EVEREST Ultimate Edition 3.50.799

EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiast PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems. Furthermore, complete software, operating system and security information makes EVEREST Ultimate Edition a comprehensive system diagnostics tool that offers a total of 100 pages of information about your PC.

- CPU and FPU benchmarks
State of the art multi-threaded benchmark methods to measure performance of both old and brand new processors. References list to compare actual performance with other systems.

- Memory benchmarking
Memory read and write speed, memory latency measurement to stress the memory and cache subsystem, including references list to compare actual performance with other systems.

Except for the Super Talent T667SB1G/S lead in Photoworxx, they are nearly identical ties. Except, of course, our other set of Hyundai RAM has a very small lead in other tests.

In terms of memory bandwidth, there's no real gain here -- the performance across all three of our EVEREST memory benchmarks reveals that the Core 2 Duo won't make any real difference in this area since the RAM to FSB ratio is 2:1.

In terms of latency, this one is quite obvious. Two of Super Talent's T667SB1G/S 1GB sticks running at 5-5-5-13 is quite obvious that latency will be higher than our reference Hyundai set at 4-4-4-12.

In the EVEREST FPU tests, it's very obvious that PC2-5300 RAM makes a very significant difference over PC2-4200. Extra bandwidth really will make a significant performance difference when it comes to floating point unit benchmarks.

ScienceMark 2.0 Memory

Science Mark 2.0 is an attempt to put the truth behind benchmarking. In an attempt to model real world demands and performance, SM2 is a suite of high-performance benchmarks that realistically stress system performance without architectural bias.

I don't know why, but ScienceMark 2.0's 256 byte stride subtest in the memory benchmark really hates our reference Hyundai memory set. However, in general, Super Talent's T667SB1G/S has higher latency in relative. This is not out of the odd, however.

SuperPI - 1 Million Digits

A calculation to 1 million digits of Pi. The end result is 23 seconds for both, which is a tie.
