SiSoft are releasing SP2a for Sandra 2011, version 17.55.

-- SP2a updates --

  • CPU Update: Sandy Bridge-EP/EN/EX, Ivy Bridge preliminary support.
  • Fix: translations updated.
  • Update: branding (devices/systems)

-- SP2 updates --


  • Mobile Broadband (WWAN) Benchmark: Now you can benchmark your mobile broadband connection just like with WiFi (WLAN).
  • Change: System model name/Mainboard name instead of hostname sent to the Ranker

-- SP1x updates --

  • Fix: Incorrect CPU frequency for Power Management Efficiency (ALU/FPU) benchmark causing Ranker to fail.
  • Update: GPGPU/GPCPU Crypt benchmark performance improvements.
  • Change: Simplified installer, use "Options" in Sandra to enable/configure features.

-- SP1 updates --

  • Fix: Incorrect CPU frequency displayed on Sandy Bridge in Turbo Mode; benchmark scores are not affected. The displayed speed was updated twice.
  • Fix: Incorrect CPU frequency displayed on Phenom II/Fusion in Turbo Mode*; IMC and Memory speed were also affected: benchmark scores are not affected. The displayed speed was not updated at all.*
  •  Improvement: Multi-threaded Memory Bandwidth on Fusion*; score has doubled (~3.3GB/s) though short of what AMD "suggests". No better solution has been found yet.
  • Update: Large memory pages support re-added to the Memory Bandwidth, Cache & Memory Bandwidth and Multi-Core Efficiency benchmarks: please use Options to disable "Use Large Memory Pages" to use native memory pages.
  •  Update: GUI reference list colour-matched to the graphs which finally allows you to identify which result corresponds to which value in the graph.
  • External Fix: GPGPU Crypto benchmarks work with the latest 266.xx nVidia drivers even in older Sandra versions.
  • Fix: Minor various fixes for Windows 7/2008 R2 SP1 RTM. Again SP1 is *required* for AVX support, and no still no idea whether Vista or XP will also be updated.
