, throughputs and micro-operation breakdowns for Intel, AMD and VIA CPUs"
