Next, we have some lighter set synthetic tests. Futuremark's PCMark05 contains several small synthetic subsystem tests that are generally capable of pinpointing the system's capabilities in brief. In the CPU test suite we see reasonably expected performance standings of both Xeon dual processor configurations against the consumer class platforms. However, the memory test suite retuned rather bizarre results and we can't be sure of this outcome till we obtain more modern tools to analyze that aspect. A brief check with the old Cachemem utility revealed scores wildly in favor of the Xeon dual processor platform, which is quite the opposite of what PCMark returned.
