P4 & Linpack: A wacky design manifestation? So I was looking at that Anand review, with the dual P4's exhibiting the same strange 'ringing' behavior with respect to linpack data sizes... Seems to me that this is probably not throttling, unlike some of the other exhibits. (The two processors seem too similar for this to be the result of independent TCCs triggering) So what is it? The P3 and the Athlon don't have this kind of curve. Is something wacked with the P4's cache subsystem / hardware prefetching strategy? Why all this ringing? There's a 15-20% performance difference, depending on tiny shifts in the dataset size. Where is Scumbria when we need him? Doug The P4. It throttles. It rings. It produces lots of heat. Sounds like they built a locomotive instead of a CPU.
