SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the performance benchmarks of Intel's Penryn CPU family, specifically the dual-core version's ability to achieve a SpecInt2000 score of 4000. Users reference the SPEC website for results related to the Intel T9500, which operates at 2.6GHz, showing SpecInt 2006 Base scores between 18.1 and 18.6. A rough conversion multiplier of approximately 145 is suggested for translating these results to SpecInt2000, although verification of this multiplier remains unconfirmed. Users are encouraged to explore Extremeoverclocking.com and extremesystems.com for additional benchmarking insights.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of CPU architecture and performance metrics
  • Familiarity with SPEC benchmarks, specifically SpecInt2000 and SpecInt2006
  • Knowledge of overclocking techniques and their impact on CPU performance
  • Ability to interpret benchmarking results and conversion factors
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the SPEC benchmarking methodology for SpecInt2000 and SpecInt2006
  • Explore overclocking strategies for Intel CPUs, focusing on the Penryn family
  • Investigate the performance characteristics of the Intel T9500 and its benchmarks
  • Learn how to calculate and verify conversion multipliers for CPU benchmarks
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for hardware enthusiasts, performance analysts, and anyone involved in benchmarking Intel CPUs, particularly those interested in the Penryn architecture and its performance metrics.

I am trying to run down a claim on Intel's upcoming CPU family release - Penryn. The claim: a dual core version at one of the available clock rates in that line will do a SpecInt2000 of 4000. Intel's tech documents just list a % improvement on prior models, AFAICT. I'm looking for an actual benchmark, and I read they are plenty of beta/ developer chips already out there. Has anyone seen something, or perhaps care to point to a reliable site to check?

Thanks for any help.

Are you talking about an overclocked PC? .. check Extremeoverclocking.com or extremesystems.com.

No.

I have found results publish on the SPEC site for the Intel T9500, a Penryn running 2.6GHz here:
http://www.spec.org/cgi-bin/osgresults
search for T9500. The Lenova T61 and Dell Precision M6300 report SpecInt 2006 Base 18.1 to 18.6. Is not clear to me how to convert this to a rough SpecInt2000. Searching for a few processors that have published results for both 2000 and 2006 tests suggest a multiplier of ~145 but I can't otherwise check that.
