Intel® HDxPRT measures the digital media creation performance and HD Playback capabilities of a PC. Tests take only about 20 minutes to run, and HDxPRT reports out several scores.

The Create HD Score measured by HDxPRT represents the overall digital media creation performance of a test system. The Play HD Experience rating represents the Blu-ray and HD Flash videos playback capabilities of the test system. The Create HD score in HDxPRT 2009 is based on the test PC’s performance in video, photo and audio usages. Our design approach of using natural work units resulted in defining the video, photo and music usages as described below. Create HD score is a higher-is-better score, whereas the sub-scores are lower-is-better (time-based) scores.
