In general benchmarking divisible become two type according to equipment:
sintetis benchmarking and application benchmarking
Sintetis Benchmarking used to measure the system shares individuallyly. For example benchmarking to CPU. This Benchmarking will advise to measured aspect performance us individuallyly without mixed with the other shares. But, this measurement also is often criticized because will not representation system performance as a whole.
One of the mistake that often made is to taking mean of result benchmark components with best value and then tell it as most optimal combination. Some computer advertisement is often take opportunity this to improve their sale. On the contrary, benchmarking application used to test the system as a whole.
Benchmarking can also divided become two according to level measurement:
low level and high level.
Benchmarking lowly level will measure the performance hardware be like CPU, RAM, harddisk,dan other as him.
On the contrary, benchmarking high level will measure combination from hardware, driver, and operating system is as a whole
