14. PCMark05 Benchmarks

Like SYSmark 2004 SE, PCMark05 is all about performance. PCMark05 includes test suites that focus on the CPU, memory, graphics and hard disk drives of a computer. An overall System Benchmark score is computed from these four tests. If any part of a test suite cannot run or fails, a PCMark05 overall score is not computed for that suite and the overall score is not computed. This happens most often with the graphics tests when a graphics controller is unable to perform specific parts of a test. As with SYSmark 2004 SE, the computer is plugged into an AC socket and its CPU is set to run at top speed.

PCMark scores are scaled to run between 1200 and 5500. Low and high end reference systems are used to scale and compute the low (1200) and high (5500) scores. However, scores less than 1200 and greater than 5500 are possible

Here are the charts showing PCMark05 scores for the Dell Latitude X1 and the five comparable laptops. Our conclusions follow the charts.
