Synthetic CPU and Memory Tests

SiSoft Sandra 2010

SiSoftware Sandra 2010 includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks. Those users running Windows 7 and Windows Vista will notice improved graphics and GPGPU support, including DirectX 11 Compute Shader/DirectCompute, OpenCL (GPU and CPU), as well as OpenGL graphics.

The higher-powered 9300 chipset was the overall winner in every category, but those figures were mainly due to the 9300-ITX's E7400 processor and 9300 chipset.
