3DMark06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game
performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC
industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D
game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics
tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0
graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple
cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests t
reliably measure next generation gaming performance today.

These scores come as no surprise considering that the
older Samsung R480 notebook is equipped with a Geforce GT 330M videocard that has 48 shader cores, while the new
Samsung NP900X4C-A02 Ultrabook uses a bog-standard integrated graphics core ( Intel HD 4000 IGP ). The
'R480 is understandably going to be faster in FPS oriented games, and is. The
Samsung 9-series is perfectly fine for desktop work and will output video to a
second monitor or HDMI display, just don't expect really any gaming performance
from it.
Next, 3DMark Vantage results.

3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test
the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card. We’ve been making 3DMark for
over 10 years, with each new edition using the latest 3D technology to determine
real-world performance.

Similar results in 3DMark Vantage -- although the Intel
HD 4000 stacks up better in this benchmark to the 'R480's Geforce GT 330M
graphics card, the Samsung NP900X4C-A02 weighs in with an anemic GPU score of
2879.
3DMark 11 failed to complete its test run on the
900X4C-A02' Intel HD 4000 IGP. Next we have Sandra CPU + Memory benchmarks.
