CAT CPU Tester1.0

CAT CPU Tester is a lightweight, yet reliable program that allows you to test the speed and performance of your system’s processor. The software is capable of performing both single and multi-threaded tests, in order to attain a more accurate result, regarding the capabilities of your system’s CPU.

Alternative threaded tests

CAT CPU Tester allows you to choose which type of test you wish to perform, by clicking on the dedicated buttons. The purpose of these tests is to estimate how quickly a processor is able to perform a variety of calculations. The test consists of a complex series of algorithms that the processor needs to handle. At the end of the test, the performance is graded based on how quickly was the processor capable of finishing the calculations.The single thread test implies that CAT CPU Tester only runs one stream of instructions, while the multi-thread evaluation runs several streams per core. Both types of tests are useful, since most of the times user applications only use a single thread in order to run.

Processor score and info

CAT CPU Tester can instantly read the physical information regarding your system’s processor, such as brand, model, estimated speed, core count and number of threads. The main area of the application is dedicated to a graphic representation of the benchmark test: a grid of blocks which gradually disappear as the test progresses.Aside from the remaining blocks, a percentage count indicate how much of the benchmark test remains to be performed. At the end of the evaluation, the test results are displayed in the dedicated area, as points, both for the single threaded and multi-threaded test.

Simple to use application for CPU testing

CAT CPU Tester is lightweight and very easy to use. The purpose of the application is to offer you information regarding the real capabilities of your system’s processor. Moreover, the details of the test are saved to text files each time you perform the test, so you can also compare the results in time.
