Sandra 2013 will introduce 3 new benchmarks for Windows 8
They include :
* New GP (GPU/APU/CPU) Cache/Memory Latency benchmark
Benchmark all the different memories (global, constant, shared/local, private) of modern GPGPUs using the 3 access patterns (in-page random, full random, sequential/linear) in OpenCL and CUDA. Please ask if you need details.
* New GP (GPU/APU/CPU) Cache Bandwidth benchmark
Benchmark all the different memories (global, constant, shared/local, private) of modern GPGPUs and measure L1, L2 and L3 cache bandwidths in OpenCL and CUDA. Please ask if you need details.
* Memory Latency benchmark: code/instruction caches latencies
A brand new benchmark using its 3 dedicated access patterns (“in-page” thus avoiding “out-of-page” latencies, “full random” and “linear/sequential”) to fully test code caches performance. Please ask if you need details.
* Brand new style for Windows 8
So you feel “at home” in Windows 8 / Server 2012.
The previous theme (Aero/Metal) is included. Windows 7, Vista and XP are still fully supported!
