9. Benchmarks Under Windows XP
In order to give you an extensive and balanced picture of the performance capabilities of the two processors (or platforms), we used a combination of the following synthetic and application benchmarks:
| Drivers and Software | |
|---|---|
| Graphics Driver | ATI 6.13.10.6025 (English) // Nvidia 6.13.10.3230 |
| DirectX | Version: 8.1 (4.08.01.0810) |
| OS | Windows XP Pro, Build 2600 SP1 (English) |
| Benchmarks and Settings | |
| SiSoftware Sandra 2003 | CPU MultiMedia / CPU Arithmetic / Memory Bandwidth Benchmark |
| PCMark 2002 | Pro Pack - Build 100
CPU and Memory Tests |
| POV-Ray for Windows | Version 3.5/ Chess2 640x480 AA:0.3 |
| Lame | Version 3.92
32 bit DOS-Prompt, 178 MB Wave File, 44100 Hz |
| 3D Mark 2001SE | Version 1.1 - Build 340 - Patch Build 330/ Default Benchmark |
| Quake III Arena | Patch V1.16
640x480 - 16 bit / 1024 x 768 - 32 bit / 1280 x 1024 - 32 bit Timedemo, demo001 command line = +set cd_nocd 1 +set s_initsound 0 Graphics detail = Normal |
| Sysmark 2002 | Version 1.0 |
The pure low-level CPU performance was measured with CPU-dependent benchmarks such as Sisoft Sandra 2003, PC Mark 2002, Raytracer POV-Ray and the MP3 encoder Lame. In order to see how the power-saving technology Improved Enhanced Speedstep affects performance, these benchmarks were also conducted with various settings in the power scheme of the operating system. Measurements taken with the notebooks plugged in are indicated in the diagrams with the abbreviation 'AC;' and 'DC' indicates that the notebooks ran on battery power. The power schemes used are found on the Y-axis.
