SiSoftware Sandra 2012 Sp1 Memory Bandwidth Benchmark

Sisoftware Sandra 2011 SP5

The Sisoft Sandra 2011 SP5 benchmark utility just came out a few weeks ago and we have started to include it in our benchmarking. Sandra 2011 comes with support for Virtualisation (Virtual PC/Server, Hyper-V, VMware) and GPGPU (OpenCL, DirectX 11 DirectCompute), but today we will be using the program to look at memory and CPU performance!

BIOSTAR TPower X79 Intel X79 Sandra 2012 SP1 Memory Benchmark Scores

Benchmark Results: The BIOSTAR TPower X79 was slightly below what we have seen on some of our other Intel X79 systems. The two tests were both around .6-.7GB/s behind the top board, all in all though that's only ~1% of the bandwidth. Likely not a performance margin that would be noticed in day to day usage.
