WebMark® 2004, the latest version of the Internet client metric based on real world Internet technologies, measures and enables comparison of PC performance. It is a ground-up development, featuring new user driven workloads. WebMark is based on a foundation of extensive research into emerging usage models and computing trends. It incorporates the latest benchmarking methodologies to evaluate platform technologies.
WebMark 2004 is an Internet technology based benchmark that accurately reflects usage patterns for business users in two Internet usage categories - Information Processing and Commercial Transactions. Each category represents the workload of a simulated user accomplishing a set of common tasks.
Benchmarks designed by BAPCo are the result of a cooperative agreement between industry leading companies from a variety of disciplines ranging from publications, testing labs, PC manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturing. BAPCo's depth of membership represents the breadth of the computing industry and harnesses a consortium of knowledge.
Why use the latest version of WebMark?
- WebMark 2004 represents a significant advance in ease of use for the testing of Internet client environments.
- Featuring two modes of operation, official scores can be reported in either on-line and offline mode. Offline mode enables users to discover the Internet client performance of their PC using content stored locally. On-line mode requires an additional server to host test content but further empowers users to measure additional technologies such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and web services.
- It is the first benchmark to use Internet technology experts (with at least five years of professional experience) to completely develop the content and operations used throughout the benchmark. As a result, WebMark 2004 contains scientifically designed workloads that represent a range of activities that an Internet user in the business environment may encounter.
- With extensive validation across multiple platforms, users can be sure of a consistent and reliable performance comparison.
