BENCHMARK UPDATE CLARICE SIMMONS

| PCMARK 8 UPDATE | JAN-2014 | 2

No single benchmark today measures all aspects of modern processors…but some are better than others

A higher score on a benchmark does not necessarily ensure better real-world productivity if that benchmark did not measure how you will use that device

Benchmarks are most effective when used to establish a frame of reference vs. a fixed requirement

CHOOSE ONE THAT MEASURES REAL WORKLOADS

BENCHMARKS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS WHAT THEY MEASURE AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME

If a buyer makes a choice based on a benchmark and either the benchmark isn’t representative of a comparative user experience or if the benchmark has been manipulated, the buyer has been misled.”– Pat Moorhead, Techpinions

PCMARK 8 IS BECOMING THE NEW GLOBAL STANDARD FOR BENCHMARKING

PCMark 8 is the preferred performance benchmark for AMD for a number of reasons: ‒ Offers fair comparison of competitive systems

‒ Broadly adopted by technology reviewers

‒ Measures total performance based on typical workload scenarios

‒ Leverages industry standards such as Open CL

‒ Easy to use with one-click activation

‒ It’s affordable and the best value for evaluating commercial tenders

PCMark 8 is the latest version of PC benchmarking tools from Futuremark ‒ The industry standard PC benchmark test for Windows 8

and Windows 7.

‒ Combines performance testing with new battery life measurement tools.

‒ Ideal for testing the performance of SSDs and hybrid storage devices.

PCMark 8 goes beyond the CPU to measure total performance of modern processors including CPUs, GPUs and APUs

Developed in partnership with Acer, AMD, Condusiv Technologies, Dell, HGST, HP, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Samsung, SanDisk, Seagate and Western Digital

BASEMARK CL 1.1

Image Manipulation

Bandwidth limitations stemming from moving data from CPU to GPU using OpenCL

•Smoothing •Color Correction •Noise Reduction •Surface Aware Smoothing •Sharpening

Physics Simulation

Computing power that OpenCL brings

•3D Soft Body Simulation •Smoothed particle hydrodynamics •2D Fluid Simulation •Wave Simulation

General Bottlenecks in configurations

•3D Mandelbulb Ray Tracing •Julia Fractal Calculation •Online Compiler

SUMMARIZED

Developed by Rightware, Basemark CL is the most comprehensive OpenCL benchmark suite available.

With parallelism becoming the norm, it is critical to measure OpenCL in a heavy yet realistic way

Full support for OpenCL 1.1, OpenGL ES 2.0, and OpenGL 2.1. Support for Open CL 2.0 coming soon!

3DMARK USE 3DMARK FIRE STRIKE TO MEASURE DIRECTX® 11 CAPABILITIES

World’s most popular benchmark featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today

Fire Strike - Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today's high-performance gaming PCs.

Cloud Gate - Cloud Gate uses a DirectX 11 engine limited to Direct3D feature level 10 making it suitable for testing DirectX 10 compatible hardware.

Ice Storm - Use 3DMark Ice Storm to compare mainstream smartphones and tablets. On Windows, Ice Storm uses a DirectX 11 engine limited to Direct3D feature level 9.
