SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.
Sandra is a (girls') name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.
It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.
Native ports for all major operating systems are available:
- Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x86)
- Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x64)
- Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
- Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
- Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)
All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:
- SMP – Multi-Processor
- MC – Multi-Core
- SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
- MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions
- GPGPU, DirectX, OpenGL – Graphics
- NUMA – Non-Uniform Memory Access
- AMD64/EM64T/x64 – 64-bit extensions to x86
- IA64 – Intel* Itanium 64-bit
The first thing to note is the performance of the i5-6500 in the CPU arithmetic test. While significantly faster than my dual-core i3-4160, it lags behind the mobile i7-6700HQ in the Dell Inspiron 15 7559 due to its hyper-threading ability.
However, you can see the advantage DDR4 RAM has over DDR3 in the memory bandwidth test – although the margin is not huge.
Doesnt look “mini” to me. Try harder.
I currently get paid close to $6k-$8k /every month working from home online. Everyone willing to complete basic freelance jobs for few h daily from your living room and make good payment while doing it… Try this job CHILP.IT/45fc05a

It says Mini-ITX. That’s the motherboard size.
given the efficiency and the founders blower design, a 1070 option would be interesting.
