Benchmarks: SiSoft Sandra 2004, Super Pi

SiSoft Sandra 2004 Source: Sandra

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

It shouldn't be a surprise that the CPU portions of Sandra stay about the same... but those memory bandwidth scores are very nice indeed! Breaking 7k/7k in the memory benchmark should be possible...

Super Pi Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.

Lower numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better performance.

Super Pi is very bandwidth dependant as well, and this is why we're able to shave off two seconds from the stock time on the overclocked Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP-939 system.
