How to Benchmark a CPU

To benchmark a CPU, we recommend CPU Right Mark.

The CPU RightMark suite is designed to create objective measurements of the performance of modern and future processors in different computational tasks such as numerical modeling of physical processes and solving of 3D graphic problems.

CPU RightMark focuses on testing loaded FPU/SIMD units and CPU/RAM in tandem. As a result, CPU RightMark is able to measure pure CPU performance, an objective parameter obtained without the influence of other subsystems, like video and disk systems, with the exception of the critical memory subsystem.

CPU RightMark enables you to compare the true performance of different processors irrespective of a type of other system components. This data is obtained by dealing only with the CPU and measuring the CPU time spent for execution of computational tasks.

Currently supported CPU Instructions sets are:

  • Solver module
    • FPU
    • SSE2
    • SSE3
  • Renderer module
    • FPU/MMX
    • FPU/Extended MMX
    • Extended 3DNow!/Extended MMX
    • SSE/Extended MMX
    • SSE3/Extended MMX
