A Performance Comparison of Dell and Hp Desktop Systems R A PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF DELL AND HP DESKTOP SYSTEMS Workers can be only as productive as their tools allow them to be. On a sluggish system, the most basic office tasks can become exercises in frustration, lowering user productivity and morale. Principled Technologies ran a series of industry-standard benchmarks to measure system performance. We tested two Dell desktops powered by 2nd generation Intel Core processors, a mid-range Dell Vostro™ 460 Mini Tower and a high-end Dell OptiPlex™ 990 Mini Tower, and two HP desktops powered by AMD processors, a mid-range HP Pavilion Slimline s5750z and a high-end HP Pavilion p6750z. The Intel Core processor-based Dell systems consistently delivered higher benchmark scores—as much as 148.4 percent higher—than the corresponding HP Pavilion systems, making Dell a great choice for productivity in the workplace. MAY 2011 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT Commissioned by Dell Inc. DELL AND INTEL DELIVER PERFORMANCE Responsive performance enhances worker productivity. That’s why, when choosing desktop systems for the workplace, it makes sense to purchase systems powerful enough to execute tasks quickly and efficiently. In our tests, we found that the Intel Core processor-based Dell Vostro 460 Mini Tower and Dell OptiPlex 990 delivered considerably better performance than comparable AMD processor-based HP systems— with gains up to 148.4 percent. (To learn more about the systems we tested, see Appendix A. To learn more about how we tested, see Appendix B.) SYSmark 2007 Preview v1.06 measures system performance in four workload scenarios: e-learning, office productivity, video creation, and 3D modeling. Figure 1 shows the SYSmark 2007 Preview performance for four desktop systems. The Dell Vostro 460 Mini Tower, with a score of 244, outperformed the HP Pavilion Slimline s5750z (which had a score of 144) by 69.4 percent. The Dell OptiPlex 990 Mini Tower’s score of 276 was 69.3 percent higher than the HP Pavilion p6750z score of 163. MAXON CINEBENCH consists of two main components. The first test sequence targets the computer’s main processor. CINEBENCH plays a scene that makes use of various CPU-intensive features. During the first run, the benchmark uses only one SYSmark 2007 Preview v1.06 Rating CPU or CPU core to determine a 276 300 244 reference value. On computers that have multiple CPUs or cores, 200 144 163 CINEBENCH will run a second test 100 using all available CPU power. The Score 0 Dell Vostro 460 HP Pavilion Dell OptiPlex HP Pavilion benchmark produces a single-CPU Mini Tower Slimline s5750z 990 Mini p6750z (Intel Core i5- (AMD Athlon II Tower (AMD Phenom score for all computers, and a 2400) X4 640) (Intel Core i7- II X4 840) multiple-CPU score for those 2600) computers with multiple cores.
