I have that Quad-core Pentium-III coming here in another hour or two. I finally got the gumption today to load an OS on it, and after I found my discs.

None of the normal Windows XP loads will work on it because they all only support 2 physical processors (but unlimited -cores- per processor) and this thing has 4 physical processors. So I had to find my disc image for my copy of windows server 2003 enterprise (only enterprise and datacenter editions support more than 4 processors), and find my scsi cable around here somewhere in all my crap.

Got it together and got it going and installing now. It only has 1GB of ram though, hope it can run 7zip benchmark.

For some info on this machine see over here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8034131@N06/alb … 157624821970340

Sweet. FYI, you might be able to run command line 7zip from a linux live CD. I know it is installable on all my linux machines, maybe some include it on the live CD too.

Alrighty finally got it done, here ya go. Probably not the fastest score but.. probably the fastest Pentium-III era score. 😀 😎 🤣

Machine does a slight little "Factory overclock" there, not sure why or what that is. It even sometimes jumps up to 765 Mhz under load for 700 mhz chips.

Not bad for a 5 year old setup!

I felt the need to represent those of us who have dual-cpu setups. 🤣

Added some QX9650 results (almost top of the line for Core 2) into the sheet on the first page.

Athlon 1000 Slot A
ASUS K7V 768MB PC133
XP
7z920

Added to the spreadsheet

Dual Pentium PRO OverDrives @ 333mhz:

On a side note, 7zip v16 works just fine on win2k.

Just for fun, I tested the same system under 32-bit XP and 64-bit Linux. Pentium D 945 dual-booting XP SP3 and antiX MX-15. MX-15 comes with p7zip-full package preinstalled, based off of 7-zip 9.20. to run from the command line:

17z b

to interpret, dict size of 25 (2^25) equals 32MB dictionary size used on the Windows version.

Results are the best run out of 3 attempts:
WinXP 32-bit: 3311 MIPS, 1777 Rating/Usage, 2930 compress, 34927 decompress
Linux 64-bit: 3359 MIPS, 1795 Rating/Usage, 3115 compress, 36162 decompress

Pretty close considering the two major variables (Win vs nix and 32 vs 64 bit)

Phenom II 960T X4 3.0 GHz unlocked to X6 and OCed to 4.1 GHz (7-zip 15.12):

i5 2500K 4.8 Ghz OC results, surpassing anything with 4 cores and no Hyperthreading on the results. Used 7-Zip 15.12

btw. i suggest to add something like an "OC" sufix after the CPU name for overclocked results

Added results for the i7-2640M in my Thinkpad X220. It falls just below a Q6600 running at the same frequency of 2.8GHz. Shows well that in a true multi-threaded benchmark even a far superior architecture + hyperthreading can barely keep up with additional physical cores. Interestingly the i7-2640M seems to be a little ahead of the i3-2100, despite the latter having a 300MHz frequency advantage on what appears to be the same architecture. Maybe the extra 1MB of cache makes the difference, or there may just be some variance in the benchmark.

I just edited the OP to reflect the 7-zip version I'd like standardized on: 9.20. In some brief tests on a Pentium D 940, I noticed the latest version of 7-zip (16.02) is around 7% faster on the Decompression test, which effects the MIPS score by around 1%. Thanks. 😀

Here is my results from my IBM xSeries 220 Dual Tualatin build. It outclassed anything Pentium III except the for quad PIII Xeon by just barely 90 MIPS. For some reason, the server OC's istelf acording to CPU-Z since the CPU clock was fluctuating between 1.4 and 1.6 ghz, i even saw hitting 1.8 ghz once. I used 7-zip 9.20 this time

That was my son's i5-4570s you beat for the best 4 core/4 thread score. 😀 Technically, it's not overclocked either. I say technically, because there is a BIOS setting to force all 4 cores to run at 3.6Ghz, which is enabled.

Added a P4-HT 3GHz. Boy, does it suck. 😜 Even editing the online spreadsheet took forever.

With that said, even though later CPUs beat it by a long margin, all the CPUs in the list which were released before it lose to it. Which goes to show, that no matter how laughable one may find the Pentium4 or mock its inefficient architecture, at the time of its release, it was the top dog.

Should i try beching more CPUs? I have many Pentium 4s, some Pentium IIIs, a Pentium II and even a K6 II

If you want to. 😀 This list is just for fun. Some people find it interesting to compare and such. I think the K6 II and Pentium IIs would be good additions since there are none on the list yet. Thanks!

Benched and added more CPUS:

There the results:
- Celeron 2.6 GHz on Dell Optiplex GX60 (i845GL), Windows XP - Slowest P4 Celeron on the list, sightly worse score than my P4 2.0A
- Pentium III 1 Ghz on Dell Optiplex GX150 (i815E), Windows XP - Surpassed all other coppermines, the Athlon 1 Ghz and even my own Pentium 4 Willamette, for some reason, my 1 ghz P3 surpassed the P3 933 result by over 160 points
- Pentium II 350 Mhz on Tekram P6B40-A4X (i440BX), Windows XP - Now the slowest result of all the list xD
- Pentium 4 1.5 ghz Willamette on QDI Platinix 2 (i845 PC133), Windows XP - Worst Pentium 4 score, unable to fully surpass the Athlon and lost against my 1 Ghz Pentium III
- Pentium 4 2.0A Ghz Northwood on QDI Superb4 (SiS 645 DDR333), Windows XP - Despite begin clocked twice as fast than the P3 and the Athlon, didn't surpass them by much. Sightly wose score than the Celeron D 2.53 ghz result
- AMD Turion 64 MT-32 on Fujitsu Amilo A1655G (Radeon Xpress 200M), Windows XP - Kinda dissapointing score for an AMD64 CPU
- Pentium M 750 on MSI-9625 (Yes, is a Pentium M on desktop) (i915GM), Windows 7 - Good score for an 1.86 Ghz Pentium M
- Pentium 4 3.2 GHz Northwood on HP D530 (i865G), Windows 7 - Dissapointing for a P4, ethier was Windows 7, the HP system or both. Need to try again
- Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz Northwood on Abit AI7 (i865PE), Windows XP - Best Northwood score atm, almost good as my 3.4 Ghz Prescott
- Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz Prescott (1 MB L2, PGA 478 version) on ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe (i865PE), Windows 7 - Best Prescott score atm
- Atom D525 1.8 Ghz on Foxconn D52S (Intel NM10), Windows 7 - Not bad for a dual core Hyperthread Atom

I might test more CPUs/combinations later, i kinda have too many CPUs (around 80 Pentium 4s mostly)

Nice! When I first posted this list, there were about 60 results that I'd compiled from all the systems I worked on. That means Vogons members have contributed over 40 results so far!
