SiSoftware Sandra是一款可运行在32bit和64bit Windows操作系统上的分析软件，它可以对于系统进行方便、快捷的基准测试，还可以用于查看系统的软件、硬件等信息。SiSoftware Sandra所有的基准测试都针对SMP和SMT进行了优化，最高可支持32/64路平台。我们利用了其中多个性能测试模块对于被测系统的性能进行了快速的测试。
有一点需要说明的是，Sandra的处理器架构性能测试是根据处理器所能支持的所有指令集中选择进行的，不同的处理器支持的指令集不同，测试使用到的指令集也就不同。例如，Nehalem在这个测试当中就可以使用SSE4.2，而Penryn就只能使用SSE4.1，而用Opteron可能就只能到SSE3了。一般而言，由于可以使用SSE4，Intel的处理器理论性能会比较好。

SiSoftware Sandra对比
尽管采用了略慢的内存（DDR3-1066），然而ASUS Z8NA-D6C的成绩仍然超过了同样采用了ASUS主板（Z8PS-D12-1U）的测试样机。测试样机是在Nehalem-EP发布前送到我们IT168评测中心的，可以理解为，时过境迁，新的系统得到了微调。
