Aria.co.uk Gladiator i5 4.4GHz Z68 Bundle
CineBench
In CPU terms the Gladiator puts up a great showing with the Aria overclocked Core-i5 2500K just shy of 7 CPU Pts. Obviously the Intel HD3000 graphics haven’t got the oomph to power the OpenGL testing to a big score, but we wouldn’t expect it to.
x264 Encoding
x264 is the High Definition codec of choice and although HD playback was flawless we also wanted to give you some hard stats and so brought out the x264 Benchmark, here in v3 form. Considering this is encoding and we’re seeing a 78 FPS average on a two-pass encode, you can understand that mere playback is absolutely impeccable.
