Passmark Bench

[Taj Barnett]

PassMarkSoftware has delved into the millions of benchmark results thatPerformanceTest usershave posted to its web site and produced a comprehensive range of CPU charts tohelp compare the relative speeds of different processors from Intel, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm and others.

Included in these lists are CPUs designed for servers and workstations(such as Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors), desktop CPUs(Intel Core Series and AMD Ryzen), in addition to ARM processors(Apple M1 and Qualcomm Snapdragon) and mobile CPUs.

To ensure that the full CPU power of a PC system is realized,PerformanceTest runs each CPU test on all available CPUs. Specifically,PerformanceTestruns one simultaneous CPU test for every logical CPU (Hyper-threaded);physical CPU core (dual core) or physical CPU package (multiple CPU chips).Sohypothetically if you have a PC that has two CPUs, each with dual cores thatuse hyper-threading, then PerformanceTest will run eight simultaneoustests....

Rarely is a graph completely accurate in what it is representing. There aremany factors that can skew the results and make a graph misleading. As suchit is necessary to have some background understanding of the data beingpresented.

PassMark Software has delved into the millions of benchmark results that PerformanceTest users have posted to its web siteand produced four charts to help compare the relative performance of different video cards (lessfrequently known as graphics accelerator cards or display adapters) from major manufacturerssuch asAMD, nVidia, Intel and others. Higher quality video cards improve overall system performance formany computing activities such as PC gaming, video editing and software development. Recentlyintroduced AMD video cards (such as the AMD RX 6950 XT) and nVidia graphics cards (such as thenVidia GeForce RTX 3090) using the PCI-Express (or PCI-E) standard are common in our high endvideo card charts.

In the case of these Video Card Benchmarks there are several factors to consider,such asdifferent system setups the Video Cards are running under and the possibility thatusershave overclocked their systems.... [ Learn more about thegraphs]

Download and install the latest version of PerformanceTest.

Start PerformanceTest then from the menu bar select "Tests -> Run All Tests".

Once the tests have run select "Baseline -> Upload Baseline to Web".

We have stopped providing charts for PerformanceTest V7 as of October 10, 2012.Users cancontinue to useV7 of the software and submit results, but the charts will no longer be updated withtheirresults.For users who want to refer back to V7 results, we have provided the following list. This list is forreference only and users are encouraged to visit the new charts which are generatedwithPeformanceTest V8and V9test submissions.

Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Committee sets the health care spending benchmark. The Delaware Health Care Commission is responsible for collecting information and analyzing performance against the benchmark.

Delaware continues to make progress in the adoption of value-based payment reform strategies and has made investments in transitioning to value-based payment models. Delaware is supporting changes in policy and legislation to help reduce the cost of healthcare in the state. The Health Care Spending Benchmark will position Delaware to move toward innovative payment reform strategies, address issues in access to care, and quality improvement.

So the more I am happy that I found over the Flame M1 thread that the benchmark is still in use and it got updated as well. That is very cool.

I would like to update the flame archive on my website as well.

Is the Flame_Benchmark_2020.2.zip the latest version that everyone is using?

I checked that I am using frame based rendering and only selected the top track to render.

At first I thought my TB-NVMe was a bottleneck, but using the internal SSDs gives the same result.

My setup: MacStudio M1Ultra 64Cores and 128GB SSD with macOS 13.2

Its amazing how fast things are changing and going to change in the next year or two, will apple cpu support the next hurdle will be graphics based then with the nvme storage being so fast I have adopted working completely uncached and archives now are MB not hundreds of GB which is amazing, it takes a bit to get used to that workflow but once the switch is done it sort of makes sense and figure in five years most will be working this way and save a ton of duplicate file space not to mention the uncompressed archives.

every thing has its use cases I think working as an island is better suited than facilities , I worked at a facility and people were working soft imported and the server went down for a few hours, nothing like seeing about 15 flame artists standing around doing nothing for several hours to see the fault of this but if you are an island it works out a bit better.

I agree that its definitely a risk, but people are vastly underestimating the time lost daily to a cached workflow. You only need to save a few minutes a day to make up for the occasional downed server.

ESMA is the supervisor of administrators of EU critical benchmarks and of third-country administrators recognised in the EU. ESMA is also responsible for promoting the consistent implementation of the Benchmarks Regulation across the EU using a variety of policy tools.

The scope of the Benchmarks Regulation is broad. It includes three categories of benchmarks: critical, significant and non-significant benchmarks, with critical benchmarks subject to stricter rules. The Benchmarks Regulation includes also specific rules for commodity benchmarks and interest rates. In November 2019, two new categories of benchmarks were included: EU Climate Transition and EU Paris-aligned benchmarks.

The equivalence regime applies at jurisdiction level, and it is driven by an assessment by the Commission. When the Commission adopts an equivalence decision, stating that the regulatory framework of a third-country is equivalent to the EU BMR, ESMA establishes cooperation arrangements with the competent authority of that third country. The following are the equivalent decisions adopted by the Commission under BMR and the corresponding cooperation arrangements between ESMA and the third country authorities.

Critical benchmarks fall in two categories. Those that are critical across the EU (EU critical benchmarks) or they are critical in one Member State (national critical benchmarks). The list of all critical benchmarks is available here. The national competent authorities are responsible for the supervision of the administrators providing national critical benchmarks in their respective country. ESMA is responsible for the supervision of the EU critical benchmarks. Currently, the only EU critical benchmark is EURIBOR, administered by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI). In July 2019, EMMI was authorised as administrator of EURIBOR under the Benchmarks Regulation by the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA). On 1 January 2022, the supervisory responsibilities over EMMI were transferred from the FSMA to ESMA.

If an administrator, located in a third country, wishes to be recognised in the EU for its benchmarks to be used in the EU, then it has to apply for recognition with ESMA. Article 32 of the Benchmarks Regulation requires the applicant administrator to provide all information necessary to satisfy ESMA that it has established, at the time of recognition, all the necessary arrangements to meet the requirements set out in the Benchmarks Regulation and further specified in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1645. The form and content of an application for recognition are detailed in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1645.

Before submitting an application for recognition, applicants are strongly encouraged to engage with ESMA as they prepare the necessary documentation for the application. Administrators interested in applying for recognition can reach out to ESMA by email (Supervi...@esma.europa.eu). Such pre-application engagement will in no way prejudice the subsequent submission of the application.

ESMA charges a fee to applicants for each application for recognition received. ESMA also charges annual supervisory fees to the administrators it supervises. The fee amount is defined in Commission delegated regulation on supervisory fees applicable to benchmark administrators.

Under the Benchmarks Regulation, a supervised entity located in the EU may use a benchmark: (i) if the benchmark is provided by an administrator located in the EU included in the ESMA register or (ii) if the benchmark is provided by an administrator located outside the EU and the benchmark is included in the ESMA register. ESMA publishes a register of administrators and third country benchmarks, in accordance with Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. ESMA started publishing this list of Administrators and third country benchmarks on 3 January 2018.

The Benchmarks Regulation empowered ESMA to develop Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Implementing Technical Standards (ITS). Furthermore, the European Commission requested ESMA to provide technical advice for the adoption of Commission delegated acts. A full overview of the Implementing and Delegated Acts on the Benchmarks Regulation is available here.

ESMA has also used its different policy tools and has already issued guidelines, Q&As, supervisory briefings, and briefings on various topics related to the Benchmarks Regulation, to promote a consistent and convergent application of the requirements across the EU.
