Did some runs on your latest version mate... not the slowest CPU out there
It doesn't quite beat a Dual W5590, but it gets damned close for a single CPU
Just wish I could select 12 Threads, would probably net a better score.

Nope.. it's a Westmere-EP (--> DP CPU)
Gulftowns are single QPI chips, like the upcoming Core i7 980 XE.
I see.. oh well, I really hate math, so I can live with thatThere's no 12-thread option because a lot of the internal algorithms simply don't allow non-powers of two. It's inherent in the math.
So I'm forced to just round it up.
hmm... I thought all the dual-sockets ended in "-town".
Clovertown
Harpertown
Gainestown
Gulftown?
Also, since these dominate the single-socket categories, is it safe for me to update the records list on my webpage? They're ES and not yet retail, so... your call.
haha

ES Samples have been circulating since September 2009 or so, I think I got my first one in October, so it's been a while. Retail launch of this particular CPU will be March 16th, so it's not that far off.
Include them if you like
You are right, Intel broke their consistent naming scheme for this one. While the whole LGA1366 32nm Lineup (Quads and Hexas) with Hardware AES Support falls under the "Westmere" family (Tick - Tock, Nehalem was Tick, Westmere is Tock), Gulftown is the codename for single QPI desktop parts, like Bloonmfield was for the i7's.
Westmere-EP is the successor of Gainestown, they were probably looking to put that in line with the later-to-arrive Westmere-EX (<-> Nehalem-EX/Beckton successor).

This Turion M520 should be as fast as T6600 or P8400 ^_^

Looks like the swap bench will have to wait. They shipped me MAX3147RCs instead of MBA3147RCs.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
Sorry to hear that.
I still have a number of different things that need to be fixed/redone before the program is stable enough for beta-testing.
I'm probably just gonna release it as a public alpha... Alpha instead of Beta since it'll probably be the first in a series of successive optimizations - so there's gonna be a lot of changes to come... even after I release it.

Looks like I've been beat pretty well now...
500m Pi:
TPi v0.9.2: 554 seconds
y-cruncher v0.5.2: 588 seconds
Process Explorer shows TPi as not using a lot of CPU, especially towards the end of the computation... and yet it is still so fast... lol
TPi:
Series + Division: 410.28
Square Root: 23.861
Final Multiply: 20.467
Base Conversion: 100.068
Total: 554 seconds
y-cruncher:
Series + Division: 435.572
Square Root: 15.695
Final Multiply: 9.008
Base Conversion: 128.166
Total: 588 seconds
y-cruncher may have faster arithmetic, but it doesn't mean anything if I'm not using the formula properly...
If only I'm a lot better at math...

Another update on v0.5.2:
The code is done. And I've compiled the build that will "most likely" be the one that I release.
It's taken quite a while because Advanced Swap Mode required a fairly large program-design restructuring at the top level - which more or less broke half the existing features.
I didn't get everything working again until yesterday. Not to mention that I had a ton of midterms over the past 2 weeks...
I have one test I wanna do before I release it, but I can't start it until my Core i7 rig finishes a VERY LARGE test/task that it's doing right now. (it's almost done...)
In the meantime, here's a small screenie of the option selection menu for Advanced Swap Mode:
This will be the final test that I wanna run before I release the program.
ETA: 2 - 5 days on my Core i7 rig - which has gotten a bit of an upgrade for this purpose...

Version 0.5.2 is out!!!
The greatest feature is of course: Advanced Swap Mode.
This feature is accessible in the "Custom Compute a Constant" option.
It's under "Computation Mode". But you must select at least 100,000,000 digits for the option to appear.
Now for starters:
Let's see who can beat this?
(click to enlarge)
Aside from a couple of large computations (including a new world record of 500 billion digits of e), this version is largely untested.
So please let me know of any bugs or errors you find.
I may start a new thread for this - this time, for hard drive benchmarking...

Very nice improvement
Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
The XS WCG team needs your support.
A good project with good goals.
Come join us,get that warm fuzzy feeling that you've done something good for mankind.
Only AMD gets that much improvement. Core i7 doesn't even come close.
I haven't done any small Core 2 benches yet, so I don't know how much it gets. But I don't think it gets as much as K10 either...
Are you telling me you've got as many drives as cores?
