Testing with SiSoft SANDRA 2010 SP3

Synthetic Benchmarks

We continued our testing with SiSoftware's SANDRA 2010, the System ANalyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. We ran four of the built-in subsystem tests (CPU Arithmetic, Multimedia Memory Bandwidth, Physical Disks). All of the scores reported below were taken with the processor running at its default speed along with 4GB of DDR3 RAM running in dual/triple-channel mode.

The performance difference between the G73 and the Y560D in multimedia benchmarking is mostly likely caused by Turbo Mode--the results are close enough to be comparable if our Y560D's Core i7 was pushing a bit higher than the other system. Other than that, all our results are precisely what we'd expect.
