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:
- 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 i7 7567U @ 3.50GHz:
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.
