Pre-release tester with x64 Windows & SSE3 P4 needed

[Mike O]

Here is my results
Hope its meaningful info Raistmer.
By watching the cmd window, looks like the 64 bit gave a bit of a boost.

That test package was mostly for AMD, I will prepare another one with more P4 oriented apps. It seems this SSE3 x64 can be competitive for P4.

@Mike O
Could you run bench, attached to this post too.
Here all SSE3 apps suitable for SSE3 P4 with x64 Win OS.

Sure.. Sorry for the delay.. lots of hours at work.
will post with results later today

here is the   intel 6 sses results.

So, x64 SSE3 build faster than x86 one on Intel's CPUs and V8b is viable build too.

Is it possible to meet host with Intel SSE3-only CPU but with CUDA capable GPU card? I.e. can these CPUs  be inserted into motherboard with PCI-Express slot ?

  Yes but only x86 is *likely* though x64 possible.  My p4 SSE3 is running cuda app now installer with the installer, and 9600GSO.  putting x64 on that one would be a waste, because the board will take a Q6600, which would be a better upgrade, then be worth it ... but no longer fit the profile of SSE3 only.

Ok, thanks.
There could be obsolette P4 SSE3 but with x64 OS - if corporation has corporate Windows licanses or MSDNAA for example, but have no money to upgrade hardware. Very common case to me indeed

@Mike O
Could you run one more test case, please.
This one has Intel-specific build that can be slightly more faster (I hope) htan Intel/AMD generic one.

[Mumps]

OK.  One down.  The first of the Irwindales.

[Mumps]

The second of the Irwindales...

[Mumps]

And lastly the Dempsey...

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Mumps]

OK.  Those three were with the AMD version I found earliest in the thread.  Now I've grabbed the later Intel specific version and am launching those runs.

[Raistmer]

Ok, all 3 test show that Xeons don't like AMD build. Second Xeon core called Nocona. What difference between Nocona and Irwindale?

[Jason G]

Not a lot. but could make some diffeerence.  I beleive Irwindale has twice the size L2 cache than Nocona, and some attempts to reduce the idle power usage.

(I prefer Nescafe Blend 43 over Nocona anyway  )
