Laptops and Portables

Panasonic ToughBook U1

The ToughBook U1 is a unique and highly ruggedized UMPC released by Panasonic in 2008, and built around Intel's hyper-threaded "Silverthorne" Atom microprocessor, featuring a 32 KiB instruction cache and a 24 KiB data cache, along with a unified 512 KiB secondary cache. The Z520 model featured in the U1 has a 1.33 GHz clock frequency, and is connected to an Intel US15W System Controller Hub using a 533 MHz front-side bus. The US15W SCH features an integrated memory controller connected to 1 GiB of on-board DDR2 memory, likely with 533 MT/s data rate, though 400 MT/s is possible. All tests are performed under Windows XP with the Cygwin environment, on a system not specifically configured for benchmarking.

Desktops/Personal Computers

Lenovo 3000 J115 (7387-26U)

Released in late 2006 as one of Lenovo's first entries into the United States market under their own name; a fairly average entry-level PC built around AMD's dual-core Athlon 64 X2 microprocessor with 64+64 KiB shared instruction and data caches, 512 KiB per-core second level cache and a 2 GHz clock frequency (model 3800+). All tests are performed under CentOS 7.5.1804 on a system not specifically configured for benchmarking.

All results reflect single-threaded execution. This version of Whetstone does not take any advantage of multi-core processors.

Workstations

HP VISUALIZE C3000 (9000/785/C3000)

A mid-range Unix workstation released in 1999, based on HP's indigenous PA-8500 microprocessor with 1 MiB of on-die data cache, 512 KiB of on-die instruction cache and a clock frequency of 400 MHz. All tests are performed under HP-UX 11.11 (11i v1) on a system not specifically configured for benchmarking.
