Welcome!

Welcome to SpecProbe!

SpecProbe is not only a reboot of Inxi.NET that probes all hardware information from your computer, such as your graphics card, your CPU, and your hard drives, but also provides you with some platform-specific tools that are useful, such as loading native libraries.

Benchmarking

The benchmark shows the comparison of performance of SpecProbe and Inxi.NET in their default settings with a dry job running the hardware probe only once.

• SpecProbe: CPU, GPU, RAM, and HDD (3.2.1)

• Inxi.NET: CPU, GPU, RAM, and HDD (2022.5.0.4)

BenchmarkDotNet v0.14.0, Windows 11 (10.0.22631.4317/23H2/2023Update/SunValley3)
Intel Core i7-8700 CPU 3.20GHz (Coffee Lake), 1 CPU, 12 logical and 6 physical cores
.NET SDK 8.0.403
  [Host] : .NET 8.0.10 (8.0.1024.46610), X64 RyuJIT AVX2
  Dry    : .NET 8.0.10 (8.0.1024.46610), X64 RyuJIT AVX2

| Method                   | Mean       | Error |
|------------------------- |-----------:|------:|
| ProbeEverythingInxiNet   | 2,356.4 ms |    NA |
| ProbeEverythingSpecProbe |   434.1 ms |    NA |

Inxi.NET took 2,356.4 milliseconds, or 2.3 seconds, to probe all the supported hardware types, while SpecProbe only took 434.1 milliseconds for all the supported types mentioned above.

This results in SpecProbe being faster than Inxi.NET.
