There are two tests actually shown here. One being the “Day in the
Life” Scores, the other are the actual”
SPECapc scores”. Professionals who use
SPECapc will understand these scores
shown as they relate to composite
scoring. For a full explanation of what
SPEC set out to achieve see
http://www.spec.org/gwpg/apc.data/specapc_sw2007_summary.html.

SolidWorks benchmark may also be further
broken down into three individual
results. We can therefore gauge more
accurate information stemming from the
CPU, I/O, graphics performance and just
how much Peak Wattage is consumed
throughout the individual tests. |

On the
AMD Platform,
the average
wattage consumption to be found whilst
at idle was noted at 111 Watts. With
the installation of Diskeeper® 2008 Pro
Premier Edition with complete functionality
enabled within the software; the systems
idle speed had been noted to have
remained stable at 111 Watts.
On the
Intel Platform,
the average
wattage consumption to be found whilst
at idle was noted at
66
Watts. With the installation of
Diskeeper® 2008 Pro Premier Edition
with complete functionality enabled
within the software; the systems idle
speed had been noted to have remained
stable at
63

Total Time to complete the SPECapc for 3ds Max™ 9,
SPECapc for SolidWorks 2007™ and
Diskeeper® 2008 Pro Premier Edition
tests above on the
AMD Platform
was 7 hours and 31 minutes. Over this
period 0.89 KWH’s of energy was used.
Total Time to complete the SPECapc for 3ds Max™ 9,
SPECapc for SolidWorks 2007™ and
Diskeeper® 2008 Pro Premier Edition
tests above on the on
the Intel
Platform was
3 hours
and 06 minutes. Over this
period
0.25 KWH’s of energy was used. |

For the
last few pages, we have been showing
completely unequivocal evidence of just
how much time, energy but most
importantly no reduction in productivity
output.
To reiterate, the figures overall are
astonishing. |
