WinBench 99 V1.2
WinBench 99 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics, disk, processor, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's 32-bit tests can only run on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT systems. WinBench 99 features new, improved graphics tests, improved disk tests, and several all-new tests for all types of storage devices.
WinBench 99's Graphics Playback technology reproduces the graphics operations the Winstone 99 business and high-end applications perform, affording you a better-than-ever measure of your PC's graphics subsystem. WinBench 99 returns the following main results that provide an overview of a PC's graphics, disk, and processor performance:
- Business Graphics WinMark 99 and Business Disk WinMark 99
- High-End Graphics WinMark 99 and High-End Disk WinMark 99
- CPUmark32 (32-bit processor test)
- FPU WinMark 99 (32-bit floating-point test)
BatteryMark 4.0.1
The test was performed under a worst case scenario; we disabled hibernation and suspend modes to force the notebooks to completely drain their batteries. The BatteryMark software runs a similar suite of software to the other tests while recording the battery life. We reiterate: these are all worst case scenarios, and actual battery life will be substantially greater.
