I am not aware of any such bias with Firebird but it certainly can exist
with other software.
Intel provides what I am told is an excellent compiler - which they
provide for free - and many software companies utilize it. That compiler
has long been known to generate executables that are crippled when run
on non-Intel CPU's. There have been a quantity of reports, possibly
some legal action, and I don't know that anything has changed.
However - I believe the binaries provided for Firebird are not generated
by that compiler so it's not an issue. In your case, based on your
description, you have similar systems with similar drives so unless
there was *significant* calculations required I'm not surprised you have
similar performance.

Hello all,
I ran an update query on a database with a computer and a notebook.
CPU's computer is Phenom 1075T, while notebook is i5 2557M.
Query is very simple, something like : update tbl set ln = 9;
Firebird on Computer is SS 3.0.3, on notebook SS 3.0.2, both runs on
Windows x64, both using SSD with roughly, same speed.
I thought, query will runs much faster on a computer, but to my
surprise, it runs almost the same time on both machine.
Query runs in a single thread, on computer, runs around 3-3.5GHz, on
notebook, runs about 2.7GHz.
I am planning to upgrade my computer to ryzen, but with this result,
make me wonder if Firebird favor intel's cpu.

Anto
