CPU-based benchmarks
| HEXUS.PiFast - calculation to 10m places | |
|---|---|
| MESH MATRIX II 550BE | ARBICO OC 2695 XL |
| 35.13 | 28.15 |
The pure grunt of a 3.4GHz Core 2 Quad means that it wins the single-threaded test rather easily.
| 7-zip compression of 205MB files | |
|---|---|
| MESH MATRIX II 550BE | ARBICO OC 2695 XL |
| 48 | 49 |
But the dual-threaded 7-zip - where we compress 58 files into one archive - runs at about the same speed. A faster hard drive helps here.
| CINEBENCH R10 64-bit - multi-CPU render | |
|---|---|
| MESH MATRIX II 550BE | ARBICO OC 2695 XL |
| 6847 | 14982 |
Should you have an application that can load up all the chips' execution cores, and they're few and far between for consumers, then the ARBICO's 3.4GHz quad-core chip is over twice as fast.
| PCMark Vantage (systems) | |
|---|---|
| MESH MATRIX II 550BE | ARBICO OC 2695 XL |
| 4556 | 6526 |
PCMark Vantage takes a number of system-wide parameters into account. The faster CPU in the ARBICO pushes its score some 43 per cent higher than the MESH's.
