More claims of Hammer SPEC scores and once again they are compared to a crippled P4.



Athlon 64 SPEC results out

For Screaming Sindy 2

By INQUIRER staff: Friday 27 December 2002, 10:01


OUR GERMAN READERS tell us that the first paper edition of c't magazine for 2003 contains some more benchmarks for the Athlon64 prototype they recently tested, along with code optimised for SSE 2 and using an Intel compiler.
There's a long list of results for SPECFP2000, and you'll have to buy the paper edition to see them all, but usually c't puts the results onto its Web site after a little while.

The magazine compares a 1.2GHz Athlon64 to a 2.2GHz Pentium 4, and here's a small flavour of the results:

168.wupise 782 (Athlon 64), 1025 (Pentium 4); 179.art 861 (Athlon 64), 367 (Pentium 4). The mag gives a SPECfp_base of 719 for the Athlon 64 and 677 for the Pentium 4.

It also publishes SPECintbase2000 scores of 755 for the AMD chip, and 774 for the Pentium 4.
