Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Performance for GNU-Radio: Intel i3-6100 or AMD FX-4300

Note that the FX series (at least, some of them) use a shared FPU arrangement.

Having said that, I have an FX-8350 system that does fairly well with 6 receivers operating at 2.56Msps, doing correlation interferometry (computing 15 visibility functions in parallel for the 6 receivers).

Pentium 4 with HT would be a good idea, but it wasn't. On that CPU, the  
logical Intel cores only do integer operations; floating-point can only be  
done on real cores. It's probably the same on the modern chips, otherwise  
they'd just say 4 real cores. So even though I normally favor Intel PC's,  
if these 2 are your only choices then I would suggest the AMD.

Performance using GNU-Radio may be the key to the selection of one or
the other.

I guess the more cores the CPU, the better the performance.

FX-4300 is 4 cores,  i3-6100 is only two cores but they say both of them
runs 4 threads.

I should think that a real core (AMD) will work faster than a "logic"
one (intel), but reading benchmarks it seems that i3-6100 beats FX-4300
.....  but  what with GNU-Radio?

Anyone has test both?
