Abstract:
Futuremark develops industry standard benchmarking software (such as 3DMark) that measures hardware performance of PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Running benchmarks during the product development process can highlight setup and stability problems. Comparing scores from similar systems can help you choose between upgrades and new components.
This talk will center on how Futuremark and the companies that are working in its programs are involved in benchmarking the new generation of processors.
