General Performance

When it comes to general performance, many things have to be tested. To start, we utilize AIDA64 Engineer to check on memory latency, read, write, and copy speeds. CPU Queen is used for comparisons across various processors and acts as a quick test to see if the processor is performing as it should.

Cinebench R15 and R20 offer a look into single and multi-core performance. It can be run by anyone and allows for hardware comparisons across several generations.

To further test CPU performance, we also utilize the Blender BMW benchmark render. Three runs are done to verify the results and check on potential performance degradation caused by thermal throttling.

In Adobe Premiere Pro, we track a subject through a scene as a moderate workload, which also makes use of a great deal of system memory. Like the Blender test above, three runs are done to verify the results, which are all included in the chart for comparison.
