Testing Setup and Benchmarks Used
Testing the Aurora 7500
To test the performance of the Alienware Aurora 7500 system, we combined most of our tests from the CPU testing suite, the motherboard test suite and even GPU test suite. In order to get the best overall look at system performance we threw the most important tests from our test suites at the Aurora 7500 to see how it compared to a DIY built FX-62 system that we just happen to have setup on the test bed right next to it.
