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
Sandra Processor Arithmetic
Sandra Memory Bandwidth
As expected, the GL702VT's arithmetic performance is virtually identical to the MSI GS40's – they have the same CPU, after all. But the memory bandwidth perhaps explains the reduced 3DMark performance.
Thanks to having just one memory DIMM, the GL702VT is reduced to single-channel memory performance, and its bandwidth is clearly almost exactly half that of the MSI notebook, despite using the same 2,133MHz memory and having the same 16GB quantity.
I earn close to $6.000-$8.000 /every month from freelancing online. For those of you who are looking to do basic freelance jobs for 2-5 h /day from your house and earn solid paycheck while doing it… Try this gig FAVE.CO/20SR7Wt
Seriously how can you make a gaming laptop in this day and age without an SSD? With current prices it’s not that hard to give 128 or even 256GB of space. I’ll bet a lot of gamers would prefer the massive performance increase over the extra space; I know I would.
I have a Dell XPS with a 512GB SSD and 960m. Work paid for it. Worth every penny haha.
I tried MGSV on it earlier and it ran at fairly high settings with an issue. No throttling or anything
I am earning about $6,000-$8,000 on monthly basis online. Those who are prepared to work basic at home jobs for 2-5 h every day from your couch at home and get valuable income for doing it… Then this work is for you… FAVE.CO/20SQZ9r
IKR! I bought last year an Alienware 17 and immediately swapped the 1TB hard drive with a 256GB SSD like on the same week and no regrets! The performance gains are amazing and its only a Crucial MX100 which is working good, a little underrated one.
After the bad experience that I had with Asus after sales support regarding my venerable Asus G74sx, I will never buy another Asus laptop like ever.
