SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers as it’s lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching. A test of 8 million itterations was performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest times removed from the results and an average calculated from the remaining three.
Cinebench 10 is a benchmarking tool based on the powerful 3D software Cinema 4D. The suite uses complex renders to guage the performance of the entire PC system in both single-core and multi-core modes. Testing was performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being omitted and an average created from the remaining 3 results.
Results Observation
The PC has output some solid numbers though our first set of tests. Multi-threaded benchmarks really shining, showing what the I7 can do with a bit extra oomph behind it. The single threaded SuperPi showing some, while not jaw dropping, competent figures coming in at just under 11 seconds on a 1M test. The Cinebench results looking impressive also, with the multi core test standing out like a sore thumb once again.
