I found this query produced the same result.  It is a list slower than the first with my small
dataset.  but maybe it will improve for larger datasets?

select       t1.id_i,       t1.ir_id,       t1.test,       t1.stamp,       t1.inttest 
from   test as t1 
where t1.stamp = ( select max(T2.stamp) from test as t2 where t2.id_i = t1.id_i) 
and t1.test = 'f';
