In all instances, *Day in the Life Scores*[1] lower scores are better/faster.

[1] 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.
