Principled Technologies, Inc.: Performance on Microsoft Windows

Vista of Intel vPro technology-based and AMD processor-based PCs

in common business scenarios

use the geometric mean of the normalized times for each task.)

These performance improvements typically translated into time savings that users would notice and appreciate.

For example, the longest background task took 50.39 seconds on the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ processor-based

PC but only 22.79 seconds--almost 28 seconds faster--on the Intel vPro technology-based PC with the Intel Core

2 Duo processor E6700.

So that we could make the two test systems as similar as reasonably possible while varying the processors and

motherboards, we built the systems rather than purchasing them from vendors. Intel specified the general system

types and supplied the processors and motherboards. We purchased common such components as RAM, hard

disks, and optical drives. Each test system had the following basic components (see Appendix A for detailed

configuration information):

• 1GB of the fastest RAM its motherboard supported

• 80GB hard disk with an 8MB buffer (SATA)

• DVD-RW optical drive

• Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate

We used the following common office and collaborative applications, which we list in alphabetical order:

• Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2006

• Microsoft Office Excel 2007

• Microsoft Office Groove 2007 (available only in Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 Edition)

• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007

• Microsoft Office Word 2007

• Microsoft Windows Media Player 11

• Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery Slideshow

The application scenarios we tested included such common functions as:

• Opening files

• Editing files

• Receiving email

• Syncing Microsoft Groove workgroup content

• Recalculating Excel spreadsheets

• Viewing a slideshow

• Playing HD videos

In the following sections we look more closely at our test application scenarios (Application scenarios), examine

the results of our tests (Test results and analysis), and give detailed information about how we actually performed

the tests (Test methodology). In the appendices, we present the configurations of the test systems and explain

how to manually execute the application functions in our scenarios.
