Measure your Notebook CPU Speed

1 minute 29 seconds calculating to 2 million digits. Specs are in my sig...

 

I have been here for so long but never cared to test, but today I was feeling that my mom's 2.6G Celeron-D desktop was really more inferior than I thought it to be when I built it for her a year ago. So I thought I'd compare it to my lappy:

Desktop:
Celeron-D 2.6GHz
512MB 333MHz
80GB 7200RPM
2 million: 2:40

Laptop (Fujitsu N6010):
P4-M 3.2GHz
1GB Dual Channel 400MHz
7K60 60GB, 7200RPM
2 million: 1:45

Man was I shocked.

BTW just glancing at the reported scores, does my P4 bite or what! EASILY BEAT BY A 1.86GHz PM ... THE SHAME ... I actually wasn't shocked at all

 

Well it depends on if you are running it after a reboot, what rou have run before SuperPi, or whats running at the same time as SuperPi.

If running after a reboot, itll be quick the first time.
If running after running out heavy apps, or while those apps are still running, itll be quicker the second or even third time.
Its all about windows not needing to free up RAM by paging during the SuperPi run.

 

3.2Ghz?
Did you mean 2.3Ghz?

 

OK, so my laptop is an ACER Travelmate 800lci.

Specs:
1.3 Ghz Pentium
40 GB 4200 rpm HD
256 MB PC2100 RAM
DVD/CD-RW
ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 (64 MB)

I thought it would be slow, but it suprised me. I was also running Firefox in the background.

The Pi test turned out a time of 2m 40s. Not to bad, but it will be blown away by the ASUS z70v refresh I am going to order soon. Oh yeah.

Nope that is a 3.2GHz ... it's a P4. The "M" in P4-M is there to designate 533FSB and speedstep. Regular P4s are 800FSB and no speedstep!

 

Both tests (ac power and battery) ended with the same figure:

1 minute and 42 seconds.

This was done with 512 memory as my 2gig of DDR2 533mHz hasnt arrived yet (even though I already put it in my sig below) I dont know if it will change any, but I will try this again once I put the 2 gig in.

:fujitsu:

 

Ok heres mine...
Running programs in background during tests:
-AVG antivirus
-MSN
-Remote desktop
-Firfox
-and trasnfering large files too to my laptop from my other desktop(first trial with AC anyways)
MY COMPUTER STATS:
Athlon 64 3700+
1gb ddr sdram
128vram (ATI) with additional 128 shared video ram
100gb 4200rpm hd
model: Gateway 7510GX

With AC: 1min 40sec (second trial was 1min 37sec )
With Battery: 4min 11 sec (second trial was 4min 13sec)

Using only the Battery made a huge difference, i think my score was the most deviating yet... Perhaps some setting on my computer affects this? I honestly don't notice the speed difference when im on the battery (Cept the battery doesn't like to stay charged for too long haha )


Looking at the other times:
Seems like the 64 cpu has much better load time than the Intels with this test. The PM didn't do too bad, but still i think the 64 cpu's did best (not a biased observation at all ....

-luper

 

OK, did my laptop again:
AMD Turion 64 ML-30 1.6GHz - 1GB DDR DRAM: 2:11

And my desktop I did for the heck of it:
intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz w/HT, 512k cache, 800FSB - 1GB DDR Dual Channel: 1:41

 

Ah, sorry, forgot about that.
Im still new to laptops

With all these P4 and A64 lappies doing it in the 1m40's its amazing my Dothan does 2M in 1m 21sec :centrino:

 

Anyone have an HP zv6k/r4k with an AMD 4000+ proc? I'd like to see what that gets

And, if anyone has the intel Pentium M 780 (2.26GHz), that would be interesting as well.

 

1:54

Asus Z70v
1.73ghz Pentium M
512MB DDR2 PC2 4200 RAM

AC power

 

update:

1:49

1.73ghz pentium M
512 DDR2 4200 RAM

 

AC: 2' 05"
Battery: 2' 14"

IBM, ThinkPad R50e, P-M(725, 1.6GHz), 256RAM,

 

OK, I fixed my RAM speed by doing a BIOS update.
SuperPI 2M w/ PC2100RAM = 2:11
Now with PC2700RAM = 2:07

That's a 3.1% performance increase.

Turion 64 ML-30 1.6GHz, 1600MHz Hypertransport, 1MB L2, .90nm, Lancaster core.

 

AC: 1:43
Battery: 3:13

Dell Inspiron 6000, Intel Pentium M 740 1.73Ghz
80gb 5,400rpm
512 ddr2 ram
128mb ATI x300

 

OK hold the presses!

I think this is the fastest time yet!

14 min 43 sec

intel Pentium II 300MHz, Win 2kPro, 327MB RAM.

 

SWEET DUDE!

I bet my pentium 200 MMX 64MB can beat that time easily ... give me a day or 2 until the test is done running ... I hope it will run! Win98 and that little RAM. I'll give it a try tomorrow, and report back ... this should be fun

 

And the winner is my Pentium 200 MMX with 64MB RAM, and some really old 4GB HDD (I really wonder about RPM ) OS, Win98 SE

TIME: 32m 54s for 2M

I am actually impressed, thought it would take an hour at least

BTW I have a DX4 CPU but nothing to plug it into (mobo died centuries ago!) ... that would have been an eternal thing

 

LoL! Eh it's always fun to play with your old computers....somehow I want to get rid of mine but I never do...they have some sentimental value I guess.

Hey I just found something interesting - if you have a processor that supports SSE3 instructions (Turion 64, a new Athlon 64, or a Pentium 4 Prescott), you may want to download SUPER PI with the SSE3 patch - I got 2:07 before the patched one, now I get 2:02 on my Turion ML-30.

