I will keep the older PCs online for a while as a benchmark. (Anyone want a whetstone? dhrystone off of 2005 PCs?) I think the power cost per PC is too high to keep those old, venerable PCs online for too much longer. It would appear that processors have not gotten massively faster. More processors... lower power... Has anyone looked at math processing or has that been given up to the GPU world? Someone needs some serious innovation! Where are all the Digital Semi (aka DEC Alpha) folks from 15 years ago? Has the Intel megalith squashed all innovation in this realm? Be the best... Once you are established, then be reliable...

Hadn't paid too much attention. This may be already particularly obvious. Sorry if this is repetitive.

My i3-390m notebook will do around 3.5K RAC. So your estimate of about 3.6K is probably spot on. Depending on how much the turbo kicks in you could even get closers to 4K.

I got this little program that shows where the CPU sits, it stays at 2.9GHz, but I know it said it would bounce up to 3.1 I think. I haven't bothered looking into how to kick the turbo on, but after I see what this laptop tops out at, I'll figure that part out and see what the turbo does. LOL ID: 1269098 ·
