HDXPRT 2011 White Papers
1. General benchmark white paper
In this white paper, we explore general aspects of HDXPRT 2011 and how it measures the performance of target configurations. We describe the various usage categories and test scenarios implemented by the benchmark’s various workloads, and discuss in detail the scoring metrics and processes used.

2. Benchmark scaling white paper
This white paper is the first in a series where we investigate how changes in hardware configuration affect HDXPRT 2011 media creation scoring. We report on actual testing Principled Technologies conducted with varying processor types and clock frequencies, memory sizes, use of internal graphics versus external graphics cards, use of hard disk drives (HDDs) versus solid state drives (SSDs), and use of frequency boosting using Intel Turbo Boost Technology.

3. Benchmark scaling white paper # 2
This white paper is a continuation of our previous HDXPRT 2011 scaling behavior paper. Here, we further explore how graphics components affect HDXPRT 2011 scores with earlier processors. To do this, we configured an earlier generation Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6600 with 4 GB of RAM, and tested HDXPRT 2011 on it with internal graphics and external ATI Radeon and NVIDIA graphics cards. The paper presents our test results and includes a comparison of how the graphics approach influences HDXPRT 2011 overall scores for both the Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6600 and the 2nd-generation Intel Core i7-2600K processor.
