Hi, |
| 2 |
I'm in the market for a new laptop. I sold mine about a year ago |
| 3 |
and it's time to get a new one. I will run both Linux and Win XP on |
| 4 |
the machine. The Linux workload will not be anything substantial but |
| 5 |
when in Win XP I have a program that I'll be running that is very |
| 6 |
compute bound on my only XP desktop machine. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Does anyone know of good comparative data on BogoMIPs in Linux vs. |
| 9 |
real compute speed for different processors? I'm looking for some way |
| 10 |
to compare different processors in the laptops I'm looking at vs. my |
| 11 |
current XP desktop which is my slowest machine. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The application under Windows is doing neural network stuff. I have |
| 14 |
no idea how much of it is floating point based but my assumption is |
| 15 |
that is a pretty big part of the whole picture. Is the AMD FPU still |
| 16 |
superior to the Intel FPU or are they at parity these days? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The current machine has 768MB. The application never uses more than |
| 19 |
256MB and there is no significant disk I/O but the processor sits at |
| 20 |
100% in XP for hours doing it's work optimizing the neural network. |
| 21 |

Thanks in advance for any pointers. |
