Laptops and Portables

Panasonic ToughBook U1

The ToughBook U1 is a unique and highly ruggedized UMPC released by Panasonic in 2008, and built around Intel's hyper-threaded "Silverthorne" Atom microprocessor, featuring a 32 KiB instruction cache and a 24 KiB data cache, along with a unified 512 KiB secondary cache. The Z520 model featured in the U1 has a 1.33 GHz clock frequency, and is connected to an Intel US15W System Controller Hub using a 533 MHz front-side bus. The US15W SCH features an integrated memory controller connected to 1 GiB of on-board DDR2 memory, likely with 533 MT/s data rate, though 400 MT/s is possible. All tests are performed under Windows XP with the Cygwin environment, on a system not specifically configured for benchmarking.

Dell Latitude E6420

The E6420 is a midrange 14-inch business notebook introduced in early 2012, this particular configuration features Intel's dual-core, hyper-threaded Core i5 "Sandy Bridge" microprocessor with 32+32 KiB per-core instruction and data caches, 256 KiB per-core second level cache, a 3 MiB shared tertiary cache and a standard 2.6 GHz clock and maximum frequency of 3.3 GHz. All models of the E6420 are built around Intel's QM67 express chipset, connected to the system processor through a 5 GT/s Direct Media Interface. This system is configured with 4 GiB of DDR3 SDRAM clocked at 667 MHz (for 1333 MT/s data rate) and directly interfaced to the processor's on-die memory controller. All tests are performed under CentOS 7.5.1804 on a system not specifically configured for benchmarking.

All results reflect single-threaded execution. This version of LINPACK does not take any advantage of multi-core and multi-threaded processors.

Desktops/Personal Computers

Lenovo 3000 J115 (7387-26U)

Released in late 2006 as one of Lenovo's first entries into the United States market under their own name; a fairly average entry-level PC built around AMD's dual-core Athlon 64 X2 microprocessor with 64+64 KiB shared instruction and data caches, 512 KiB per-core second level cache and a 2 GHz clock frequency (model 3800+). The 3000 J115 employs NVIDIA's nForce 410 chipset, which connects to the system processor through a 1 GHz HyperTransport bus. This system is configured with 1 GiB of DDR2 SDRAM clocked at 266 MHz (for 533 MT/s data rate) and directly interfaced to the Athlon 64 X2's on-die memory controller. All tests are performed under CentOS 7.5.1804 on a system not specifically configured for benchmarking.

HP VISUALIZE C3000 (9000/785/C3000)

A mid-range Unix workstation released in 1999, based on HP's indigenous PA-8500 microprocessor with 1 MiB of on-die data cache, 512 KiB of on-die instruction cache and a clock frequency of 400 MHz. The C3000's microprocessor is interfaced to the "Astro" chipset through a 120 MHz Runway+ bus. The particular system tested had 2,560 megabytes of SDRAM, also running at 120 MHz, and was not specifically configured for benchmarking. All tests are performed under HP-UX 11.11 (11i v1).

Non-Unix Workstations

The following results are from workstations not running a Unix-like operating system, compatibility environment or otherwise lacking the proper accommodations to build the LINPACK sources provided in this package as-is. Source/build tweaks are noted on a per-system basis.

HP Vectra XU 6/200

The Vectra XU 6/200 was first released in early 1996, succeeding the XU 6/150 as the pinnacle of the Vectra line and HP's PC-compatible systems overall, built around one or two Intel Pentium Pro microprocessors with 8+8 KiB instruction and data caches, 256 or 512 KiB of off-die, on-package full-speed secondary cache and clock frequencies of 200 MHz. The system processors are interfaced to Intel's 440FX "Natoma" chipset through a 66 MHz front-side bus.

The particular example tested was equipped with dual 200 MHz Pentium Pro microprocessors with 512 KiB secondary caches and 128 MiB of memory running at 66 MHz. This system was freshly configured, but not specifically customized for optimal benchmark performance. All tests are performed under Windows NT 4.0, service pack 6.
