Performance / Benchmarking
Benchmark is the act of running software to assess the relative performance of a system. They are usually standard tests to compare other systems. Benchmarking is usually associated with assessing performance characteristics of computer hardware, for example, the floating point operation performance of a CPU or the performance of a GPU. There are situations when the technique is also applicable to software. Software benchmarks can be run against compilers or database management systems.
MINI TASK
Read the review of the Dell XPS 15 and briefly discuss the difference between the specs and the benchmarking within the review. Why don't we only judge a system based on its specifications?
