pystone is a simple Python benchmark which is included in a standard library.
As any other benchmark you need to be careful with its’ results. It was
interestings how fast are my environments. All tests were done using python3 -m test.pystone command.
- Intel Core i5 4590 @ 3.30GHz:
Pystone(1.2) time for 50000 passes = 0.19486
This machine benchmarks at 256594 pystones/second
- Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz:
Pystone(1.2) time for 50000 passes = 0.315069
This machine benchmarks at 158695 pystones/second
- Intel Core i5 7567U @ 3.50GHz (MacBook Pro (13-inch, early 2013)):
Pystone(1.2) time for 50000 passes = 0.5011208
This machine benchmarks at 97807 pystones/second
- Intel Core i5 3230M @ 2.60GHz (MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017)) :
Pystone(1.2) time for 50000 passes = 0.312304
This machine benchmarks at 160100 pystones/second
Looks like my old desktop is still good for python development.
