New CMIPS v. 1.0.3 measurements with:
- RackSpace First Generation instance. 30 GB RAM – 8 Cores – 1200 GB Disk with a Processor Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2374 HE and performing 4,539 CMIPS, and taking 220.289 seconds to complete the test
- Digital Ocean 96GB RAM – 24 Cores – 960 GB SSD with unknown processor due to virtualization layer (identified as QEMU Virtual CPU version 1.0), performing 9,733 CMIPS, taking only 102.743 seconds
- Other Digital Ocean medium instances
- Linode, the smallest one with an Intel Xeon E5-2670 at 2.6 Ghz, 1,427 CMIPS and 700.34 seconds to complete tests
- Linode, 2x priority with same CPU and 2,556 CMIPS, 391.18 seconds
- A new Intel Desktop CPU, Core i7-4770S, performing an astonishing 5,842 CMIPS, 171.56 seconds to complete the tests (is my work’s computer)
More CMIPS means more performance, and time is the number of seconds needed to do the tests, so less is better.
