BAPCo, Business Applications Performance Corporation, is a non-profit consortium (founded in 1991) with a charter to develop and distribute a set of objective performance benchmarks for personal computers based on popular software applications and operating systems.
As of 2024, BAPCo's current membership includes Acer, ARCIntuition, Compal, Dell, Dynabook, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Intel, Inventec, LC Future Center, Lenovo, Pegatron, Quanta Computer, Samsung, Western Digital and Wistron, among others. [1]
Benchmarks from BAPCo include:
BAPco has suffered criticism for bias in its benchmarking products. It was found in 2002 that Intel was the sole contributor to a series of CPU tests, tests which heavily favoured their own CPUs vs competitors, where the tests of the year before performed significantly better on non-Intel parts. [2] In 2011, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nividia left BAPCo with AMD claiming that the SYSmark benchmark was biased toward Intel. [3] Intel was investigated by the FTC, and eventually fined for this action, among other anti-competitive measures. [4]
