Measure your Notebook CPU Speed

This may be off topic but I just wanted to show what's possible.
In my post from page 99 I tested all 3 of my machines. I updated the oldest one and this is what I had VS what Ive got now.

AMD Duron 700MHz
640Mb Ram DIMM, not DDR
8Mb Graphis Card
100Gb Hd
250Watt PSU
This machine was much faster before switching from ME to 2000Pro
Pi to 2M in 6min 10sec

Same machine, re-configured a bit:

AMD Athalon 1.2Ghz $21.50 Ebay
512Mb Ram, PC133, not even DDR... Removed (1)128MB PC100 card
Nvida 6600GT OC 128DDR3 $56 with rebate from Tiger Direct
100Gb Hd
700watt PSU $105 Tiger Direct
Pi to 2M in 4min 10sec
Now a more livable machine for the time being. Asus MB and Core 2 Duo in this box's future.

 

Here's my times:

1: Intel 1.3GHz Celeron
512 MB RAM SDRAM PC133
Time: 5m 41s

2: AMD Turion64 ML-32 1.8GHz
1.5 GB RAM DDR-333
Time: 2m 10s

3: Intel Centrino Duo T2050 1.6GHz
1.0 GB RAM DDR2-667
Time: 1m 36s

 

Thinkpad T60, CoreDuo 2500, 1GB, 100GB HDD
1m 17s onAC

 

I have tried several times to get to the link found on page one of this thread, and have been unsuccessful every time. What am I missing?

 

Dell Inspiron 600M
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.10GHz 400MHz)
14.1-in XGA, w/ 64MB Video
512MB,DDR,266MHz 2 Dimms, Inspiron 600m
100GB Seagate ATA Hard Drive. here is mine, is this good or bad ?. 00m 43s on Ac and Dc

 

I did the right click, then save file as thing. Got winzip?

 

allen1013 i think u may have done 1m coz if 2m thats a great score better than most ive seen with alot better processors

 

1m 25''
2m 1'03''

 

I'm not quite sure how this works. When you go to calculate, do you select 32M, the maximum calculations, or?

 

dO THE 2M CALCULATION.

With my SPecs below got 2m: 1:18s
1m: 34s

 

I don`t think this program is fully compatible with dual core processors.

I only get 52% cpu usage when doing the 2M test and i get 1m 48s on AC.

Core Duo 1.6 T2050 533Mhz.

 

what kind of ram can i use for my laptop? My laptop is an acer aspire 5630.

 

thanks for the help

 

1 minute 33 seconds with a couple things running in the background.
Lenovo 3000 C200 core solo (celeron M) 1.66ghz with 2x512 ddr2 533. Win Xp HOME. 20 processes.
Ditto on battery.

how embarrassing. My desktop dual core Opteron DAW. Which I consider my big iron computer with its dual raid arrays, dsp card, matrox workstation video and burly rackmount case. Well it only gets 1:45. Of course thats on an ancient Gigabyte Nforce 3 250GB motherboard. Hmm. Maybe its almost time to start cranking up the FSB ( I got ddr500 ram when I upgraded to 2gb last year). I should be able to get to at least 2.2ghz. Well in every other bnchmark it still trounces my Lenovo. In PCwiz it gets about 2500 vs 1400 for the Lenovo.

 

I'm currently using a Dell Inspiron 1705 with a Intel Core Duo T2250. SuperPi results is:

1 minute and 23 seconds.

 

- -!
i supposed you should put 5,6 cpu into a notebook to run a 32m cal

 

Hi.

can people check their cpu usage when they do the 2M test.

as I am only using 52% and am getting 1m48 on AC.

regards.

John.

 

I had about 50% or so usage also.

 

Acer Aspire 3000, Mobile AMD Sempron 3100+100 gig, 512 ram, 64 shared. Lotz a'crap running in background as usual. ( ACDC REAL LoUD(helps the speed)) HDD is stuffed and needs a'fragging. Plugged in. 2 minutes 22 seconds.

 

Running Vista on maximum performance, around 55 processes running (cut some of them) with 1 GB of RAM and a T5200 Core 2 Duo processor. My SuperPI calculation @ 2 million digits is:

Just wondering if a switch to Super pi 1.5 would be a good idea? http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/

 

With super pi 1.5, I got 59.218s for 2M on my machine.

