We here and at other sites like this place all talk about benchmark numbers, synthetic or otherwise. We talk about how CPUz numbers are higher, we talk about how FPS numbers are higher, etc. but we never seem to talk about how newer and faster processors can translate to real world performance.
For instance... Will upgrading to a newer and faster processor really improve overall system performance? Will it make for a system that boots faster? Will it make for a system that can juggle more open programs at the same time without feeling like it's dragging a boat anchor behind it?
Sure, there are those of us who are hardcore gamers that care about FPS numbers but there are those of us who use our computers for more than just that, they do work on them but not just work but lots of work at the same time; the heavy multitaskers if you will. You know the type, the kind of person who has a multi-monitor setup with programs open on both monitors and a fully loaded task manager. I fall into this category of computer user, the heavy multitasker.
Before you say that there's the 7ZIP numbers they never do tell you how large of a set of files they are attempting to compress in their 7ZIP test. How big are the file? How many? What type of files? Hell, I'd like to see QuickPar/MultiPar numbers be brought to the table as well.
Basically anything that can show how much a newer processor will benefit not just gaming but something that can translate to real world performance. Something that can tell a user if upgrading from a five year old CPU (Core i5 3570k) to a new Ryzen chip will really benefit in how a system can handle a heavy multitask load.
