Ø SYSmark* 2007 Preview is BAPCo's latest version of the mainstream office productivity and internet content creation benchmark tool used to characterize the performance of the business client. SYSmark 2007 Preview contains a variety of workloads that represent a range of activities that a business worker may encounter. It is comprised of 4 modules: E-Learning, Video Creation, Office Productivity and 3D modeling.

Þ SPECint*_rate_base2006 and SPECfp*_rate_base2006 are capacity-based metrics used to measure throughput of a computer that is performing a number of tasks. This is achieved by running multiple copies of each benchmark simultaneously with the number of copies set to set to the number of logical hardware cores seen by the operating system. SPEC* CPU2006 provides a comparative measure of compute intensive performance across the widest practical range of hardware. The product consists of source code benchmarks that are developed from real user applications. These benchmarks depend on the processor, memory and compiler on the tested system. SPEC, SPECint, SPECfp, SPECrate are trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. For more information go to: www.spec.org/spec/trademarks.html.

Ω Autodesk 3ds Max* 9 is a scalable 3D modeling, animation, and rendering solution for film, television and games. Based on Autodesk 3ds Max 9.0, this _Rig.max scene rendered at 1920x1080. One frame is rendered. The render options set are Atmospherics, Effects and Displacement. The advanced lighting options are also set.

Σ Adobe After Effects* CS3 is a comprehensive set of tools to efficiently produce motion graphics and visual effects for film, video, multimedia, and the web. Based on Adobe After Effects* 7, this test applies filters and effects to a variety of input file types including Adobe Photoshop* PSD, Adobe Illustrator* AI and EPS, TIF, and Apple* QuickTime* MOV files. Filters and effects include: blur, bulge, color key, frame blending, glow, motion blurring, fading, 2D and 3D manipulation, shadows, echo, median, radial blur, and invert. After each filter is applied, the composition is rendered to an uncompressed AVI movie file of the same resolution as the input files.

Δ Microsoft Office Excel* 2007 is a spreadsheet application that features calculation and graphing tools. This enables business users to analyze and share information in order to make more informed decisions. In this scenario Excel 2007 performs a Monte Carlo simulation using the Black-Scholes* model to calculate a theoretical call and put price using the five key determinants of an option's price: stock price, strike price, volatility, time to expiration, and short-term (risk free) interest rate. This simulation performs 300,000 iterations.

Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit www.intel.com/performance/resources/benchmark_limitations.htm.

Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
