Computer Benchmarking

* What is Benchmarking?
Benchmarking is a performance test of hardware and/or software. The process evaluates and compares devices or systems. Processors are frequently benchmarked, in the hopes of coming up with a single number that can capture the value of the CPU and let it be easily compared to others.
* Why Can Benchmarking Be Useful?
The value of benchmarking is that it allows us to compare hardware and/or software. The problem with it is that there are so many ways to do it, and the answers different benchmarks give about the same processors aren't always consistent.
