Hi All, In the spirit of looking back at how far we've come to make this latest discovery, I made up a little chart of processors ranked by something that attempts to be GIMPS speed per Mhz... that is:
(GIMPS speed ratio vs. P-90) / (Mhz / 90) Here's the list; I've made no attempt to show the affect of clock speed within families; the processors are simply grouped by type and memory subsystem. P4/RAMBUS 2.5 P4/PC133 2.2 AthlonXP/PC2100 1.8 Thunderbird/PC2100 1.7 Thunderbird/PC100 1.7 Athlon/PC100 1.7 Thunderbird/PC133 1.6 Duron/PC1600 1.6 Duron/PC133 1.6 Duron/PC100 1.6 PIII/PC100 1.4 PIII/PC133 1.3 PII/PC100 1.2 PPro/66 1.2 PIII/PC2100 1.1 PII/PC66 1.1 Celeron/PC100 1.1 Celeron/PC66 1.1 PPro/60 1.0 PentiumMMX/66 1.0 Pentium/66 1.0 Pentium/60 1.0 K6-3/PC100 0.5 K6-3/66 0.4 K6-2/PC100 0.4 K6-2/PC66 0.4 K6 0.4 Cyrix M2 0.3 Cyrix 6x86 0.2 Cyrix 5x86 0.2 486 0.1 --- Ethan O'Connor [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
