System-Benchmark

The new "System Benchmark“ module checks the processor and measures the system memory’s performance. The results are subsequently compared to the values of various reference systems to let you rate your system’s performance.

What is the result comprised of?

The benchmark is comprised of: Integer performance, FPU performance and RAM performance.

Integer-Performance (Dhrystones)

The Dhrystone test informs you about your system’s CPU performance, measured with integer operations, which are required for basic tasks of the OS and working with compilers, text, logic simulations and databases. The final numerical value reflects the processor’s access speed and constitutes a third of the benchmark’s total value.

FPU-Performance (Whetstones)

The FPU (Floating Point Unit) performance represents the computing power when handling floating point operations and can drastically improve the processing speed for mathematical and graphical operations. The final numerical value constitutes a third of the benchmark’s total value.

RAM-Performance (RAMperf)

This part of the benchmark determines, how often the system memory can write and read test blocks within a given timeframe. The more repetitions, the better your RAM performance. The final numerical value constitutes a third of the benchmark’s total value.
