Benchmark for Core2 Quad Q6600

From Leo's Notes
Last edited on 11 October 2022, at 07:07.

This is the benchmark result from an old HP Pavilion M8120n workstation. This was first released back in July 2007. It's still working as of 2022, but it has a bunch of bad capacitors on its motherboard.

The motherboard is ASUS P5BW-LA (Basswood2) and its manual can be found at https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5B/e2620_p5b.pdf.

The benchmark's IO was done on a ramdisk.
