7 - Synthetic testing
CPU data encryption
The data encryption test runs: CNG AES CBC.
A data compression test measured in MB/sec. It runs only two simultaneous threads which will bring the results a bit closer together. The Phenoms love it.
Here we fire off two threads at the processor and observe how it deals with more every day tasks such as searching for contacts. Only two cores/threads can be used in this test. But enough synthetic testing let's move onwards to game performance.
