Pentium D vs Anthlon 4400 for MAME

<< < (7/9) > >>

genesim:
I don't own both, I bought them both, and I want to take back one of them.

As for reasearch....I researched ---my bottom--- off, and I got the same advice I am getting here.

BUT the problem is that the Pentium D is running faster.   

Now here is what I got.   A MAME Dev, and Toms Hardware(check out my chart posting) saying that the Pentium D 930 is faster then the 4400 for a single core application.     

Hell, maybe I have answered my own question since I have both computers at my house to compare!

rockin_rick:
(It is my opinion) that the "Lame 3.98 beta....." benchmark at Tom's Hardware is the closest (not dead on) chart for comparing MAME performance.  I believe that Lame only utilizes one core, like MAME.  I came to this conclusion after reading CPU reviews and their benchmarks, and compared that info with MAME benchmarks, etc. 

FWIW

FrizzleFried:
OK...lets use those benchmarks.  According to that benchmark the AMD XP4400+ is 94.5% as fast as the Pentium D.  OK...lets entertain the fact that the Pentium D is faster...

...just about 5% faster...

That gives you your answer...but still doesn't explain why you are getting such dismal performance with the AMD machine....as it sounds like it's running more than 5% slower.

Dmod:
This still isn't clear to me from reading through this thread...

Are you running the exact same version of MAME (or MAME32) on both machines with the exact same set of options (especially the ddraw and d3d settings)?

Have you tried backing off to an older MAME version to see if that helps?  Could be a new issue that creeped into this latest version of MAME.  Try something like v102 and see if that resolves the problem.

Why would you buy two processors just to test them knowing there is a restocking fee?
