If you want to some “synthentic” benchmarking software to test your TR for comparison to other systems, you can download Futuremark’s latest benchmark PCMark04.

I tested this software on my TR1 and get a score of 1602 .

Any TR2 owners out there who want to give this a try? Note that there is one current issue with the software in that it may not recognize your hard disk for the HDD tests. They’re currently working on a fix for this. It still shouldn’t affect your overall score (i think).

I used the free version of PCMark04 (shouldn’t matter), and got a score of 1788 PCMarks on my TR2A. Seems in line with the very minor CPU bump over the TR1.

That seems about right. 10% faster CPU and your score is a little over 10% higher. Thanks for sharing! :D

Ok, weird. I tested my TR1 again with this software because I’m setting up a friend’s new Toshiba laptop and I got a score of 1705 while their score was 2413.

Both laptops are similarly equipped in terms of specs. Their Toshiba laptop has the same background chipset 855GM, Intel Graphics, and sound chipset. Anyways, the Toshiba was a 2.4Ghz Celeron with 512MB of DDR and an IBM hard disk.

So, the scores sort of intrigued me. I’m sure it’s random coincidence but the 2.4Ghz Celeron scores a 2413 while my 900Mhz Pentium M scores 1705. Well, we all know that the 900Mhz (or 1Ghz) Pentium M does not perform like a “900Mhz” CPU. In fact, it’s known that a Pentium M typically performs equivalent to a Pentium 4 that is 700-800Mhz faster. So, 900 + 800 = 1700. Hmmm…2400+ points equals 2.4Ghz.  1700+ equals around 1.7Ghz of performance. :wink:
