ScienceMark 2.0, HEXUS Crypto, HEXUS Pifast
ScienceMark 2.0 - Memory Bandwidth
Our first ScienceMark 2.0 test, where we measure memory bandwidth, gives us a result you'll see throughout the benchmark results. The SB95P v2.0, assembled against our identical i925XE-based system, shows generic across-the-board performance that's often within 1% of the HEXUS system.
ScienceMark 2.0 - Memory Access Latency
We make ScienceMark 2.0 access system memory to determine how long such an access takes. The measured access latency is then reported.
You can't split the two systems.
ScienceMark 2.0 - Primordia
ScienceMark 2.0's Primordia test is a CPU-bound test that lets us see if the host core logic is allowing the CPU to run to its full potential.
We see the same here, which while boring to analyse, shows us that Shuttle know how to build a competitive mini i925XE mainboard.
HEXUS Crypto
My crypto test stresses the FPU of a CPU and so provides a metric to measure comparative CPU performance, outside of any influence by (almost) any other part of the system.
There's barely any difference between the two.
HEXUS Pifast
Our old, but still very reliable, Pifast test is a fine measure of how a PC uses its memory controller and the CPU's FPU in tandem, to create performance. There's nothing between the pair.
