IV. Objective Benchmarking

Stock Settings
For benchmarking, I will run the system on stock settings. While this system has option to tweak the FSB, I will not be overclocking this system since this is not the targetted use of such system.

All benchmark results will be acquired from three(3) runs, removing the highest and lowest score, but not averaging the total score of the three. This limit the number of random peaks of scores, and hopes to reduce the number of random unusual results. There will be no online submission of score because of time constraint and software limitation.

Temperature at idle hovers at 68C, while shoots to as high as 78c. This is relatively cold as this processor is designed to run to at high temperature.

The stock results is decent, and just about what you would expect from such system. PCMark02 shows great memory performance, while CPU is above average and a little low on the Hard Disk score. PCMark04 and PCMark05 shows this processor isn't for heavy multi-taskers but is an able system to do the job. Gaming scores on 3DMark01 to 3DMark05 all shows consistent low to acceptable score, with 3DMark01 offering performance similar to an NVDIA* FX5200, and reflects a huge portion of CPU muscle on the result, the other incarnation of 3DMark such as the 3DMark03 and 3DMark05 all relies heavily on the GPU, as such, the results should be used as a reference point only.
