Mersenne: Williamette
Hmm. Microprocessor Reports has released some interesting tidbits about the new Williamette processor which will probably be the Pentium-4... This is the chip Intel recently demonstrated running at 1.5GHz. begin quote Willamette will be packaged in flip-chip PGA (FC PGA) and was designed for a socket of between 400 and 500 pins, which Intel referred to as Socket-W. The unnamed Willamette bus is a source- synchronous 64-bit 100MHz bus that is quad-pumped to an equivalent of 400MHz per bit, delivering a total of 3.2GB/s of bandwidth--three times the bandwidth of the fastest Pentium III bus. The chip set for Willamette, code-named Tehama, will be a dual-RAC (RDRAM) design. A unique and unexpected aspect of Willamette's microarchitecture is its "double-pumped" ALUs. Claiming the effective performance of four ALUs, the two physical ALUs are each capable of executing an operation in every half-clock cycle. The anticipated improvements to SSE, called SSE2, were introduced in Willamette, including support for (dual) double-precision SIMD floating-point operations. end quote so, its more than just a 1GHz+ P-III design, they've done some significant architectural internal things. And, that double SIMD FPU thing otta rock for LL tests, eh? :D -jrp _ Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
Mersenne: Fill my mailbox
Hi all, The Mersenne benchmark page is badly out of date. I'm going to create a new page and I need data (Intel-compatible CPUs only). Please send ONLY VERSION 19 TIMINGS. Please email to me, NOT THE ENTIRE MAILING LIST, the following data (if unsure of a value that's OK). Email the entire mailing list if you want to discuss which data is collected. CPU type: Pentium, PPro, P-II, P-III, Xeon, Celeron, K6, Athlon, etc. For coppermine, note the E or B designator if you know it CPU Speed: in megahertz L2 cache size: in KB L2 cache speed: as a multiplier of CPU speed (esp. for Athlons) Bus Speed: 66, 100, or 133 MHz (overclockers may have other values) Timings:Use Advanced/Time on these exponents (M = million): 3M, 3.5M, 4M, 5M, 6M, 7M, 8M, 10M, 12M, 14M, 16M, 18M Send the BEST time. Try to get these timings when the machine is otherwise idle. OS: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, Linux, etc. Notes: Any other special information you think I might need to know. For example: uses PC133 memory instead of RAMBUS. For example, my PII-400 benchmark machine is: CPU type: PII CPU Speed: 400 L2 cache size: 512KB (I think) L2 cache speed: 1/2 of CPU speed Bus Speed: 100 MHz Timings:3M = .083, 3.5M = .098, 4M = .119, 5M = .132, 6M = .173, 7M = .211, 8M = .252, 10M = .281, 12M = .372, 14M = .453, 16M = .536, 18M = .600 I'll construct a page that gives the typical timings for each CPU type and speed.
