The All-amazing super-de-douper SuperPi thread!

[maddmaxstar]

As a spinoff of my K6-2+ 500 thread, on the suggestion of Tetrium, creating here a seperate thread for everyone from far and wide to post their Retro system's SuperPi results.

There is a copy (Freeware) of SuperPi 1.1 (Modded for decimals) attached to this post that will run on Win9x operating systems all the way to XP. Works on 7 too, but this versions not for multicore CPUs. As SuperPi relies on the x86 instruction set, it should theoretically run on 486 machines as well, but haven't tried this yet.

Test Guidelines:
All tests run at 1M, a setting appropriate for Pentium/II/III class CPUs, as anything bigger would take too long, yet is big enough to show comparitive performance. (If you use anything other than 1M, please document it.)

Also document any additional system specs, Motherboard Chipset, L2 Cache (if on motherboard), RAM quantity and type, OS. Also document FSB and multiplyer settings if running out of spec (ie: a K6 300, running at 3x 100MHz FSB instead of 4.5x 66MHz)

So far I've run a few tests, as follows:
================================================
System: FIC VA-503+ VIA MVP3+1MB L2/256mb PC100/Win98se
AMD K6 300MHz (3x100) = 10m 9.360s

Phenom II X6 1090T (3.2GHz+Turbo, Thuban Core, 6x512k L2, 6MB L3) = 21.434s


And these results originally posted by Tetrium in my K62+500 thread:
================================================
System: Pentium III 933Mhz/VC820/256MB RDRAM PC-800/WinME

Great idea this one! SuperPi 1M time 2m 57.883s - PIII Coppermine @ 966mhz (7x 138) / MSI MS-6309 (VIA Apollo Pro 694X)/ 512mb CAS 3 ram/ Win98SE2ME

[RogueTrip2012]

Checking in...
Win98SE
Pentium 3 1400S (stock pin modded) / Crucial 512MB CL2 / Asus CUSCL-2BP (i815EP non-B-step)

1M test: 1m50.764s

[maddmaxstar]

Awesome! Keep'em coming! I just updated my top post with more results, including results from my PIII-class chips as well as my Athlon64 3700+. I was actually surprised to see that the PIII 650 was quicker than a Celeron 800 (a result that was the same in 3DMark01 as well). Must be the extra Cache, plus I think the PIII's Cache technology is more advanced (IE: 16 way vs 4 way). Not sure.

[Chewhacca]

I should do this, I've got a stack of slot1 chips of varying speeds as well as several celerons with slocket adapters.

[Tetrium]

My OS was Windows ME btw. I'll go run some more benchmarks

I noticed this exact same thing. The Celerons always were roughly 70% of the speed of it's bigger Pentium 3 brother.

Some more results!
Unfortunately my K6-III/400 rig refused to load Windows for some reason so no results from that rig.
These are all 1M results from the same SuperPi

PhenomII 3.2Ghz DDR3-1333(cl high as I went cheap ) Windows 7!

The good news is, this SuperPi seems to run on anything from 98SE all the way to Windows 7 (not taking into account Vista)

And yes sgt76, you read right. I actually got meself a netburst rig now!

And yes sgt76, you read right. I actually got meself a netburst rig now!

Haha... I actually did do a double take when I read your post!! Welcome to the club!

Just for kicks I tested my laptop (MacBook Pro Early 2011: Core i7-2720QM 2.2Ghz, 8GB DDR3, Win7 BootCamp). 12.854s. Going to try my other two machines, a P133 and an Athlon 64 3500+ I have here in a bit.

Just tested my Laptop. I set CPU Affinity in Task Manager to Core #2 for an added boost.

Phenom II X3 E840 (1.9GHz, Caspian core, 3x512mb L2 Cache, No L3) = 41.169s
HP G62-365CA, 880G Chipset, 4GB DDR3-1066, Win7x64

EDIT: Also my Media Centre (Again set affinity to Core #2):

Athlon X2 4850e (2.5GHz Brisbane, 2x512k L2) - 36.219s

My Main system as well:

Sorry, not enough memory for 1M, but also a result

[Tetrium]

Sorry, not enough memory for 1M, but also a result

Could you try out weather the version with the decimals works in Windows 3?
It would be awesome if it worked!

[maddmaxstar]

Hah! Awesome! What version of SuperPi is needed for Win3.x?, I'll try it on my slower machines!

[ratfink]

k6/3 450, ga5ax, 256mb pc100, win98fe 6m 18.131s [1M]

[Tetrium]

k6/3 450, ga5ax, 256mb pc100, win98fe 6m 18.131s [1M]

My K6-3 400 ga5ax doesn't work anymore

But anyway, couple more results:

Athlon XP 3200+ (2.2Ghz) sA 2GB DDR-400
57.406s

Athlon 64 3200+ s754 1GB DDR-400
45.015s

Athlon 64 3200+ s754 2GB DDR-400
42.594s

Now I want to build me a couple rigs just for SuperPi again .
Btw, I don't know why the 2 Athlon 64's have such different results, the CPU's are nearly identical, same fsb etc. I wonder what causes the difference. Maybe it's just the junk I have installed on these rigs

[AdamP]

Results from my Intel Core I7-720QM (: (not exactly retro, but what the hell)





Results form my Intel Pentium II SL2HE 166mhz (on 440bx):

Could you try out weather the version with the decimals works in Windows 3?
It would be awesome if it worked!

Well I checked:
Mod 1.5/XS uses kernel functions that got introduced in Win2K.
The version with the decimals requires Win9x. (I guess they patched a bit more, cause just adding decimals to the output can't explain the step from Win 3.x to Win9x requirements)
The original version from Prof. Yasumasa Kanada works however in Win 3.x.

[AdamP]

Mod 1.5/XS uses kernel functions that got introduced in Win2K.

I assume that's why mine crashes?
