Sager NP8886 2.8GHz Pentium 4

Performance - Content Creation and Business

Unfortunately our test system would not complete the Office Productivity portion of SYSmark so we were forced to leave this portion of the test section out. The cause behind the SYSmark 2002 error remains undetermined and could be something isolated to our individual system or a problem that runs throughout the NP8886 line. There are some known errors in the benchmark and it is possible that we just discovered another one. Overall stability of the system did not seem to be effected by the timeout error encountered in SYSmark.

The Internet Content Creation portion of SYSmark 2002 did, on the other hand, complete properly.

Based on a slower 2.8GHz processor, the Sager NP8886 had a bit of trouble keeping up with the 3.06GHz Hypersonic Sonic Aviator in the Internet Content Creation portion of SYSmark 2002. The NP8886 ran the benchmark 7% slower than the fastest notebook we have seen and was a mere 5% off the 3.06GHz desktop system.

This test shows the Sager NP8886 battling it out for the top notebook spot against the Hypersonic Sonic Aviator. The two systems managed to score the same amount in Content Creation Winstone 2002 even though the Sager unit uses a slower performing processor. Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a very I/O intensive benchmark and it is the fact that these two units use the same hard drive and are based upon similar processors that the systems perform comparatively.

Because we just added Business Winstone 2002 into the test mix we are unable to compare the NP8886 to many other notebook systems. The one system we could compare it to, the Hypersonic machine, outperformed the Sager machine by 3% when configured with 1GB of memory and 7% when configured with 512MB of memory. In comparison to the 3.06GHz desktop system, the performance of the Sager machine was about 20% off.
