Preliminary Testing with SiSoft SANDRA 2011

Synthetic Benchmarks

We continued our testing with SiSoftware's SANDRA 2011, the System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. We ran four of the built-in subsystem tests (CPU Arithmetic, Memory Bandwidth, Physical Disks).

Memory bandwidth and CPU performance were as-expected here. Definitely lagging behind Intel's Core 2 Duo and Core i CPU lines, but we didn't expect a $499 machine to blow the doors off of the competition from a numbers standpoint.

3DMark06

The Futuremark 3DMark06 CPU benchmark consists of tests that use the CPU to render 3D scenes, rather than the GPU. It runs several threads simultaneously and is designed to utilize multiple processor cores.

While AMD's E-350 APU / Radeon 6310 graphics package sips power and does well given the price, it's not up to snuff with discrete GPUs, even on the low-end. The 3D performance here is pretty underwhelming, but it does say something about the state of technology when you realize it still managed to compete in these tests and best Intel's integrated graphics solution in the Core i5. Minor victories, you know?

Futuremark 3DMark Vantage

Simluated Gaming Performance

It's worth noting here that we haven't built up a significant library of all-in-one machines in the 3DMark Vantage test, but we figured this machine was a good place to start. The full scores can be expanded by clicking each below, and we'll be using this as a starting point moving forward as we review similar machines in the same category.
