Principled Technologies, Inc.: Performance on Microsoft Windows
Vista of Intel vPro technology-based and AMD processor-based PCs
in common business scenarios
Appendix B – Instructions for running the application scenarios
We evaluated the performance of each of the test systems on each of the application scenarios (see the
Application scenarios section for more information on them) by hand-timing the tasks in those scenarios.
We collected results for five runs of each scenario in each system configuration. We refer in this paper only to the
median results of those runs on each system configuration. Lower times to complete a given function indicate
better performance. We round those times to hundredths of seconds in this report.
In the following instructions, we assume you have already completed all of the setup work in the Test
Methodology section.
