Measure your Dual/Multi Core Notebook CPU Speed - Bye Bye to SuperPI

Measure your Dual/Multi Core Notebook CPU Speed - Bye Bye to SuperPI
Last Updated: 2008-01-05

This is a thread that is a long time coming.

Note: It will be complimentary to the thread on:
- Measure your Notebook CPU Speed (mainly SuperPI related)
& Windows XP Multi Core config - Does your OEM do it for you?

The Past CPU Benchmark(s):
Super PI

- is single threaded, so its relevance as a measure of performance in the current era of multi-core processors is diminishing quickly. As the calculation times become faster and faster, Super PI is also becoming a rather poor stability test due to the need for a stability test to run long enough to stress the hardware. This program does not utilize all of the multi-cores/processors when running the test... strange that most people still use this as a benchmark... especially since the scores are geared towards high clock speed single-core CPUs.

:wink: The New CPU Benchmark(s): :wink:
wPrime - ( Download Site)
Compatibility:
- Virtually all CPUs (single-core, multi-core, multi-processors, multi-logical processors)
- Windows XP w/ SP2 and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit)
- All older Windows as well
Note 1: (for all Windows versions w/ multiple user accounts) you need to have an account with Admin privileges to run this benchmark.
Note 2-a: (for Vista) you need to manually set 2 threads under the advanced settings. Otherwise the times will be doubled.
Note 2-b: (for Vista) you might need to disable the User Account Control & any user passwords if you get an "Unexpected Error..."
Note 3: (for XP w/ SP2 32-bit) if you have a dual-core [or multi-core] CPU, your scores can vary [be lower than expected] if you did not do the XP Multi-Core Hotfix

- is multi-threaded, which means that it will utilize the entire multi-core CPU within its test. It is very similar to SuperPI, but has a bit more features that is thanks to CPU-Z (install this missing library within wPrime) to retrieve most of the hardware information (CPU, Motherboard, etc..). Their site has many submissions on scores from a lot of CPUs (both in single and multi-core/processors).

Technicalities
wPrime uses a recursive call of Newton's method for estimating functions, with f(x)=x2-k, where k is the number we're sqrting, until Sgn(f(x)/f'(x)) does not equal that of the previous iteration, starting with an estimation of k/2. It then uses an iterative calling of the estimation method a set amount of times to increase the accuracy of the results. It then confirms that n(k)2=k to ensure the calculation was correct. It repeats this for all numbers from 1 to the requested maximum.


Threading
The aim was to make a perfectly threaded benchmark, such that it would consistantly use 100% of the CPU while in use. This is achieved by using the WMI to detect the CPU count and use exactly that many processing threads to avoid any performance losses due to multiple threads running on any single physical thread. Each thread is designed to do 1/n of the work, where n is the number of threads. For example, if you're calculating 16 roots on 4 CPU's, each CPU will calculate 4 roots. Some might argue that this style of threading is unrealistic in real-time performance, but in fact is quite indicative of performance in several real world tasks such as F@H which allows you to run several instances of the work at any one time.

Multi-PI (still in beta testing)

- is a promising new CPU benchmarking program [Java-based] that is in beta testing. The most promising aspect of this benchmark is that it can also be used within Mac OS & Linux environments as well. When it gets a final release, this thread will be updated.

:GEEK: Conclusion for score differences: :GEEK:
I have been looking into the results and tests.

Seems that the bests scores using the similar/same CPUs are gained from users with:
(in this order)
- Vista (all versions) x64
- Vista (all versions) 32-bit
- XP Pro x64
- XP SP2 (all versions) 32-bit with Multi-Core hotfix
- XP SP2 (all versions) 32-bit not configured for multi-core utilization

To optimize your score:
- disable resource hogs (System Restore, Antivirus, etc..)
- switch Appearance/Theme to Classic Mode

Game On People,
-Gophn

P.S. Best if viewed with 1920x1200 or 1920x1080.... for the tables

 

Thanks! Maybe we should use this in the feature for reviews. But I think that SuperPi is more common among people.

 

Great stuff thanks. Vote for sticky.

 

I just want people to be aware that SuperPI is not a benchmark that [the results] can be counted upon for new systems with dual-cores [and up].

