Hi Folks, Sorry for any cross-posting which may affect any of you!
I've been asked the following, but don't know the technicalities to provide an answer myself.
Given that a certain simulation job (10,000 rounds) takes 6-8 hours on an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.59GHz machine, what might it take (i.e. what speed factor) on a machine with
a) IntelR CoreT2 Duo E6400
b) IntelR CoreT2 Duo E6600
c) IntelR CoreT2 Duo E6700
(Ball-park will do). I haven't been given the GHz speeds for these other processors, but a quick Google suggests they're all around 2.6GHz, give or take a bit.
The computations for the simulation are numerically intensive; also much reading to & writing from RAM.
With thanks, Ted.
