Test systems: System 1: 2007 noteoobk: Toshiba U205-S5067: Core 2 Duo T7200 , 4GB RAM, 320 GB HD System 2: 2011 notebook: Toshiba R830-10P: Core i7 2620M , 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD This benchmark result is not only affected by the processor. Almost all system components affects the result. The processor is only the main component. Results: Evaluating overall performance, for compiling Linux Kernel and generate its RPM packages for Fedora 15: Core i7 system is 2.85 times faster than Core 2 Duo system . Details I've run the steps described on: http://kdpeter.blogspot.com/2011/05/steps-to-test-kernel-build-on-fedora-15.html , for the kernel package kernel-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.src.rpm. The only difference to the procedure described above is that I added the command "time" in the building step, to be able to compare necessary time to do same task. $ time rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --without debuginfo --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec Individual results System 1: Core 2

thanks a lot for that hint.
This still works for a Fedora 17 with kernel 3.6.2.
Bye,
