SiS 746FX Reference Board Review (5)
Overclocker 8 Jan 2002

Benchmarking

ZD Content Creation 2002

Content Creation Winstone is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP. Content Creation Winstone 2002 uses the following applications:

Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1
Adobe Premiere 6.0
Macromedia Director 8.5
Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7.01.00.3055
Netscape Navigator 6/6.01
Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 5.0c (build 184)

Following the lead of real users, Content Creation Winstone 2002 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those applications. Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a single large test that runs the above applications through a series of scripted activities and returns a single score. Those activities focus on what we call "hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.

As we know, CCWS2002 relies a lot of disk performance. In our tests, we find that the disk performance is pretty impressive (numbers will be updated in part 2 in the next few days). In this category, we see that the SiS 746FX ref board scores a high score of 39.6 which overtakes even the nForce2 Epox and Shuttle nForce2 and ABIT KT400. It's almost 2.5% ~ 8% faster than other chipsets.
