A few colleagues of mine are a little skeptical about the Core 2 Duo. They've used Athlon 64s extensively, so they've come to like A64s, but I've told them that C2Ds are the way to go right now in almost all cases.
So to prove my point, I would very much appreciate it if any of you guys could take this small program and execute it. It's simple stuff, really: it does a series of (obviously harmless to you!) calculations and then returns the time it took to finish. The calculations themselves are a mix of typical code from my colleagues, which makes this an adequate representation of their performance requirements.
So let's get to it:
Here's the binary! (NOT a virus, don't worry)
It's only one file: the executable, bmark3.exe, which takes a while to run, then simply reports a time.
...and I've scored ~37 seconds on an Athlon 64 X2 4200, an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe and 2GB DDR400 (OCZ Platinum Enhanced Latency @ 2-3-2-5). Unfortunately, there are a few fluctuations in the results if you run this several times, but the result doesn't fluctuate beyond, say, ±5% from the average if you do the statistics.
If possible, I'd like anyone who runs this to say on which CPU + motherboard + memory this was executed on!!
Oh, and sorry for not making the source available - they've told me not to do so.
Please help me by just running this and reporting!! Even if you don't have a C2D! I'm very much interested in any performance I can get for this! Thanks!
