Photography As stated we are a hardware site with an audience that has primarily gamers, therefore we will review CPU's in a somewhat different way then other sites tend to do, mostly with gamers benchmarks. Not because we like them so much, no because I know you want to see that. We could test how fast your spreadsheet's macro function is updated or if that mp3 was encoded 2 seconds faster but I know for a fact you don't care very much about that so why bother. We'll go in-depth the gamers way. SiSoft Sandra was used to measure CPU and Memory Bandwidth, while MadOnion's PC MArk 2002 was also used to measure memory bandwidth and CPU performance. MadOnion's 3DMark 2001 SE Pro, CodeCreatures and a several OpenGL and Direct3D games like Aquamark, Unreal Tournament 2003 and return to Castle Wolfenstein were used to measure real-world multimedia performance.
