Comparing The Power/Performance Of A NetBurst Celeron & Pentium 4 To Broadwell's Core i7 5775C

I'm really excited to see how Skylake will fit onto these results. Once Skylake has been released, I plan to do add those results to this result file on Fedora 22 / Ubuntu 15.04 with a similar setup.

Throughout these CPU-focused tests, the old CPUs on the i875p system were consuming around 120 Watts on average while the Core i7 5775C averaged out to less than 50 Watts with a peak of 94 Watts.

If you didn't read my full Core i7 5775C Linux review, be sure to check it out for many more results from this Broadwell system. That result also has comparison data to the dozens of systems running as part of our daily Linux performance tracking initiative at LinuxBenchmarking.com. For new readers that didn't check it out from the first page, there is also the other NetBurst vintage tests from last month.

If you want to see how your own system performs compared to the performance results in this article, once installing the open-source Phoronix Test Suite software on your Linux system it's simply a matter of running phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1507225-BE-POWERBROA02 for installing and running the fully-automated and standardized performance tests.
