Recently comparing a AMD Athlon64 4000+ (2.4Ghz) to a Intel P4 830D (3.0Ghz), I was intrigued by a finding.
I knew P4s could do LL tests faster than an Athlon with the SSE2 code. I also knew Athlons were faster than P4s with factoring up to 2^65. It was my understanding that with the SSE2 factoring, the P4s were faster over 2^65 though. I was therefore not surprised to see the P4 do better than the Athlon for the LL tests. But was a little surprised to see the Athlon show considerably faster times over every bit-depth of factoring, with the higher the bit-depth the more the Athlon blew the P4 away. It made me curious. Does anybody know which would be faster for P-1 and ECM testing? And maybe as a suggestion, have these timings added to the benchmarks Prime95 generates? _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
