bench·mark ( P ) Pronunciation Key (bnchmärk)
n.
A standard by which something can be measured or judged: “Inflation... is a great distorter of seemingly fixed economic ideas and benchmarks” (Benjamin M. Friedman). See Synonyms at standard.
often bench mark A surveyor's mark made on a stationary object of previously determined position and elevation and used as a reference point in tidal observations and surveys.

-----------------

It's a real-time rendered piece of the game to test how your system will perform with HL2.

never know... benchmarks were supposed to be released before the game, as with the SDK. You don't know that the benchmarks won't be delayed along with the game. Wouldn't surprise me. (if the game is delayed)

i wonder what sort of benchmark it will be, if there will be any sort of actual animations and stuff put to the test we can see, or if it just does lame shit and then tell us our comps cant run it

Ummm... Yes there will be "animations." What do you think a benchmark is?
