Why would anyone care ? It has been years performance (or lack
thereof) in Sandra has had any correlation to application
performance. The colour of the user's eyes is a better
predictor of application performance than Sandra.

How about some specifics?

I'm not questioning your opinion, but that's all you gave us. Any
alternatives you (or others) would recommend? Everest, PCMark?

I like Performance Test, because it gives you all these colorful baselines.
As for Sandra, while it does seem like some of the numbers are out of whack
(I never get where the voltage readings are coming from) it does have one
bench that is very useful to me. I use the Network Information module to
regularly compile the IP info of our network computers. Takes a while, but
it's the only way I know to do it automatically.

Just look at any AMD vs Intel cpu review. Intel wins the Sandra
bandwidth and AMD wins the latency - and you can't extrapolate
from those Sandra scores how the various processors are going to
do in the application benchmarks.

I don't much care for either of those. I think the actual
application benchmarks are the ones people need to see. If video
encoding is important to you, then look at how well various
processors do that job - not at PCMark. If games are important
to you, look at the gaming benchmarks - not irrelevant things
like Sandra.
