 Performance Comparisons with 3DMark06
 Details: http://www.futuremark.com/products/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.
 


The Intel P8600 Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz processor in the Studio XPS 16 performs within expectations when compared to the 2.1 GHz processors used in the Toshiba reference system, and somehow squeezes out a bit more performance when compared to the exact same CPU in the Studio XPS 13. Here's a look at the full 3DMark 06 score:
