Benchmark

Dell M65 notebook

Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz

2 GB RAM @ 1.99 GHz

 

Windows XP

 

I shut down Outlook, iTunes, and other memory hogs.

 

In our benchmarks the M70 and M65 are pretty close. Some toolpaths - like Parallel seem to be faster on the M65. They have better graphics cards, so when the toolpath includes showing graphics during the calculations, they are faster on the M65, otherwise equivalent.

How many of you guys posting these 5 minute times reran the benchmark to get these low times? The last time we went through one of these benchmark deals, it was found that if you run it a second time it was a lot faster because everything was in the cache.

 

I can't believe that there is such a difference in these times, with the computers being so close in spec. There is no reason for the xeons to be twice as fast with a program like Mastercam that doesn't take advantage of dual processors. They do have a little more cache on the chip, but this isn't really proving anything....

Just for grins, those with INTEL and HT turned on, try turning Hyperthreading OFF and re-run the test.

MC locks up at different times, while changing the

total tol 1st time. I almost got to hit the regen before it locked on me the 2nd time.

 

Turning it back on, no problems.

 

Did this happen to anyone who tried this?

Mastercam can't use the dual core, but the computer can. The dual core frees up proccessing

power because WinDoze and all the computer overhead can run on one proccessor freeing up the other one to crunch Mastercam.

 

The evidence is pretty clear. Dual core pentiums

are beating single core pentiums and single core Xeons. Dual core Xeons are smoking everything.

It would be interesting to see what kinds of times

a quad core Xeon would produce.

12min 7sec(1st pass) not bad for less than $1000system

 

Autosave was on at 7min interval so it saved once durring test. Also running Ramsaver Pro.
