MATLAB bench marking is the one of the most realistic method of gauging your CPU’s computing power. Though PCMark Vantage and SiSoft Sandra 2011 are good benchmarking packages, but their evaluation is based on simulations and specific algorithm computations which are often far from real world performance. In MATLAB you get an idea where your PC stands compared to the most commonly used platforms running MATLAB today.
