A 900MHz Itanium 2 holds the top spot, followed by an Athlon Thoroughbred with a clock speed of 2863MHz, and a Pentium 4 Northwood clocked to 3481MHz.
But in 11th place we find a Pentium M 1.5GHz, beating up some 2GHz Athlon processors, while in position 14 is a 1.4GHz Pentium M. This beats up some desktop AMD and Intel chips too.

There a lot of interests in these Pentium M chips
good Seti Crunchers…

Those M chips are comparable in performance to a PIV that’s a gig higher (can’t remember where I read that though)… v.interesting!
… and a couple hundred $$$ more…
Still, if they could get the cost down they could replace the regular P4 line completely. Then again, this is Intel…
Do we have anything like this table for our team? would be interesting to see what we can do. Anyone reckon they could do this?

We have a benchmarks site, run by Mr Mulda:

I sent in a time from my works new lappy a few weeks ago.
Sony Vaio
900MHz M 
can’t quite remember how quick it was but i think is was around the 3.3H mark 
This benchmark, does it use the same WU as the OcUK benchmark? (I want to save myself from crunching it again if it is, I already have the result!)
No it’s before the time of the ‘OcUK Benchmark’, and ours actually gets checked for errors rather than checking that the size of the file is correct :rolleyes:.

Ooh, saucer of milk for table 5 please

Its different as far as I am aware, as per Speedo Mulda’s
was the set standard in days gone by least said and moved
here with us.
If you look at the archives in Mulda’s benchmarks you’ll
see past history and prob some recognised faces of days
gone by;)
Even zouo in there with a time of 104.92 hrs 
To save any confusion, thechnically the OcUK benchmark predates the TPR benchmark, but since I was responsible for both it’s a bit of a moot point really 
Both units are different and yield very slightly different times (the TPR bench is a tiny bit tougher than the OcUK one).
After the creation of TPR, as requested by the OcUK hierarchy, I sent all the old data I was responsible for along with detailed instructions on how to validate the results to some guy at OcUK HQ - he never responded to my mail and I can only presume he never passed it on to Gibbo as Gibbo started afresh with the same unit although I do believe his validation of the returned results isn’t as strict as mine (/grabs saucer from table 5).
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to update the TPR pages for some time now as the PC with the web pages and validation files is still in storage from when I moved house a couple of months back. I think I’ve mailed all the folks with submissions regarding this so I apologise here for anyone I’ve missed.
And back to the topic of discussion, the Pentium M’s biggest benefit is the 1Mb L2 cache which effectively makes it a Xeon - rumour has it that this will be implemented in the next generation of Desktop P4’s due on the shelves later this year but whether this will be true is anyone’s guess :shrug:
For those with access to corporate servers, HP/Compaq has managed to do a deal with Intel to get the P-M into Servers, but their first (and possibly only) implementation will be in their Blade Server range - eyes peeled
