Analysis
From this benchmark, the results show that the SolidEdge V10 CPU and graphics tests are
computation intensive and will benefit from the Hyper-Threading technology. The file I/O test
again has to share and compete for resources with the alternate threads, including the OS threads
that require file I/O operations and thus performs poorly. See Figure 14.

Montecarlo Benchmark
The Montecarlo utility includes four independent tasks that run at the same time. Each task
contains four spreadsheets. Each spreadsheet contains different Montecarlo functions, formula,
and graphic calculations.
