Futuremark Launches Value for
Performance Shopping
New service empowers users with unique
purchasing information – price vs. performance statistics for
processors and graphics cards.
Espoo, Finland - January 24, 2008 - Futuremark
Corporation, www.futuremark.com, announced today the full release of
the "Price and Performance Information Page" on YouGamers.com. This
new Futuremark service takes the guesswork out of buying your next
processor or graphics card. "Users often ask the question, 'how fast
can my system go for my hard earned dollars?", said Matti Kontu, VP
of Futuremark. "Now Futuremark answers that question."
What makes the service unique is the amount of
real-world data used to calculate the system performance. Futuremark
currently receives over 20,000 benchmark results from 3DMark06 each
day which provide real-life performance statistics contributing to a
more accurate service for the informed shopper. This data from the
3DMark06 scores is matched with retail prices from CNET Shopper and
is used to calculate relative performance from over 120 processors
and graphic cards to help consumers make better purchasing
decisions. The service is available free for anyone at:
