What do I score in pifast… it's going to be pretty slow I'm afraid, I only managed to get to
3.141592653 in around a second and then I ground to a halt….I've clearly slowed over time because I used to be able to go to about 15 decimal places in the same time.
Sadly I'm a few generations old now and I just had my meltdown patch to protect me from a midlife crisis :P
Oh.. you mean my pc, doesn't really matter it will be the same as any other stock i7 4790k in all likelihood.

making it a very reliable indicator of a PC's raw speed.
That really needs justification. I mean, what is it testing? I have even seen rumour that it is using 8087 FPU commands, which no sane programmer would use and are basically emulated on a modern CPU so that would be a test of how good your PC is at emulating legacy fpu code. On top of that it is a workload that no-one does on a daily basis.
Really, I switch off when I see this benchmark to the point of sometimes giving up on an article it is in. Please replace it with something good. Even Quake would be a more useful benchmark than this.

Pretty chuffed with that! i5 4670K @ 4GHz, bought off ebay 3-and-a-half years ago for £116. :mrgreen:
It seems my very own overclocked I7-7700k beats the 8700k that hexus used haha!!! 13.59!!

HEXUS - Do I get a prize for beating you on an older CPU? :)
after a few more runs the best I have seen it do is 13.50
No idea. Can get 25M digits in about 1.5 seconds on y-cruncher though. Don't really see the point of antiquated, unoptimised and totally irrelevant synthetic benchmarks myself.

So 2.5 times the digits in a magnitude less time?
Guessing you aren't on a refrigerated 28 core CPU there either :D
Just a plain old 7700 at stock.
Yeah! Because Pifast MATTERS!
17.4s on a stock 4690k, which is .4s longer than

it was first 15.05 but then i closed down the browser, quit all the stuff on my 6 years ago installed windows7 on my many years old 3770K and got 14.95
So from today im calling my PC blazing fast!
I overclocked the CPU and memory about 5 years ago i even don't remember my settings around 4.7 GHz it could be (i'm getting old i know )

Right. 16.5s in PiFast to get 10m digits or 4 seconds in y-cruncher (single threaded) to get 16m.
The reason all these old Haswell/Ivy CPUs compete in PiFast is because it's ancient and doesn't use any modern extensions.

I've said it before, but it's not having legacy benchmarks (or comparing performance across CPU generations on such apps, as a matter of interest) I have an issue with, as an example Anandtech do them but clearly put them under the section of ‘legacy tests’. I
do have issue with misleading claims like implying that this single, questionable benchmark has significant relevance when it comes to ‘raw speed’ (whatever that means), putting it up front on modern CPU benchmarks and drawing dubious conclusions from its results.
If you want to know how fast these “apps and games still dragging their feet in terms of multi-core utilisation” perform - benchmark those instead! People might be interested in how Quake runs, but performance of PiFast doesn't tell us that. I doubt many are particularly concerned, when it comes to purchasing hardware, with how fast one pi-calculating application works when there are applications such as y-cruncher which will output the same result with orders of magnitude better performance on identical hardware. And neither can you use this benchmark to infer y-cruncher performance as their performance is very dissimilar, and it even includes a CPU dispatcher and different, tuned binaries for different microarchitectures and different ISA availability.
As we've seen multiple times in the past, extrapolating from benchmarks to predict either future performance or performance of other applications has major caveats and sometimes completely wrong. Plenty of review sites were criticised for running very low-res game benchmarks, deliberately causing the game performance to be CPU-limited, as a way of showing ‘how good the CPU is at game code’, which of course turned out to be wrong as game code obviously continued to evolve to take advantage of hardware.

I thought I'd do this as I've done some maths on the worth of a GTX 1080Ti or 1080 and in terms of improvement over my current card they're very nearly the same (in terms of percent improvement over current card per pound) but I wanted to ensure my current CPU set up (which is liquid cooled and I can't be arsed changing) wouldn't be a bottleneck. I have an i5-4690 at stock speeds (liquid cooling is there for future overclocking as it's not currently an issue but in future it may be and the enhanced cooling will improve lifespan……. okay so it looked cool, I had the money and so I did it, okay???) which scored 17.71 seconds. I thought this was a glitch but it's reproducible and others with similar CPUs seem to be getting the same. I'm going to post a thread in the forums for opinions on an upgrade, I'd be glad to hear opinions.
All right, there have been enough interesting threads and I could have enough fun with this one that I decided to register. And rather than run it on my main Sandy Bridge system, I thought why not run it on something that hasn't been done yet, like my Core 2 Extreme?
Running it on my Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop from 2007, with a Core 2 Extreme X7900 (65nm, Merom), and DDR2 667 MHz on Windows XP. Taking the best of two runs at a speed.
2.8 GHz @ 1.1625V (my usual top speed): 35.23 seconds
3 GHz @ 1.25V: 33.3 seconds
3.2 GHz @ 1.25V: 31.5 seconds
Couldn't get it to run more than a second or so at 3.4 GHz, even at the max voltage of 1.275V. But I'm pretty pleased to get less than double what some of the Devil's Canyon and Skylake samples are scoring on a 10-year-old mobile chip.
The fun part was that since this was single-threaded, I could push it farther than multithreaded workloads. For multi-core benchmarks, 3 GHz is just not possible, and at 3.2 GHz with a multithreaded workload it'd fold like a paper crane. But keep it single-threaded, and it can push out those few hundred extra megahertz.
27 seconds… Ryzen 2500u. Not bad for a 2ghz mobile chip, looks like AMD's second generation Ryzen is finally giving Intel the kicking it has needed for a while!

I do have issue with misleading claims like implying that this single, questionable benchmark has significant relevance when it comes to ‘raw speed’ (whatever that means), putting it up front on modern CPU benchmarks and drawing dubious conclusions from its results.
The only thing to take away from the pi fast benchmark, is how quick a cpu is at running pi fast. Literally, that is it. I don't see any correlation from running pi fast, to running any other particular game or software. If I want to know how well a cpu performs running something, I'll search out specific benchmarks similar to the conditions I'll be running with (cpu / gpu and other hardware).
Is pi fast a good indicator of single threaded cpu performance? As a legacy test, perhaps. I have no idea what extensions it uses, so it may well be biased towards one particular set of cpus, which looking at this thread it most definitely is. I wouldn't think my 7 year old Intel i7-2600k is better than the AMD R7 1800X, not even remotely.
I have no idea - 3.14159 is more than accurate enough for my every day requirement, I don’t need to calculate it to any higher degree of precision.
