Intel IT has developed a PC platform performance benchmarking process that enables us to measure, manage, and optimize our client PC builds from the user perspective, resulting in improved platform performance and more realistic user expectations. Although each generation of PCs is faster than its predecessor, the application loads we place on them increase as well, preventing users from taking full advantage of hardware performance increases. As part of an integrated planning and release process, platform benchmarking helps solve this problem, increasing IT efficiency, productivity, and employee satisfaction, as well as proactive communication with suppliers.

Is it possible to get more information about the tools used to measure and benchmark performance? We are working on a similar initiative for our Dell-Intel platform, although not as thoroughly as you did it, and it is hard to find best practices and software to do this. Thanks!
