PCMark Vantage is the latest benchmarking suite from Futuremark. Differing significantly from their 3DMark suites, PCMark performs a series of benchmarks designed to recreate and benchmark scenarios of a PC being used for everyday tasks. Vantage has a Vista only requirement as it actually relies on several different components from the OS in order to run correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As usual, the 920 beats the 965, and the 965 beats the 955. Apart from in the memory benchmarks, where the 965 shines due to the mature intergrated memory controller rather than Intel’s new solution. The 920 delivers the higher scores due to the hyperthreading support but the 965 does give a nice boost over the 955 due to the higher clock of 3.2GHz
