SiSoftware Sandra Benchmark Disclosure Environment

SiSoftware Sandra - The Diagnostic Tool, Benchmark Disclosure Environment

This document describes the hardware and software used for calibrating the benchmarks included in the program. It is not meant to be a complete list but to be used as a guide.

Do note that all the systems used have been optimised as far as possible (speeds, timings, devices used, settings, etc.). These are not off the shelf systems - most systems will yield lower scores.
