The question often comes up "What processor is good to run x?" and the response is usually ends up pointing to the MAME benchmarks page at http://benchmark.mameworld.net/ . However, there really aren't that many benchmarks in that database, and lots of the ones that are there are for games that almost no one has any trouble running. Yes, this request is selfish, 'cause I'm about to upgrade my cabinet... but if everyone could take a moment and add a few benchmarks to the database, I think it would be a great help for all of us. I'm adding in data for an Athlon 64 at 1800 and 2000 MHz right now, and I'm going to go into my office later where I have access to my test lab and get some on some other machines. Let's fill that database up! :) --Chris |

I just finished running some benchmarks using my P4 3.2GHz at work... I was surprised by the results. On the newer 3D systems the P4 outperformed the Athlon 64 2800+ (1.8GHz, some tests overclocked to 2GHz), as expected. But on older 2D systems, the Athlon was usually faster, sometimes by a wide margin! Example: Soul Edge Athlon 64 at 1800 MHz: 49 fps Athlon 64 at 2000 MHz: 55 fps Pentium 4 at 3200 MHz: 68 fps Example: RoadBlasters Athlon 64 at 2000 MHz: 180 fps Pentium 4 at 3200 MHz: 96 fps And here's the real surprise... Example: Pac-Man Athlon 64 at 1800 MHz: 648 fps Pentium 4 at 3200 MHz: 87 fps :o Both tests run using the same version of MAME .111b , the default download. I'm at a loss to explain the P4's aversion to Pac-Man. --Chris |

Very interesting results I would say. I should do some benchmarking of my own. I have 3 machines to try things out on, but my P4 2.2 machine that runs the cab isn't exactly modern by any stretch. GT |
