SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

Sandra is a (girls’) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, but it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

 The arithmetic scores here are truly impressive. We’re looking at a Coffee Lake Core-i3 deliver below – but not that far below – a Kaby Lake Core-i5 style performance. It’s a step or two off (we’d expect 70s and low-150s), but it’s a strong showing and perhaps our furst hint at this system’s capabilities. For memory bandwidth, we’re looking at 8GB of 2133MHz RAM, which places exactly where we’d expect it to.
