6 - Synthetic testing
ZLib CPU test
This integer benchmark measures combined CPU and memory subsystem performance through the public ZLib compression library Version 1.2.2
CPU ZLib test uses only the basic x86 instructions, and it is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware. Again a very good test to measure multi-core performance.
Memory test
Everest has an excellent tool to measure memory bandwidth, surprisingly the X3 is on top.
Multi-threaded Video Transcoding VC-1 to WMV9
Here we simulate Video Transcoding: DV to portable device, using two simultaneous threads. Very good performance when you look at the competition.
