PerformanceTest is not based on the Spec benchmark.

Spec claim to be non profit, but despite this, to purchase the complete suite of Spec tests would be more than $10,000 USD. They also don't offer software you can download and use as an evaluation for most of their packages, plus you need a complier to compile the tests. PerformanceTest is $24 and we offer a free eval and pre-compiled binaries.

Which companies use PerformanceTest?

We have more than 10,000 customers. Including Microsoft, NASA, Dell, Intel, AMD / ATI, HP, ASUS, IBM, Symantec, 100's of Military sales, GE, Bank of America, Verizon, etc...

Is PerformanceTest developed in corporation with other companies?

There have been numerous users that have made suggestions for product improvements over the years, but we do all the development work.
