12. SYSmark 2004 SE Performance Benchmarks

The SYSmark 2004 SE benchmarks focus solely on performance. Battery life is irrelevant. The tests are designed to be run with the test computer on AC power and with the CPU running at maximum speed. Like MobileMark 2005, SYSmark 2004 SE uses real world applications for its benchmark tests.

The SYSmark 2004 SE tests are divided into two benchmarking scenarios: Internet content creation and office productivity. Within Internet content creation there are three test groups: 3D content, 2D content and Web publication. The office productivity scenario is also divided into three test groups: communication (email, calendar and Web browsing), document creation and data analysis.

As with the MobileMark 2005 overall performance score, all SYSmark 2004 SE scores are based on response time and are scaled against the performance of a modestly powered reference system which received a score of 100 on each of the SYSmark 2004 SE tests. MobileMark 2005 and SYSmark 2004 SE office productivity scores are not comparable.

Here are the SYSmark 2004 SE benchmark result charts for the Toshiba Libretto U100-S213 and the other three laptops included in this article. Conclusions follow the charts.
