[Wylug-discuss] Raspberry Pi 3 vs Raspberry Pi 2 benchmarks

[Rob Speed]

I've just run a quick test on a Pi3 and a Pi2 we're using for development testing.


(outfile1.ts is a 64MB transport stream (already compressed data))

Pi 2 (clocked at stock 900Mhz):

root at raspberrypi:/run/shm# time bzip2 -9 outfile1.ts

real    0m51.804s
user    0m51.590s
sys    0m0.200s
root at raspberrypi:/run/shm#
root at raspberrypi:/run/shm# time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null bs=16M count=5
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
83886080 bytes (84 MB) copied, 39.9187 s, 2.1 MB/s

real    0m39.934s
user    0m0.000s
sys    0m39.890s
root at raspberrypi:/run/shm#



---------------------------------------------

Pi 3 (clocked at stock 1200Mhz):

root at raspberrypi:/run/shm# time bzip2 -9 outfile1.ts

real    0m32.676s
user    0m32.520s
sys    0m0.140s
root at raspberrypi:/run/shm#
root at raspberrypi:/run/shm# time dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null bs=16M count=5
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
83886080 bytes (84 MB) copied, 17.0178 s, 4.9 MB/s

real    0m17.028s
user    0m0.010s
sys    0m17.010s
root at raspberrypi:/run/shm#


So perhaps an increase of 50% is fairly realistic.
