that incremental performance increases often result in exponential price increases. In reality, we expect a 50% performance increase to bring with it a 150% price increase. A 46% performance gain means Dell's XPS 720 H2C Edition PC has to be incredibly expensive...

without too much difficulty. PCMark05 provides metrics for overall PC performance, supplemented by individual results for the CPU, memory, graphics and hard disk performance. All in all, PCMark05 provides a decent set of data for the notebooks we test, and...

reduces PC performance. If you remember the Quake III results of our comprehensive AMD Turion 64 tests, you can see that this reduction in performance is not primarily due to a slow CPU. In these tests, the Turion 64 system was admittedly inferior to a comparable...

values that PC Mark 2005 reports confirm our previous measurements. When all systems run using external power sources, performance differences are pretty marginal. That said, memory performance in the TX series is relatively modest, an outcome of Sony's decision...

color saturation. Also, HD clips played on the computer were superb, with excellent detail, color saturation, and relative contrast. PC performance is one area where LCD performance is significantly better than plasma displays, as I have found that most plasmas...

artifacts) User interface responsiveness- Crisp and smooth no noticeable reduction in UI responsiveness throughout the test Time to encode file: 30 minutes. (2 minutes of SD WMV video produced for every minute spent encoding) PC Performance Test #1 Results...

Intel also seeks to assess media PC performance with workloads that exceed those that are typical, based on our own experience and on talking to lots of other media PC aficionados. Maybe we're suffering from a lack of vision, or we haven't yet really caught...
