 |
|
Hi Freaks,
while running some mprimes and showing /proc/cpuinfo, i discovered my OLD Gentoo Box has MORE bogomips than my NEW 
Could it be real that a 2.0 Ghz Woodcrest (333MhzFSB) with 4Mb cache perform WORSE than a 2.8 Ghz Prestonia (200MhzFSB) with 512KB Cache? Im confused ^^

Oh, the English one is BETTER than the German -> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomips
"It is not usable for performance comparison between different CPUs." is missing... or i haven't interpreted it right 
Anyways - this list is missing the new cores and that system looks weird to me... |

| Bogomips are a timing value. The higher your clock, the higher the bogomips number. It doesn't indicate performance in any way. |
