<A HREF="http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm" target="_new">Download WinRAR from here</A>. <A HREF="http://www.rarlab.com/rarnew.htm" target="_new">And here's changelog.</A>
The reason why I'm posting about this WinRAR release is it's new benchmarking module. Currently WinRAR benchmarks published in many hardware websites are made with hand picked data. Benchmark results may vary depending on data selection. For example, THG use only a wav file for WinRAR benchmark, unlike other websites.
This new benchmark module should set a standard for WinRAR benchmarking. It generates result in kb/s. After processing 10 MB data it gives an average speed. This can be considered benchmark result.
<b><A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/spitfire_x86/thgc/rarbench.html" target="_new">Here's THGC WinRAR benchmark chart</A></b>. Currently <b>gothitbycar</b> is leading the chart with <b>503 kb/s</b> (Athlon64 3200+)
Now everybody post your scores. Please report your system spec (cpu, mobo/chipset, ram, memory timing, cpu fsb./multiplier if overclocked) with score.
I got <b>266 kb/s</b> with my system. Here's my system spec.- AXP 1700+ oc'ed to 1800+ (11 x 138), nForce2 Ultra400, 2 x 256 MB Dual DDR (2.0-2-2-5), Maxtor D740X (40 GB, 7200 rpm, 2 MB)
