SuperPi and wPrime SuperPi is a single threaded benchmark that simply calculates digits out to a specific number of places and times how long it takes. For this, we used the XS mod 1.5 version, since this is most common among overclockers. According to the wPrime website, wprime does the following:
"wPrime uses a recursive call of Newton's method for estimating
functions, with f(x)=x2-k, where k is the number
we're sqrting, until Sgn(f(x)/f'(x)) does not equal that of the
previous iteration, starting with an estimation of k/2. It then
uses an iterative calling of the estimation method a set amount
of times to increase the accuracy of the results. It then
confirms that n(k)2=k to ensure the calculation was
correct. It repeats this for all numbers from 1 to the requested
maximum. "
wPrime is essentially calculating prime numbers and then timing how long it takes. For this, we are using version 2.00. In both cases, times are in seconds, and lower numbers are better.
The results here show an interesting twist: Intel absolutely owns SuperPi in both 1M and 32M, but the 940 really kicks it up a notch in wPrime, only losing out to the x3360 when it hits 4GHz.
