I've been gathering stats on all the computers in my reach and found something I can't quite explain.
Here's how I do the memory test:
Code:
sysbench --num-threads=1 --test=memory --memory-access-mode=rnd --memory-oper=read --memory-total-size=1G run
My computers I get (Most of my older ones are < 150 MB/s):
Code:
Dell PowerEdge T100 - 8G Ram - X3360 CPU - 2934.1 MB/s
Dell PowerEdge 840 - 6G Ram - X3220 CPU - 2161.6 MB/s
Inspiron 530s - 3G Ram - E2200 CPU - 1918.3 MB/s
G41M-ES2L - 4G Ram - E5400 CPU - 468.1 MB/s
G41M-ES2L - 3G Ram - D 915 CPU - 359.3 MB/s
Can anyone tell me why the last two are so much slower? My first thought was the first two are servers with Xeon processors... but then that doesn't explain the 530. Then I thought memory speed but when you start swapping memory between the machines you get the same results. (Actually one of the G41M-ES2L has the memory from the PE 840.)
