SPECworkstation 3.1 is a specialized test designed for benchmarking the key aspects of workstation performance; it uses over 30 workloads, containing nearly 140 tests to test CPU, graphics, I/O, and memory bandwidth. The workloads fall into seven categories;
Media and Entertainment – 3D animation, rendering
Product Development – CAD/CAM/CAE
Life Sciences – medical, molecular
Energy – oil and gas
Financial Services,
General Operations
GPU Compute.
We use the WPCstorage section of the benchmark which uses fifteen separate tests to benchmark drives.
Testing the drive with the SPECworkstation 3.1 benchmark, this test shows just how powerful the DC P5800X is. It dominated all the runs leaving every other drive in its wake.
