Sandra 2012 released!
SiSoftware Sandra 2012 Released:
Device Performance Certification, General Processing (GP) for GPU/APU, .Net/METRO for Windows 8
London, UK, November 7th 2011 – We are pleased to announce the launch of SiSoftware Sandra 2012, the latest version of our award-winning utility, which includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks.
At SiSoftware we operate on a “just-in-time” release cycle: we add features as soon as available and do not wait for the release of major versions of our software to include them. We observe the industry, predict where trends are going, and devise new ways to measure performance. SiSoftware works with all major hardware vendors to ensure we can accurately measure, report and present results in the most accurate and informative way.
In preparation for Windows 8 and its brand-new METRO API running on .Net (as used on Windows Phone 7.x), we have updated our .Net benchmarks that can measure .Net CLR performance. A new METRO style interface is also included for Windows 8 users. The GPGPU benchmarks have been upgraded to General Processing (GP) benchmarks, able to fully test the new APU (CPU+GPU) processors.
Using statistical analysis tools against the 1 million+ benchmark results submitted to the Official SiSoftware Ranker, you can now certify* whether your tested device operates at peak performance. Based on the quality and variability of the results you can determine whether there are issues with the device that need to be addressed.

There is way too much new to list and here is an in-depth new feature list of Sandra 2012. The best news is that we have already downloaded our evaluation copy and have already used it to compare our Core i3-2105 versus our Phenom II 970 X4 which is going to be published tomorrow! We are also going to be exploring Hyper-Threading in gaming and this evaluation is not to be missed.
During our evaluation, we found that the new features of Sandra 2012 are both exciting and very useful. Download the lite (evaluation) copy and see for yourself.
