General Performance

When it comes to general performance, there are many things to be tested. To start, we utilize AIDA64 Engineer to check memory latency and read-, write-, and copy speeds; CPU Queen is used for a comparison across various processors.

Cinebench R15 offers a look into single- and mutli-core performance that is easy to understand and comparable across several generations of today's storage options.

PCMark 8 Home is used to test general computing performance through various tests that cover web browsing, writing, photo editing, video chat and playback, and casual gaming. I run both Conventional and Accelerated to get a good idea of how a system performs as a sum of its parts. Conventional is a standard benchmark while Accelerated uses OpenCL to leverage the graphics processor for improved performance.
