Sandra is
designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual
components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not
represent real world performance.

SiSoft Sandra numbers from the dual core Canada
Computers Content Creator X2 system is very impressive indeed. The processor
numbers are double what we usually see from the Athlon64 4000+ which is already
a very powerful processor. Memory bandwidth is a bit lower than we expected
however, most regular Athlon64/NF4 setups are around 6000MB/s. The HDD File
system benchmark is also quite impressive, a 10,000 RPM WD Raptor scores around
55-60MB, here the two WD 250GB Serial ATA II HDDs get around 90MB/s!
PCMark04
is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC
performance. It uses portions of real applications instead of including very
large applications or using specifically created code. This allows PCMark04 to
be a smaller installation as well as to report very accurate results.

PCMark04 does not care whether WindowsXP 32-bit or
WindowsXP Professional x64 Edition is used as the scores are within the margin
of error on both platforms. Still, the numbers are pretty good and the CPU score
is about 50% higher than we'd see on a regular Athlon64 4000+ processor. Memory
bandwidth is still on the low side however.
PCMark05
is a premium tool for measuring both normal home use and simple 3D performance
of the latest PC hardware. There are 11 system tests - each one is designed to
represent a certain type of PC usage. By running these tests, PCMark05 stresses
the components in a similar manner as they are stressed in normal home usage.

PCMark05
numbers are pretty good especially when compared to systems on FutureMark's Online Result Browser. It seems however
the benchmark has a problem running in a 64 bit environment, something I'm sure
FutureMark is aware of.
