Benchmark395

Benchmark395 is a synthetic CPU benchmark developed by Futuremark, a company known for creating performance testing tools for computing hardware. Introduced as part of the *Futuremark Benchmark Suite*, it is designed to evaluate the processing capabilities of central processing units (CPUs) under various computational workloads. The benchmark measures performance in multiple scenarios, including integer and floating-point arithmetic, memory bandwidth, and multithreading efficiency, providing a comprehensive assessment of a CPU’s overall capabilities.

The name "Benchmark395" likely references the year 2019, as it was released alongside other benchmarks in Futuremark’s updated suite. Unlike real-world applications, Benchmark395 uses artificial workloads to isolate CPU performance from other system components, such as graphics cards or storage speeds. This makes it useful for comparing CPUs across different platforms, including desktops, laptops, and servers.

The benchmark generates a score based on the CPU’s ability to complete a set of tasks within a given timeframe. Higher scores indicate better performance, though results should be interpreted in context, as real-world applications may not align perfectly with synthetic testing. Benchmark395 is often used by hardware reviewers, enthusiasts, and manufacturers to assess CPU improvements and compare new processors against older models.

While Futuremark has since shifted focus to newer benchmarks like *3DMark* and *PCMark*, Benchmark395 remains a reference tool for CPU performance evaluation. It is available as part of older versions of the Futuremark suite and can still be found in some benchmarking databases for historical comparisons.