Check it out!

Theres a link on this page to download it:

Nice Find Chaz!

I did a rerun of the regular version and the patched one. I closed all programs that might be slowing stuff down (AV, Spyware...).
Results:
regular version: 1.42
SSE3 patched: 1.34

this goes to show how programs developed for certain lines of processors can benifit from the new tech!

BTW, my P4-M is a prescott with an decreased FSB (533)

 

I've been meaning to do this for a while but i kept forgetting.
Im running 9300 1.86, 2 gig ram, 7200 rpm 60g hd

On battery: 1:40
On AC:1:37


Edit: i had a few things running in teh background, aim, norton, and i was checking my email.

 

p m 750 1.86 512 ram: 1:44 AC

edit: Thinkpad R52

 

My inspiron 8200 from dell:

1.6ghz
256mb ram
64mb video card

Came in at: 3.57

 

Vaio FS Celeron-M 1.5, 512Ram.

AC Power: 2m41s.
Battery Power (800mhz): 5m46s

 

yo i just did that pi test,

i have fujitsu siemens a1630
athlon 64 +3700
1GB ram
80GB HDD


the time was 1:35

jees!! that seems pretty quick!

 

Thought I would post my results as I have been checking what seems to work best.

IBM/Lenovo T43
Pentium M 2.0
1 gig DDR2
60 gb 5400rpm
AC power, with no applications running, but no killing antivirus or anything like that.
1 minute 31 seconds.

 

My Gateway 7510GX:
1:31 secs
:amd64-2:

 

Compaq B1801TU 512Mb DDR2, 80Gb drive, Pentium 1995MHz 37 degrees
Normal startup files, open files internet explorer, on wireless connection

AC power 1 min 36 s
Battery 1 min 37 sec

I've just added another 512M DDR2 to make 1Gig memory.

It's marginally lowered the speed of the 2M pi calculation to:
1 min 34 sec

A whole 2 seconds faster - I didn't notice how much memory the test allocated the first time, but clearly it does not use all the memory available.

 

How many digits should I select so that I can compare the processor's speed with u guys ?

 

Have you read any of this thread??
2 Million.

 

Centrino/Pentium M -- 1.86ghz

Plugged in - 1:51
Battery - 3:28

 

I have a Gateway 7508GX, my times are 1:39 pulged in and 3:39 unpluged.

 

did anybody figure out who is the fastest?

 

Hey guys

- Compaq Presario R4000
- Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition with SP2
- AMD Athlon(TM) 64 4000+ (2.4GHz/1MB l2 Cache)
- 15.4" WXGA Widescreen (1280x800)
- 128MB ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory(TM)
- 512MB DDR SDRAM (1x512MB)
- 40 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
- DVD+/-RW/R & CD-RW Combo w/Double Layer Support
- 54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM)
- 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery


For 2M digits, my lappy took 1:32 with A/C power on and 1:36 with battery on.

So mine is the fastest huh?

 

Hi guys,
Acer AS1694 :
• Intel Centrino Pentium M 760 (2.0 GHZ, 533 FSB, 2MB L2 Cache) processor.
• Mobile Intel 915PM Express chipset.
• 1 GB (512MB x 2) DDR2 533 SDRAM RAM.
• 100GB ATA/100 Hard drive
• ATI Mobility Radeon X700

To 2 Million Digits,
Battery Power: 1:34
AC Power: 1:34

Had the laptop running at maximum performance both times, so that must be why the time is identical .

 

2:07, AC power. check sig for notebook details.

 

P1 MX
2.0 ghz
1 gb ram
7200 rpm hd
ATI x600

1:38 with apps running as per normal on ac powa.

 

I got 1:44 with the ac on and off.

travelmate 3002wtci
1.73 pm 740
512MB ddrII
40GB 5400

 

You made me jealous reading your posts.
We should be happy with the speedy advancement in computers.
I don't have a notebook yet!!! I am getting one soon........
My old VAIO desktop with Pentium III 450 MHz took 13m 36s to do the job!!!

 

WHAT PROGRAM CAN I USE FOR A MAC OS?? :base:

 

Gateway M460
5400 rpm HD
512 ram
60 gig HD
1.73 gigahertz Intel Pentium M
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache
ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600
Running on battery with 56% power remaining
Wireless running in backgroun

2M calculated

1m 42s

Good? Bad? Indifferent?

 

Asus w3v Pentium M 1.86 Ghz, 1GB ram, 60GB 5400rpm
AC powered 2m 07s
battery powered (adaptive cpu) ....

 

That doesn't make sense when both me and greymars have slightly slower cpus but are significantly faster. Was your cpu power set to maximum?

 

Sager NP-5320

1GB DDR2 533MHz Dual Channel

1.86GHz Pentium M 'Sonoma'

1:43 AC Power

 

dell 9300
1.6ghz p4 m
1gb ram
clean Xp install-no programs loaded yet

1:24...Am I the fastest of the dells?

 

1:24? Sounds way too fast for a 1.6GHz P-M (and I assume you mean P-M, not P4-M, which is considerably slower and isn't offered on the 9300).

 

OK, I finally measured mine. All computers were running on AC power.

Desktop: Pentium 4 (Northwood), 3.0GHz, 1024MB RAM - 1:49
Laptop: IBM Thinkpad T42, Pentium M (Dothan), 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM - 1:50
Laptop: Compaq Evo N610c, Pentium 4M (Northwood), 1.8GHz, 256MB RAM - 3:11

 

I find it interesting that the pm 740 (1.73Ghz) is faster than the 1.8 pm.

 

The 1.73GHz P-M has 533MHz FSB and 533MHz RAM. The 1.8GHz P-M has 400MHz FSB and 333MHz RAM. The difference is probably due to these factors.
