Yes, for this review, we are using two desktops to verify performance. While not ideal, we do not have up-to-date benchmarks with the current testing suite for any other laptops. As such, the two systems above shall be used, one a is higher-end system while the other is more mainstream.
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 comparisons across various processors and acts as a quick test to see if the processor is performing as it should.
Cinebench R20 offers a look into single and multi-core performance. It can be run by anyone and allows for hardware comparisons across several generations. It is also looped to check for thermal throttling.
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 that can be 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.
