After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

SiSoft Sandra
Sandra is a software collection of synthetic benchmarks that will give
us a basic idea as to what a system is capable of. It should be noted
that SiSoft numbers change depending on what version you have
installed; these were recorded using Sandra Professional Version
2007.9.10.105
Cachemem
Cachemem is a synthetic benchmark used to test bandwidth and latency.
Synthetic Conclusion
Synthetic performance never really tells the entire story but is a good benchmark of what the system "could" do under the right conditions. This isn't an apples to apples comparison but does help to illustrate the differences between the various processor architectures.
