AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3GHz CPU Review

wPrime

wPrime is a leading multithreaded benchmark for x86 processors that tests your processor performance by calculating square roots with 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.

Benchmark Results: The AMD Phenom II X6 1was 23.457 seconds or 8.5% faster than the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T and nearly 19% faster than the Intel Core I7 930!
