SYSMark has been a favorite benchmark to many reviewers for quite a while -- and while we are part of the BAPCo Press Network since 2006, we haven't had the chance to really use this benchmark to test something with real performance differences -- until, of course, we started reviewing CPUs. SYSMark 2007 is a real life application benchmark that actually reflects software performance in the real world, so in context this is not a synthetic benchmark.
In the E-Learning section, the E7200 yielded a performance advantage over the E6600 of 5.1%, 3.7% in Video Creation (Probably due to its lower L2 cache size), 7.6% in 3D Rendering, and 4.0% in the overall system rating. The only section that the E7200 lost to the E6600 is in the Office Productivity benchmark -- where the E6600 a minor lead of 1.7%.
