SiSoftware Sandra 2010 SP3 16.67 Released

By

If you are one of the 600 worldwide IT publications, magazines and review sites that use SANDRA or just like to use to personally to check out your system performance you’ll be happy to know that a new version came out today. SiSoftware Sandra 2010 SP3 16.67 has been released and it supports things like AVX instructions from the upcoming Intel 32nm Sandy Bridge processor series. It also supports up to 256 thread now in Windows for those lucky to have a server with that many available!

This release contains a few changes enthusiasts will like:

  • AVX instruction set (Sandy Bridge): extensive support in all benchmarks: Multi-Media (integer & float), Memory Bandwidth (integer & float, buffered and unbuffered/streaming), Cache & Memory (non-streaming).
  • Support for up to 256 threads on Windows 7/Server 2008 R2! We’ve only tested up to 80-threads, but if you have more we’d love to hear from you! It also supports systems with holes in CPU list (e.g. CPU numbers not sequential) though it’s best not to have holes wherever possible.
  • Blu-Ray: we are launching Blu-Ray test disks in addition to the DVD and CD-ROM test disks!
