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. The CPU test suite certainly loads the processor to its maximum potential and this was depicted in its eternity with the four logical processors of the Intel Pentium XE 965 processor garnering a very high score. Not exactly representative of the real world, which is why this is known as a synthetic test. In the memory test suite, AMD processors faired better with their direct memory access, but Intel's Core 2 processors are so fast that they helped speed up the overall read/write bandwidth as well and clinched top spot once again.
