wPrime Multithreaded Benchmark

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. (learn more)

wPrime 2.07 and Super PI 1.7 released (NEW)

20-Dec-2011

We've just released wPrime 2.06 and Super PI 1.7. These updates add CPUz version 1.59. A parsing bug was fixed which would miss some motherboard information. 2.07 also checked the number of physical CPUs installed and incorporated this into the save files. 2.07 save files are not compatible with older versions. The unexpected error caused by running as an unprivileged user has been fixed by forcing wPrime to request admin status.

Super PI 1.7 adds hardware detection with CPUz 1.59 and on-line submission.
