[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] 386 performance

OBL8807@TREARN.BITNET (Cem Ozudemirturk) (11/27/90)

  Does anybody know the landmark or norton speed test results for a 25 mhz 386
at? Is the  25 mhz   386's performance   great enough  when comparing with a
12 mhz 286? There is  a great difference between 4.77 mhz 8088 and 12 mhz 80286
is there also  a  big difference 12 mhz 286 and 25 mhz 386?Any information
or comment will be helpful. thank you.

                                                    Cem.

	I don't have Landmark or Norton results, but the following
	benchmark results tabulated here for several UNIX and DOS
	machines may be of interest to users with floating point
	intensive applications.
		No claim of general usefulness is made for this
	benchmark - it is too simple and specialized for that.
	However, I find it useful in comparing machines for the
	floating-point-intensive digital modem simulation and signal 
	processing applications I am frequently concerned with.

  FORTRAN BENCHMARK: Perform 128 FFT's of COMPLEX*8 1024-point array.

	The latest version of these results and the benchmark's FORTRAN 
source are always available via anonymous ftp from trantor.harris-atd.com 
(26.13.0.98) in the "benchmarks" directory.

	Please send any results you obtain on unrepresented machines to:

	sonny@trantor.harris-atd.com (Bob Davis)

	Thanks,
	Bob.

							~Landmark
10 MHz 286 (1 Waitstate):				9.5
12 MHz 286 (0 Waitstates):				15.5
16 MHz 386sx (0 Waitstates):				19
25 MHz 386 (no cache, 1 Waitstate)			26
25 MHz 386 (no cache but page-interleaved memory)	33
25 MHz 386 (with cache)					44
33 MHz 386 (with cache)					56
25 MHz 486 (with cache)					112

These values may vary a bit for different boards. These values are for
ISA boards, Microchannel boards often work without Waitstates and they
are faster than ISA boards without cache at same clock rate.
