(move topic if forum section is wrong)

Sorry for bad english, but i try to find some info about rosetta client. I discover that there aren't simd optimizations on rosetta (cry)...

Ayway i make also the boinc's whetstone benchmark... same benchmark of sandra 12.34 (that was very close to linpack OR blas bench. Useful for math test... yeah i know, only for windows).

So, why not make a really comparison of cpus? (and maybe we can see the real power of cpu in math avalable for rosetta & co.)

Seems a bit convoluted,

Just use GeekBench, and record compare it to results already online...

or a similar style benchmark program.

Unfortunatly SiSoft, Whetstone would not pull the real power Rosetta could use.
You would be best of finding some default 'R@H work' to use as benchmarks

Just goes to show you that SSE would make a big difference in the Rosetta application, depending on how FPU-intensive Rosetta is.
