Here is my last overcloking job, just an attempt of getting the performance limit on every PC class, from the XT era to the 486 era.
Not trying to beat a world record or anything, just trying to see how far these machines can go for the thrill of it. Those are the 4 machines:
- XT Class. NEC v20 @ 15.2 mhz:
Performance achieved: Slightly better than a 80286 @ 8mhz.
- 80286 class. Harris 80286 @ 27.5 mhz:
Performance achieved: Comparable to the 80386sx @ 33mhz.
- 80386 class. Am386 @ 50 mhz:
Performance achieved: Comparable to the 80486dx @ 33mhz.
- 80486 class. Am5x86 @ 166 mhz:
Performance achieved: Comparable to the Am5k86 @ 100mhz
In all cases the benchmarking software is the same:
- Landmark system speed test 6.0
- Trixter's Topbench 0.38a
- Superscape 3d Bench 1.0
If anyone has any doubt about the systems or wants to see some software running in any of them just ask and I will gladly try it and do captures and/or videos.
