Sandra CPU Performance Rating

errr i hope not!

Sandra uses its own rating system for calculating CPU/HDD/RAM performance, and has LITTLE relivence to real programs games or applications.
It is sorta useful for comparing like systems, p4 to p4 for example or overclocked states though.

mmhmmm. It would be nice in an ideal world wouldnt it?

But i dont like sandra, as its memory and hard drive benchmarks are of little practical value. The mem benchamrks basically show theoretical max mem bandwidth, and the HDD benchies are strongly effected by drive partitioning and fragmentation.

I think amd's numbering system isnt too bad, and is a good enough way to tell the techie-noob that mhz isnt everything.
