Now for the part you've all been waiting for (or that you've skipped everything else to find). Based on its Geekbench high score of 13,483, the 2010 Ultimate PC is the fastest desktop machine we've seen. Aside from servers, the only thing faster was this same processor and motherboard overclocked by about 10 percent. When set to 3.75GHz, the system delivered a Geekbench score of 14,463.
Testers also evaluated performance of transaction processing and throughput using Intel's Iometer open source benchmark. Peak rates of 109,000 IO/s were observed when performing 100 percent random reads of a 512K file, during which time the transfer rate peaked at about 52.6 MB/s.
Without exception, the components we selected for the 2010 Ultimate PC are made available through channel-friendly manufacturers and vendors.
