Result: Cyrix MII 300Mhz GA-5AX 128MB SDRAM PC-100(cl?)
11m 23.560s

The BIOS recognized it as a 350Mhz CPU, but I assume this is incorrect.
It is jumpered for 3x100Mhz
I tried cpu-z but they didn't mention on their website what version of windows it will run 😵
I mean, it's not like hardly anyone u...eh, nevermind 🤣.
Anyway, I looked at the screenshots posted by maddmaxstar and downloaded that version of CPU-Z

Edit:Tried CPU-Z and it reports a cpu speed of around 141Mhz with a FSB of 31.7Mhz?

Anyway, I damaged one of my mainboards to get this result. The CPU tab of my MS-5169 broke while trying to mount a cooler. A drop of superglue will probably fix that, but I misplaced my superglue 🤣
Never knew how little force is needed to actually break such a tab.

Anyway, I'll assume the result is correct. Afaik no liniar burst was used as I didn't see it in the BIOS anywhere and the CPU was misidentified.

I just re-tested my Mobile Celeron 500MHz (IBM Thinkpad A20m) this time running Win2000 SP4.
4m 6.975s

That's an impressive jump from when running in Win9x, I wonder if SuperPi runs faster under Win2000/XP than in 9x (no 32bit on 16bit APLs to screw with)...

A MII 300 running at 3x100? Is it an MII 433 or is it an MII 300 running overclocked? Just wondering if that's why it's not recognized properly.

Even so, holy heck thats a slow time compared to similar chips. Both the K6 and Celeron at those speeds leave it in the dust. And if it's the one carrying a PR433 rating, it looks even worse.

It's the MII PR400. It's standard speed is 95Mhz x 3. This one is (slightly) overclocked to 100Mhz x 3.
Maybe I should rerun the test?
Perhaps tightening the CAS latency will help, but probably only a little.

At any rate, it's only a bit slower clock for clock then a Pentium 1

Just finished my CPU upgrade on my Thinkpad A20m. Just installed a PIII-800 CPU, however because the mainboard doesn't support speedstep (previous chip was a Celeron 500), the CPU's locked at 650. It's fast enough so no worries.

In the end it was able to crunch 1M a full minute faster than the Celery, at 3m 02.853s

Just noticed. Look where the poor K6-2 sits! And that too on an oc'ed bus....

Pentium 2 266MHz - 7m 26.852s
AMD K6-2 @495mhz - 8m 7.024s
Celeron 266MHz - 9m 14.117

Really good data. This could be a list like no other. I think we may be one of the few, if not only forums where members have just about every piece of hardware ever made for testing.

Yes, it's a very good list 😀
We've tested so far everything ranging from 386 all the way to i7 in a matter of days!
If I have time I'll go test some more VIA stuff (VIA C3 is in my head 🤣)

Yes, the screenshot is real. 😀

I did it last year for HWBot, you can see the submission here:

You might want to add this result to the list too:

So the x87 emulation library you used was the one that comes with win 3.11 ?
And did the 386sx system used cache?
Why does the system analysis tool in your screenshot reports a 386DX instead?
btw: your hwbot entry reports 8 GB FP RAM, better fix this two errors. 😉

Well, SuperPi is a win32 application so I suppose that the FPU emulation is a part of the win32s library.

The system has no cache, which in combination with the FPU emulation greatly contributes to the slowness.

Syschk for some reason fails to detect the CPU properly, it is really a 386SX CPU.

As for incorrect values in the HWBot entry, those are there because of bugs in the HWbot code. Apparently they never anticipated people using so slow hardware with so little memory.