It would be nice if we just transition out of the old SuperPI mode, and into a new multi-threaded [as well and fully compatible single-threaded] CPU benchmark program to reflect performance scores more accurately.

 

SuperPi is still valid. Just because dual cores exist doesn't mean that every program supports it. I'm not opposed to adding this as a valid benchmark, but single-core performance is still quite relevant. Even newer games like Quake4 that have multi-core support only barely stress a second core, and still depend primarily on how fast a single thread runs.

 

I think the least that can be done is include it in the bunch of tests that are run in the reviews, won't hurt and those results tell it won't take long either. I suppose it tests the true speeds of using both cores at max eh

 

Well, I ran it on my single-core Sempron 3300+ cpu and got a 32M score of 86.046 seconds.

 

hmmm must be a simpler calculation algorithim thingy than superpi then?

 

That score seems right. Here is the score of:

AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3400+ @ 2299.7MHz
Score: 1m 18.812s

the algorithm is different than SuperPI, in that its not calculating the digits of PI, rather one of Newton's functions.

The most intense test [in wPrime] is the 1024M... this is definitely for stability and stress tests.

 

Okay, I did the 1024M Stress Test and got 45.60155 minutes.

I'm guessing this is where the single core gets completely obliterated.

Sempron 3300+
2GB Ram
120GB HDD
Win XP

 

Wow.

that is an amazing score. thanks for the efforts.

 

You mean thats good?? I thought it was a terrible score! lol

 

Samsung R20 with T2250 = 47.563s.

Note that if you are running wPrime under Vista then you need to manually set 2 threads under the advanced settings. otherwise the times will be doubled.

John

 

I would not say a good score... rather a massively scary score... as in the huge amount of time.

Thanks for the note.

I'll update the thread with this note.

 

Ah, okay. "Massively scary" is kinda what I was feeling too.............

 

I was thinking of making a wPrime Hall of Fame (for notebook CPUs) for this thread.

Maybe with multiple categories like:
- Single-Core
-- 32M (default) and 1024M (stress test)
- Dual-Core
-- 32M (default) and 1024M (stress test)

What do you guys think?

 

Sounds good. It will be easier to reference the base scores that way.

 

42.029 seconds on speed test

 

thanks for the score, metalfandragula

OK, the hall of fame is up....

so post your scores folks.

 

Ran 32m on My Core Solo 1.83ghz and got 69.529s seconds

 

Dunno if my time was alright...
52.38 for T2300 @ 1.66MHz
Ram 1GB
ASUS W3J
HP HOME

 

54.214 for a Turion X2 1.6GHz.

XP Pro 2gb ram

 

T7400, 1gb ram, win xp pro


edit 41.14

 

Thanks for participating guys.

Hall of fame is updated.

More scores please (regardless if its dual core or single core)

Alright mods, I'm looking in your direction.

 

Just a quick thing, my score was with the cpu at 1.6GHz, not the 1.8 that I have in my sig and run.

 

oh, ok thanks for the edit.

 

Turion TL-60 x2

45.703 sec 32M

 

nice score, thanks for posting.

the AMD Turion X2 are still good CPUs

 

Nobody said they weren't. Well maybe the hardcore intel zealots. I'm very impressed with mine, especially on how cool it runs.

 

32m on my T7200 got a a time of 44.364 sec.

Wow not alot of people have done the 1024M test :s but no wonder it would take most dual core's about 24+ minutes to compute....

I ran it for 70sec only did 5% my cpu @ 60* don't want to risk it hehe

 

If you want to know the fastest recorded wPrime Tests:

For 32M:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5350 @ 2.66GHz (Engineering Sample) @ 3258.3MHz
8 threads
6.859 seconds

For 1024M:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5350 @ 2.66GHz (Engineering Sample) @ 3258.3MHz
8 threads
3 minutes 30.53 seconds

Now thats just nuts, 8 cores.

 

Sony Vaio C140 Win XP Media Center
Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66GHz
1GB RAM

@ 1.66GHz
32M = 54.047s
@ 1.00GHz running on battery with "max battery" option
32M = 93.063s

 

thanks Andy, i added your score to the list.

Keep them coming guys and gals.

I'll make an extended list if it its too long, so you will be included no matter what.

 

Xp home SP2

Intel CoreDuo T2050 1.6 533mhz / 1024mb Ram.

32M = 53.812s

More / updated results:

Samsung R20 with T2250 : 32M = 47.065s, 1024M = 1496.119s (Vista Home Premium)

Samsung Q35 with T5600: 32M = 48.405s, 1024M = 1527.156s (XP Pro)

Samsung Q35 with T5600: 32M = 45.85s, 1024M = 1445.62s (Vista Business)

Samsung X60 plus with T7200: 32M = 44.922s. 1024M = 1431.062s (XP Pro)

I tried various combinations of test conditions. Disabling Zone Alarm and McAfee knocked a few seconds off the 1024M time.

What was interesting that the R20 got the shorter time with the eye candy turned off but on the Q35 the quicker time (but only a few seconds in the 1024M test) with the eye candy on.

It is also pertinent to note that on the Q35 I was getting significantly faster results with Vista than on XP. But I should point out that the Vista is as almost clean installation whereas the XP has a load of other applications also installed.

All those results are close considering the T7200 is 15% faster than the T2250. So is wPrime a good measure of CPU performance?

I need to do more tests to see whether results get better or worse when the tests are repeated.

Dell Inspiron 9100 with 2.8GHz Pentium 4
Windows Vista Home Premium
211.375 sec 32M (speed test)

 

I got 58.593s for 32M on a Vaio SZ2M/B with a 1.66ghz core duo processor, running at 1.50ghz. Will check 1.66ghz later. I think I've done the dual core fix but am not sure. But I had 2 threads both at ~50% CPY usage.

 

Thanks for participating everyone.

Thanks for the multiple tests with your Samsungs. Interesting that the Vista score was better than the XP... although I think that just proves that Vista's multi-core support is much better than XP [since you have to manually install the hotfix and do minor mods in the registry & boot.ini].

I do not believe that your score is accurate. You should run it again, just make sure:
- your notebook is plugged in AC power
- if your P4 2.8ghz has HyperThreading, do the XP Dual Core hotfix.

 

I did it again at the full 1.66ghz and got 52.390s. Gophn, did you accidently quote me instead of the poster above? Because I have a core duo, not a P4. I see I was added to the list, if you want you can update it to the proper score. My specs are: Vaio SZ2M/B, Core Duo T2300 1.66ghz, Windows XP SP2, 32M in 52.390s.

 

oh sorry, wrong quote.

thanks for the score update,

i just updated the table

 

43.203 32M
1375.921 1024M

not bad I think

 

wow, definitely a nice score.

which OS?

 

I'm using XP SP2

 

ok got it.

 

I just used it on:

Old Desktop with AMD AthlonXP 2600+ processor with 512mb RAM and got 96 seconds.

My new notebook with a Intel Centrino Duo t2250 with 1.5gb RAM and also got 96 seconds.

I dont know what these numbers mean exactly and maybe you cant use wPrime to compare the two...but shouldnt i be expecting a much lower time for my brand new dual core laptop compared to my 4yr old single core desktop with a third of the RAM.

 

yea you can, read here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=123570

(in fact, this thread should be moved there)

 

but 96s for a CoreDuo t2250, somthing must be wrong?.

I get 54s for my T2050.

regards.

John.

 

If you were using Vista, then you have to manually go into Advanced Settings, and set the Threads to 2.

If you ware using Windows XP (32-bit), make sure that you have Service Pack 2, and have done the XP Multi-Core Hotfix

 

so what exactly does the number man, obvioulsy a quicker time indicates stronger peformance, but does it only measure CPU peformance or is it affected by the amount of RAM and the speed of the harddrive ect.

Is their then a correlation between the time and the time it takes to load up programs, the amount fo lag, start up time ect.?

 

This [as well as other] CPU benchmark primarily focuses on the CPU's calculation abilities.

The score reflects how fast your CPU calculated the mathematical function to the 32 millionth digit.

The HDD speed and RAM are pretty much negligible because the program is not taking up significant resources or has a large filesize that would be needed to have any loadtime.

If you have a multi-core CPU [and have the OS utilizing the multi core CPU], the calculation times should be significantly faster than single-core CPUs.
