Benchmarking old systems
Gearing up to soon buy a new laptop – taking stock of old ones still hanging around the house:
- Lenovo X60Â (Intel Core Duo T2400 @ 1.83GHz)
- Lenovo X61Â (Intel Core 2 Duo SV T7300 @2GHz 2 cores)
- Lenovo X200 Tablet [x200t] (ca. 2008?) (Intel Core 2 Duo L9400 @ 1.87Ghz 2 cores)
- Lenovo X220 Tablet [garnier] (ca. 2011?) (Intel Core i7-2620M @ 3.40Ghz 4 cores)
and my desktop (Intel Core i7 CPU 980 @ 3.33GHz with a Asus P6X58D-E, 12 cores) [zotique] (names in [brackets] refer to the system name below). Most of my work is done on ECCO anyway, but the occasional test runs and compiles are done on these systems. Still use the X61 and the X200T for travel (when you don’t want to bring everything with you), and they still (kind of) work well. More precise benchmarking using the Phoronix Test Suite:
