Intel's Core i7 5960X Is Fast & Wonderful Under Linux

[Luke_Wolf]

Yes, all package handling is abstracted out in order to support the many different Linux/BSD/Solaris/OSX package management systems. A listing of currently-handled packages can be found in your PTS installation directory (phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/external-test-dependencies/ or /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/external-test-dependencies/xml/ usually) for a list of the "generic names" for package management.

Is it working besides that?

With some modifications it appears to be working now, with 2 caveats
1). you need to install a lot of the dependencies yourself, due to lack of support
2). I needed to manually download and copy the source archive into the test folder

it's going to take quite some time for the compiling to finish so I'll get back to you on that when it's done.

Does the downloads work if you rename it to downloads.xml (no capital D)?

okay well fixing that it now tries to download but it throws an error despite the fact that I can click that link and it'll download the file through a browser.

Are you behind a firewall? Only other thing I can think of is replace HTTPS with HTTP to see if that's causing it, since most PTS downloads are using either HTTP/FTP I'm not sure if there's any HTTPS detection issues.

According to Michaels tests, Intel 5970X (900€ in Europe) is double as fast vs AMD 8370 (180€ in Europe) - timed Linux kernel compile and C-Ray.

AMD results could definitely be improved via finetuning of governor, but I guess no more than several percent.

it is not 5970 but 5960 ...and you should compare with an equivalent cpu from amd :
AMD Opteron™ 6300 Series Processors 6386 SE 16cores 2.8GHz 3.5GHz 16MB 140W G34
prices are the same , amd made it in 2012...

edit : is the lovely blond your sister ?

Still playing around with it.

Looks like apt-get build-dep firefox wasn't enough... Test might be running now after grabbing some more dependencies.

Yeah I saw that after it failed with just the build-deps... It's running now and almost through its third run; results up soon.

Thanks for the test! Just made a few minor tweaks to your test profile (including just letting users know about potential missing dependencies until those other ones are covered)
