Though that as a benchmark only tells which platform is better per watt at a certain task. Better in terms of hardware is a completely subjective word and more based on ones flawed opinions then any form of science. I, for one may say the NES is the best console in existence for various reasons despite what any form of common benchmarks might tell me.'Lambertus' said:
indeed. to be scientifically-correct one has to use synthetic benchmarking, and real-world usage is rarely synthetic-like. basically, unless you are looking for measuring extrema (x hours of decoding lala video format with certain characteristics, y hours of doing fft, etc) creating real-life-like benchamarking metric can be anything from painful to non-viable. that does not mean that knowing some of the extrema in the performance of a unit is useless, as extrema do give us a best-case notion, but that is why they are extreme ; )'fireball87' said:
not quite. the dvi/vga port is missing.'Mr Poletski' said:
