Processor achieves fastest four-way floating point benchmark

27 July 2005 DSP, Micros & Memory

Based on internal testing by Intel, the forthcoming dual-core Intel Itanium processor, code-named Montecito, demonstrated a 60% performance increase over a previous technical computing benchmark posted by a four-way RISC-based system, according to the company. Using the Linpack benchmark, which measures floating point performance, a four-processor dual-core Itanium processor exceeded 45 GFLOPs (45 billion floating-point operations per second). The previous record was 27,5 GFLOPs. According to Intel, platforms using Montecito are expected to deliver up to twice the performance, up to three times the system bandwidth, and over 2,5 times as much on-die cache as the current generation of Itanium processors. In addition to boosting performance, Montecito is expected to also consume 20% lower power than previous Itanium processors.
