Notebook Benchmarks: Sandra 2013 CPU / Memory / SSD

SiSoft Sandra 2013/2012 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. Higher numbers represent better performance.

The 1.7GHz, dual-core (quad-thread) Intel Core i5-3317U processor inside the Samsung NP540U3C-A01 ultrabook manages some interesting results... which may be more due to a Sandra 2012 vs Sandra 2013 update than anything else.

Ditto for the Sandra memory results, it would appear the two versions of Sandra are not comparable.... unfortunately we cannot retest the 9-series NP900X4C in Sandra 2013.

The 128GB mSATA SSD housed inside the slim NP540U3C-A01 ultrabook chassis is a little slower than the 256GB SSD used in Samsung's higher end Ultrabook model.

Let's take a closer look at the mSATA SSD performance next with PCMark Vantage HDD test suite.
