XtremeMark

In some situations it can be useful, even just out for mere curiosity, to know more about your computer's performance and more precisely how fast it is: to this end it is necessary to run a specific type of software known as a "benchmark". XtremeMark is a software of this kind and it will test the speed of your PC and in particular that of your CPU (Central Processing Unit) by timing the execution of a large amount of calculations.

XtremeMark can put both older and newer CPUs to the test; it supports 32/64bit processors, multicore and multi-thread (max 16 cores or parallel threads) machines. The strong point of XtremeMark is in its wide range of customization options: you can set how many threads to use for the test, how many calculations to carry out (from 10 million to 100 billion) and the priority level for calculations. Once a test has been performed, XtremeMark compiles a report which contains precise information about your system and test results; the report is also exportable as TXT or RTF format files, thus it'll be easier to save it or share it on the internet with friends or technical support.
