When it comes to general performance, many things have to be tested. To start, we utilize AIDA64 Engineer to check on memory latency and read-, write-, and copy speeds; CPU Queen is used for comparison across various processors.
Cinebench R15 offers a look into single- and multi-core performance that is easy to understand and comparable across several generations of today's hardware.
PCMark 10 offers a look into general computing performance. It's a bit more modern than PCMark 8, offering numerous updates, and leverages a systems graphics processor by default.
Finally, SPECviewperf 13 is used to verify graphical performance in a variety of professional workloads.
