Benchmarks were run with:
blender_binary -b projects/bricks_and_water_plugin.blend -o ram:pool -F JPEG -f 0
Sorry guys, if I spoil the party...
But I totally fail the point in shelling out such an amount for a machine to run Blender on when an el-cheapo 250€ box will run that benchmark in [...] 0.56s. (Actually, that's pretty depressing...)
The video playing stuff is much more relevant as it shows what a potential "everyday-use, allround" machine can or can't do at all (since video needs to be played realtime).