 

Got 2:02 on both AC and battery power (strange?).

Sempron 3300+, 2GB DDR333, 120GB 5400 IDE, XP Home

 

Thinkpad T60
T7200 C2D
1GB RAM
100GB 7200rpm HDD

AC (Thinkpad Default): 1:04min
Battery (Max Power): 1:07min

Must be a pretty good gap between Thinkpad default and Max Power, power schemes

Lol!!!

Im very smug: time is 1 min 16 seconds!!!

super pi test 2 million digits........ 2mins. 3secs.

 

1m 1sec. @2million digits

is it good or bad?

 

All the above scores look about right.

Mine?: T7400 - 0 min 58 sec

 

I'm really pleased with this, 2M in 1min 58secs.
On a 1.86GHz with 1Gb RAM.
Though I did cheekily force fans to high speed and set my SpeedSwitchXP to Max Performance lol. All's Fair... as they say.

 

HI all!
the results for my dell Inspiron 1501 amd X2 64 TL-56 1.8ghz 1gb ram 120hdd 5200rpm is - 1.49 min on ac
For the old Asus A4G pentium 4 mobile 3.2ghz 512 ram 40gb@5400rpm is 1.54 min on ac and 5.38 min on battery -> sign of bad thermal design

 

I get 1 min 28 s, specs in sig.

 

Hi I used the old SuperPI so am posting to this older thread.

Tested on Acer Travelmate 270. [email protected]. 1GB 80GB HD @5400 (I think). On AC power. Windows 2000 SP4.

5min 37secs.

Just ordered an Acer Travelmate 6492 with Core 2 Duo @ 1.8 Ghz with 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD. Was wondering what kind of speed improvement I'd get. Main computationally intensive application is GIS (geographical information system). Rest is pretty standard office applications.

If I can get times down to the 2 minute range for PI reported by others, I'd be very happy with the new machine.

You're in for quite a treat with the new Acer . . . your old 270 is ancient in technology terms.

Which processor did you get - the T7100? That should get around 1min 10secs or so, maybe less.

The best way to measure the performance of your new CPU is to use wPrime - see the new thread:

My notebook calculates to 2 million in 1 min 03 seconds.

@tony, your new notebook is going to blow you away with its performance.

 

HP dv9500t
2.0 Ghz Intel Core2 Duo T7300
2 GB RAM
160 5400RPM HD

Battery = 58 seconds
AC = 59 seconds

Anybody know why the battery time was faster?!?!

 

there is was probably some OS process that took up some resource that made the thing just slightly slower. maybe battery was 58.4 and ac was 58.6...

your processor doesn't slow down just because you are on the battery (unless you are sitting idle)

if you give it a task, it will perform that task as fast as it can- battery or not.

 

Took 1m 1s on my new f3sv.

 

Hi,
That's good news. I've been concerned with the small gain in posted processor speed to 1.8 GHz with the new laptop from the 1.4 Ghz with the current Pentium P4 processor. But from what I've read, these days processor speed isn't a good indicator of processing ability anymore, other factors come into play.

Yes, the new Acer TM6492 will have the T7100 processor. The TM6492s aren't available in Canada yet until August but I've pre-ordered one. It will have the T7100 processor (1.8 GHz, 2MB L2, 800 Mhz FSB I believe). I saw one review (in French) at http://www.laptopspirit.fr/test-de-lacer-travelmate-6492/ that mentioned theirs had a T7300 processor at 2 GHz and with 4MB L2 cache. I've inquired if the T7300 is available in the model.

But even getting the Super Pi to come in at 1 minute with the T7100 would be such an improvement. Imagine my GIS maps re-freshing in 1/5 the time. Wow.

regards,
-Tony

 

3 minutes, 0 seconds on a Pentium 4 @ 2.66 GHz. A bit lower than I expected; maybe I'll quit out of everything next time.

Not that I won't be happy if I don't get any improvement - that just means more of an increase later!

 

Dell d610 laptop. Pentium M Dothan 1.86GHZ , 1.5GB DDR2 533MHZ in dual channel mode

1 minute 45 seconds for counting pi to 2 million, and running Superpi version 1.1 with a High CPU priority.

 

Anybody with the new Santa Rosa laptop chipset??

 

look here for new Santa Rosa (and other dual core CPUs) results:
