16. Application Benchmarks - PCMark04

 

 

PCMark04 is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real applications instead of including very large applications or using specifically created code. This allows PCMark04 to be a smaller installation as well as to report very accurate results. As far as possible, PCMark04 uses public domain applications whose source code can be freely examined by any user.

PCMark04 includes 4 categorized suites for benchmarking your computer. These include a CPU, Graphics, Memory and a Hard Disk Drive benchmark.

We ran all the test for both operating systems.Here are the extended results:

The difference is unnoticeable with most of the PCMark04 tests.

Once again, the differences in the graphics tests puts Windows XP in 1st place because of the WOW64 emulator. Take a look at the results for the transparent windows test under the Graphics suite. In this test, 10 windows are drawn on-screen and then faded in and out. The results then record the average number of windows drawn per second.

In the memory and CPU tests, the differences is also not noticeable. With the HDD tests, we notice a performance increase with Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. This is because of the better memory handling of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition which we have already discussed.
